Howdy fellow MTBers.......lend me your ears.....

I like using flats and also SPD's depending on where I am going. I'm not one for XC super stiff shoes with studs etc......but want something more comfy etc.

I see everyone on bikeradar raving about 5.10's etc....but I look at the cost and was wandering what peoples view on the 661 gear is, as I kinda like these....

Never used those, but, the Shimano ones are good and only a couple of quid more. I've got the older version, the AM40s, there's not a better flats riding shoe IMO
