5/10 impact
FiveTen Free riders. Look less 'special' than the impacts.
i like to look'special'.
Avoid stealth if just on flats. Too grippy and you have to lift your foot to make small adjustments.
Try 661 filter. cheaper too.
Five Ten Freeriders +1
Marz bombers with stealth soles

true enough, but i kinda like the security

Yep, there's no such thing as too grippy in my book.
To the OP, It's a shame you didn't snap up the Shimano AM 40's much earlier as Merlin were selling them off for £39.95 a long while ago, I have a pair and they work fairly well grip wise, are comfy, the large velcro thing on the top keeps the laces clean and dry and I like the high upper supports on the inside, protecting the ankles but they look like something out of a shop for pimps in L.A or somewhere, you still might get them cheaper than five tens though, I have some Freerider shoes as well which I also like but they don't have protection for the laces on top, nor do they have high upper supports, I would say the impacts look more practical and kinda wish I'd bought them now.
Lastly, don't right off skate shoes, many people wear vans and such like, I have some Adio shoes I wear for leisure and noticed while riding my bike back from LBS that they grip really well, many skate shoes can be had for around £20, £30 or £40 mark.
