I got these after reading good reviews on forums, but after trying them they were just too stiff for my liking. They do have the mounts for riding clipless and are setup for riding on flats, but when I tried them with my bike the difference just wasn't great enough for me to make the switch. The shoes are very rigid and when I'm on the trails it just didn't work out well. Probably great for DH riders & BMX. FiveTen does make good shoes, but just wasn't for me.
