What kind of shoes should I get for downhill mountain biking/ freeride?

just wondering what kind of shoes guys wear when they go downhill mountain biking. ive been watching some freeride clips and it looks like they're wearing skateboarding shoes but I couldnt really tell for sure. thanks in advance for your help.

Im a big fan of clipless pedals, if you get Shimano M540 pedals and shoes to suit, you can try them out! If you cant get on with them, then use another pair of shoes as this pedal has a platform as well!

Worth checking out eh?

    For DH… i usually use flat soled shoes similar to skate shoes. 661, 5ten, fox, oakley, etc have some nice shoes available. Some you can even remove a plate to make them clipless ready. The ONLY time I clip in is when i'm only doing singletrack or wide open trails.
