Five Ten Freerider Shoes
Product DescriptionSome like to attract attention with their personal stylings, and for them, there's the Blue Zebra. However, if you like to let your riding tell your tale, then the Five Ten Freerider Shoe in black/grey will do the trick. The understated colors will help you keep a low profile, that is, until you tailwhip over the big double at your local dirt jump spot and stick the pedals for a perfect landing.Five Ten's Stealth Rubber was developed for rock climbing shoes. As such, it has excellent gription which makes it super easy to keep your feet on the pedals. Just think, no shinburger for dinner... again. It's also super durable. It had to be tough for climbing shoes to suffer the wear and tear from hard granite cliffs for days on end. The Freerider Shoes may just have a tougher job. They have to endure the prodding from the metal spikes on your pedals all day, but the Stealth Rubber can take it. Five Ten Stealth Rubber soles will outlast the gum rubber sole on a conventional skate shoe every time and stick better to your pedals all the while. The Freerider Shoe has all the style that you want and the bomber sole that you need to land big tricks without blowing your feet. The grey panels on the upper are made of brushed nubuck leather. The toe box is reinforced to provide added protection if you lose it in mid-air. And one of the coolest details is the California license plate on the back of the heel.The Five Ten Freerider Shoe is available in Black/Grey, Red/Black, Red/Grey, and Orange/Grey and comes in half sizes from 4 - 12 and whole sizes 13 and 14.

from Hood River, OR, USA Date Reviewed: January 26, 2012 Strengths: The Stealth rubber sole is provides amazing grip when used with a proper flat pedal. The fit is perfect and they look good off the bike as well as on. Weaknesses: Cant really think of anything other than that they could be a bit less bulky, perhaps lighter.

from UK and China Date Reviewed: July 16, 2011 Strengths: Grippy, but not too much, good in hot and cold weather, better than skate shoes for walking up hills, some ankle support. Can be worn out in the evenings. Weaknesses: Come apart at seams and get worn on the soles eventually maybe after a year or more.

from San Luis Obispo Date Reviewed: June 11, 2011 Strengths: Excellent grip My foot does not sweat/get swamp foot like I had expected (I use to ride in running shoes that had lots of ventilation and I fear switching over would create sweat problems, but they didn't!) Mildly comfortable Although style shouldn't be a major factor when buying shoes for mountain biking, they do look better than the 5. 10 Impact shoes. Warranties on the stitching coming undone could potentially be helpful Weaknesses: They aren't the best for when you have to walk your bike up a part of the mountain. When I had to walk up mountains, I preferred the running shoes I had more but I realize I have to make some compromises as the grip these shoes have is incredible. They're comfortable on the insides and I haven't ever had majorly sore feet, but I have considered getting a sole insert. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Manzanita Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $75.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Nike Running shoes and regular skate shoes Bike Setup: Straitline Platform Pedals on my Norco Range 3. Those pedals and these shoes are some serious grip.

from HI Date Reviewed: April 17, 2011 Strengths: Grippy!! And no I wouldn't say "too" grippy. Weaknesses: The shoe is too puffy aournd the ankle. I had to open a slit and pull all the stuffing out around the ankle so I could pedal without interference. I've never even had crank rub on any other shoe. The rubber around the toe cap catches on the crank. One side is completely ripped off my shoe. Also, have never had this problem with any other shoe I've had. Besides the sole, nothing much good about them. Basically a cheap puffed up Walmart skate shoe with a much better sole.

from Zurich, Switzerland Date Reviewed: March 19, 2011 Strengths: grip on platform pedals is great Weaknesses: They quickly soak up tons of water in wet conditions. And it takes ages to dry them. Also, grip is bad if you need to walk in difficult trail. And, findally: laces on bike shoes? WTF? Laces just don't go well with chains and chainrings.
