Why can it no longer have the stripes? Once you have won the champs you have the right to display the stripes on your kit forever.

However, they look awful anyway! WTF are those Rennie things??? Does he think he is Michael Jordan? Shocked

And again they have made some redicusouly bad looking shoes! What is wrong with the designers! The skate models are the only nice ones there.

Oh dear!!!! Didn't think the rennie model could get any uglier than this years but it has. Sam hills are ok i suppose but won't be buying. Karver model look like a kiddies shoe. Skate shoes are ok. Lets hope the standard versions aint too extravagant for 09. Keep em plain and simple.

some of their approach shoes and trail shoes look better and still have the dimple stealth sole.

Five Ten - Dæscent
Five Ten - Camp 4

These two are a lot lighter / more comfortable / bit more casual or stylish than the Impact style shoes.

5.10 shoes look like tumors. Call me a tart, but no matter how well they perform, I wouldn't wear anything that looks like that on my feet.

Do they still offer the sole swap thing, were you can send off any pair of trainers, and they put the stealth soles on?

You wouldn't want to be wearing their trail/approach shoes on the bike either.

They're designed to be flexible/soft/supple everything you don't want from a bike shoe.

I'll stick with my battered old black ones, and more importantly...my SPuD's.

The 661 skate style ones and the Oakley's are probably the closest?!

My Adidas' are ugly as sin, but they're as stiff as a stiff thing and light Smiley

I've thought the 661 looked terrible, Minaar and Lopes have run some Oakleys that didn't look too bad I suppose.
