They are interesting, but they get onto the other problem I have with 5-10s which is that they are fine for cold weather but way too warm to use in summer / not much ventilation. Was getting hot foot wearing them yesterday.
The OWN ones look like big black boots which would also be hot on a sunny day. Do people wear these on a hot summer day in California or Tuscany?

Pretty much all flat pedal shoes are designed for gravity racing or trail/freeride, but they are generally stiffer than skate shoes. OWN FR01 are probably the closest thing to racy, technical flat pedal shoes. Stiffer than 5.10s and have a shock absorbing D30 insole, which is comfy. Also they have swappable waterproof and mesh inners, which is really handy. I've done all-dayers happily in them. I think the company is working on a new model.
