Afton Keegan Flat Pedal Shoe
The Good

Good grip to the pedal, good ventilation, toe box protection

The Bad

they´re very slippery in the rain, dont offer heel protection

Overall Review
I wanted to buy a good riding shoe, and i looked for this new brand to give it a chance, i have two monts riding it, are very confortable, and could be dressed in any ocation, the offer a good grip in the pedal but once they get wet gets very slippery, i would love a version that covers the heel because they already have toe box reinforced. The outsole needs to be rethinked because it´s getting very damaged with the pedal´s screws, and dont offer any support to the heel when it needs it, the material is very hard, is good for the confort because dont cause any pain when you´re riding, but it...

Overall Review
What comes to mind when looking to buy a new set of clipless shoes: price, looks, platform size, ventilation, or brand? To me, ventilation and platform size are the deal breakers.

First of all, the shoe is surprisingly breathable for a heavy downhill shoe. I have been able to ride multiple times in 90 F (32 C) weather and come back with no more sweat than that of any other shoe. Another positive would be the...

Afton Keegan Flat Pedal Shoe
The Good

-good grip with ability to reposition when you want -doesn't look too much like a bulky bike shoe

The Bad

-durability (probably) -uncomfortable tongue

Overall Review
I've only had these for about 2 months. I bought them because they were First impressions were good. Grip was really good, but you're able to move your foot when you want. They do stay locked when things are just rowdy. Looks were ok (i have the black/charcoal ones); I would say they look more like a skate shoe with a thicker sole. The first problem I noticed was the tongue. It's really thin foam with no tough coating or anything, so you can really feel laces through it. It's not gusseted (which i knew) but because it's so flimsy, it moves around quite a bit while putting them on. Also given...
