I need a new pair of shoes but I want to get a pair the I can ride with but I also need to be able to wear them to school. I ride flats and don't want a dorky looking pair of shoes.

any pair of vans with their standard waffle pattern. If you discover that the sole is too soft, get some vans skate shoes with that pattern. That's been my BMX/MTb guideline for the past 15 years.

vans or nike's 6.0 because of the waffle sole. The 5-10 low aren't that stylish for everyday use, but if you ride DH everyday after school, then you are one lucky bastard and could make a compromise.

they are 2 days old. still a bit stiff, of course they dont give the same level of grip as my impacts on the bike. but still really good.

thats all i can say for now.

I might make that compromise because I have a DH trail in my backyard that I do get to ride every day.

The new California 5.10s are a different rubber, but the regular Impacts do not have non marking soles and can mark up floors, walls and anything else you slide a bit on. Great for riding, not so great for school and such.

The 'stealth rubber' logo on the sides doesn't mean it's the same vertical wall walking stuff as the impacts?

Grippier than a standard skate shoe?
The stealth rubber is just as grippy as the normal ones, the guys at 510 said the only difference is the fact that they are non marking
