Mr Chukka here. I'm pretty you could ride in as heavy a boot as you wanted, as long as you were comfortable with how the tread of the boot matches with the platform of the pedal. While I'm not always happy with the flat soles of the Chukkas (when pushing up muddy slopes for instance), they give a nice flat meaty surface for the spikes on the grip kings or VP-1s to sink into.
I've also noticed that generally, you do *so little* with your feet while riding that what you're wearing doesn't really matter, or that you'll not notice a pebble in your shoe for miles and miles until you get off and actually walk around. cc On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 8:21 AM, Coconutbill <evan.spa...@gmail.com> wrote: > the Redwings have a fairly smooth sole, but it's a good ole vibram sole, >> nonetheless.
