SixSixOne Filter shoes


THE FILTER IS a super-heavy but sturdy and well priced BMX style shoe for all-round gravity use. Cutting the sole to expose the cleat holes is a pain but there’s enough space around them to stop clogging. The flat sole gives plenty of outboard overlap on wider pedals and the shoes work OK if you’re unclipped.

They’re not so floppy that they droop around the pedal and cause hot spots, but power transfer is adequate at best and their high weight can be a drag on long rides.

While the perforated synthetic leather is pretty weatherproof, they’re super-heavy and slow to dry when sodden. They can take a lot of hard riding in their stride though, and the protected laces and removable crossover strap over the deeply padded tongue keep them secure.

Weight 1,242g
Sizes 38-47

PRICE: 105$
