I've been the same pair of Orchids since 2003. What are a good pair of shoes for flatland?

I have some Subrosa Team Osiris shoes that are doing me well.

Ive just got a pair of Adidas' they're really comfortable. The sole is pretty thin, however it has some special "sports" pattern on it & you can feel more.

They can also be kind of bulky though was looking for something lighter (maybe adidas?)

ah i see.. the best shoes i rode so far have been etnies rvm(although the toes the front of the rubber seperated from the fabric after a while :( )...but i think in general i think vulcanized shoes are too soft and shoes in which their outer sole isn't stitched around tend to be less durable..

I had a pair of Orchid's that only lasted for two weeks (Kevin Porter) . I went though a lot of shoes and, from my experience, the Adidas Top Ten lasted the longest. I'm currently riding the Nike Air Flight 89', it's the best shoe I ridden in thus far (Jesse Puente approved).
