There are lots of examples of aggressive 'Enduro' shoes with more curved
soles. Giro Terraduro and Specialized Rime are both good examples that are
popular with folks I ride with.
Actually, It looks like both Shimano's AM9 and Giro's Chamber - similar
styling to my Five Tens - may curve up at the toe enough to work fine as well.
I wanted to mention it in the first look because I think it's helpful;
however, I've only experimented with two shoes at this point as that's what
what I have on hand.
The point was, and is, to avoid really flat soles - or to get advice from you
dealer on compatible footwear/pedals - not that they're only compatible with a
"pussy XC shoe".
