What are some good DH shoe options, what do you wear?

[Bonsai-CP offline]

Hands down 5.10's are the very best for DH/FR. Some Vans and some DC are really good for the FR, but as I said, the 5.10's are hands down the best gripping DH/FR shoes on the market.

Do either of you have a favorite 5.10 shoe?

[Bonsai-CP offline]

My favorite is the 5.10 Rennie High, but they do not make these anymore that I am aware of, so when I replace the Rennie's I have, I will replace them with the 5.10 Desert Enforcer High, Karver, or Cyclone. I like the high protection around the ankles and has saved my ankles on a few occasions by far.

For urban street, I like the low impacts like the Freerider (black, grey, or white), Baron, or the Hellcat.

If you want just simple, then fly with either the 5.10 Impact High or Impact Low. Great shoe all around by far.

510 Freeriders are great (very comfy). I'm riding in Spitfires right now because I was able to buy them for $55 in a liquidation sale. I was expecting them to not provide a lot of support for my bad ankle but they actually have a stiffer heel than the Freeriders and I now prefer the Spitfires. Traction is the same for any 510.

Thanks for the feed back, you guys pretty much have me sold on a pair of 5.10's.

I was looking at getting either the barons or the freeriders, which one? has anybody ridden with the barons?

I own the new makaskill's and use them, well for every thing, great shoe, by far! But I hope you find them for cheap, because
I didn"t, I paid 145!!!!!
