    What DH mid/high top flat shoe to get?

    Anyone know of a mid to high DH flat (no spd) shoe with the following attributes:

    Wide wide forefoot
    Sticky rubber sole
    Excellent support for the occasional overshoot to flat landing

    I horded fiveten Karvers, but my last pair finally died. I bought some fiveten freeride canvas and they are like wearing a speedo to a bullfight.

    The fiveten ?impact pros? Look interesting.

    Impact Pros are your best bet, and have been on fire sale lately. RC TNT are also similarly wide and stiff, but their rubber isn't as sticky.

    I've tried pretty much every other shoe in that category and there rest are all narrower or have less grip.

    IMO, Race Concept Wild Cat is a durable and tough mid flat sole shoe. Got a pair that I have had for a long time and has been my go to shoe for strong terrain and ebiking. Still going strong and have a box of bike shoes that have warn out. I guess the only con I have is that they are stiff and putting them on is almost like putting on ski boots. They can be had for cheap as RC has changed hands and a lot of older inventory is out there.
