...around / pushing you do you might want a more flexible sole; the more flexible the better for walking but the worse for power transfer to pedal) & fixing. Also style if you plan to walk around in them!!
I have a set M535 (LX) shimano pedals as well as a set of cheap M646 platform copies from wellgo.

Advantages: Very Comfortable, great allrounder, velcro closure system Disadvantages: Not the most technical shoe, the dye runs.
...This is more of a follow-up to my review of the standard Red Chili Spirits (http://sports.ciao.co.uk/RedChiliSpiritReview5643275) as I bought these after my lace up Spirits wore out. I found the Lace up shoes to be very comfortable while still offering ample ability, but fancied the quick on/off advantage of the Velcro Spirit.

There are many features on the reel which include
# it has a ratio of 4.6:1(reserves a good deal of cranking power)
# line capacity of 350yards of 17lb line(ideal for long range casting)
# dyna balance which reduces wobble
# aero wrap which gives superb line lay, this ensures the line leaves the spool more cleanly with minimul amount of friction, enableing longer and smoother casting.
# instant drag facility
So what does all this mean, this means you get a great reel capable of playing any size fish
when i was recently using thereel i particually found that the instant drag facility...
