I agree with you on soft rubber compound being critically important, I didn't mean to imply they aren't. Those totally flat five.tens have awesome pedal grip if they're Stealth S1 rubber. They SUCK for walking on slimy dirt, so I won't buy them again, but pedal grip is more locked in than my other five.tens.
I started riding flats in Vans gumsole waffles before five.tens were a bike thing. Would love to see Vans get seriously into bike.
