Case in point is the Spitfire flat pedal mountain bike shoe. Very skate styling and some hints of Vans ground it in Southern Cal beach scene, but the pedal-gripping Stealth® rubber outsole makes it el perfecto for urban dirtjumping, freeriding shuttle monkeys, and lazy-a**ed six-pack errand running." ]]> Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:04:00 -0400 9928 2010-07-01 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9928_406701_1277996680.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9927-rodellar http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9927-rodellar Just arrived for a one month trip in Rodellar.
