5-10 has always been my go to shoe but the soles last about 4-6 months and their toast. These Etnies with the Michelin sole last well over a year, I still don’t have holes in my original pair. A little stiff at first. Feet migrate around the pedals a bit but like a good motocross boot you have to break them in, then it’s game on!
Love this pair. Comfortable for walking around and tough enough for some BMX ripping in the streets!
