    dont like the lace up...the specialized i posted recently is a bit much w/ the CF sole but it's nice to have a semi stiff shoe for pedaling...not good for freeriding but definitely good for climbing.

    Nothing beats Specialized Body Geometry in my experience.

    For all you downhill donkeys Specialized makes a pretty sweet mid-top version with ankle bone protection too...I think it's called the BG TRAIL 110. http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCEqProduct.jsp?spid=26132

    Looks about 7 times better than the Shimano version, plus it's got BG.

    I've seen all types at the Path.

    We just got our shipment of these this week. They seem to be pretty popular. Decent price as well.

    FYI The Jensens deal on Shimano M181's are a little better as until the end of November, you get an additional 10% off when you buy in the store from 5:00 to 7:00, PLUS their latest mailer (which they have sitting on the counter) has a coupon for an additional $5 off!!! Net cost before tax is about $67.

    I bought my last 3 pairs from The Path. Before that, I ordered them direct online from Five-Ten.

    I recently purchased a pair of the 5-10's after reading all the hype from this thread. I have half a dozen rides on them. I have to say that their as good as everyone says they are, very sticky. I have been using them to climb and prefer wearing them over my clipless.

    I ordered them from Pricepoint and recieved them the next day.

    I have Specialized Taho's and they work out pretty good with my CB EBs. They are comfy, have a bit of flex, have a one piece sole which makes it pretty comfy when it comes time for the good ol' hike'a'bike.

    I have the black with yellow trim model. I believe Dale also uses these shoes and look how fast he is!
