These may be old news but I wear "Five Ten" shoes. I think the soles are the same rubber they use for climbing shoes/boots. They are tough shoes and get super grip. Hope this helps...
The Intense/5.10's are great but they have been pulled. The good news is some other monkeys hassled 5.10 and got them to re-release them. they will be available again soon.
I also find that DC's work really well for grip on flats. I use the Alias model but any other model that uses the same sole will work equally well.
I use Es skateshoes for freeriding and urban. http://www.esfootwear.com/ They are very comfortable and mine got airsoles.. so that;s extra cushion when you are landing. I use them for casual to. If this shoes will wear out, ill buy another pair. T
Or just Shimano sh-m320's when i use my Time z-pedals.
$20 Airwalks from Nordstrom's Rack...after 2yrs, I think I need to get a new pair. They aren't good for walking up steep, slippery places but are a dream on the pedals.
Payless shoes carry Airwalks, they have a buy-two get one half-off thing going right now and most all the time. I was just in there with my GF and I noticed they had some decent looking Andy Mac pro model's for like under $30...

There are several different options out there for you in the footwear dept.
1. 5-IOs are a great shoe for free ride if you can find them.
2. DC'S are my fav's because they have killer arch support, great uppers (they last a long time), and certain models have the gummy sole wich holds pedals really well, plus they just look so damn pimp! www.dcshoes.com
3. Oakley are making some pretty nice shoes for mtb and they have alot of input from some of the best riders in the world. They are just really pricey! Check out the radar and radar locks.
I have to agree the circa adrian lopez's are very grippy vans are good but lack ankle support. If you can find intense or five ten shoes they are the best.
