If you want a light weight mid-height shoe for riding, I’d recommend this one. I liked the fit of this shoe from the minute I put them on, they were very comfortable for me right from the start. The construction is very much like a basketball shoe or light weight hiking boot, however the sole is thinner and is made of a more dense rubber than standard shoes, so they should hold up well to resting MC pegs. There is a leather strap that closes over the top of the shoelaces to help prevent a loose lace from getting hooked on something. There is some stiff material in the heel and toe areas also, to provide some protection and to help the shoe retain its shape when shifting. The factory pic above makes it look like the sole is grey, but please take the “View Larger Pictures” link above to see some shots we took. The sole is black and the upper is a combination of black suede-like material and a rugged textile fabric.
