>>1376678You know I thought my pedals would puncture the rubber but I rode them pretty hard all day and they’re fine.
People online say the stickiest rubber will get chewed up in the long-term, but this bald-spot design just means there’s extra rubber when that happens. Most of the other 510 shoes have slightly harder rubber and the dot tread pattern all over.
Idk I guess 510s are good shoes because of the really stiff soles, the pedal specific rubber/tread, toe protection and decent water/sweat management. They make some clipless compatible shoes too but that’s not what they’re known for.
I just didn’t want to be wearing flip flops you know
