On the Adidas website. $90 for Freerider Pro. (a few other models on sale, too, but I haven't seen Pros on sale for a while)
Found these on sale for what seems like a decent price these days. Only one color for $90 - dark gray, but a couple others are on sale for a bit over $100 and lots of sizes available. Free shipping if you sign up for their club. Cashback is 15% at rakuten right now ($13.50 so $76.50 plus tax after cashback)
Hope this helps someone and happy holidays!

See post #7 for possible extra savings by purchasing a discounted e-gift card - thanks @Roy !

Thanks! I have been using the Freeriders for the last couple years and have been wanting to try the Pro versions.

As you may already know, I think the main diff with the Pro Version is its stiffer sole. I was surprised that it makes as much of a difference as it does. Much less fatigue, and so much more stability on the downhills.

I decided to give flats a couple years ago and have been pretty happy with them, but on real long rides, my feet get sore. I still run SPDs on my SS and do not have this problem, so have been wanting to try something with stiffer soles with my flats.

Cool, if the sizing is the same, I'm going to give them a try.

You can save an extra $10 per $50 by buying their $50 eGift card for $40. Got my Freerider Pros for $66.50 plus tax.
Actually, $56.50 as Rakuten gave me a $10 sign up bonus since I had not used them before.

Nice! Wish I'd seen that - I'll edit the OP.

Guess I'm a little late to the party.
Freerider Pros are $150.
Damn.

Thanks again! I was having the same problem as Sparty and figured I really did not need to be buying something for myself right before Christmas anyway. But they are on sale, so new shoes on the way!

I didn't exactly need new shoes either since I just got new ones a couple months ago. N+1 as it applies to shoes is easier to explain to the wife at least.

I think I am too late for this, but will probably get a similar deal off another site like amazon (price depends on size there).

There are reports that the Prime Blue version of these shoes, which are the cheaper ones mentioned in this thread, are not as grippy as the other Freerider Pros, but this may only be a huge deal for a few people: Anyone tried the new Five Ten Freerider Prime Blue Shoes?

Just like @Harold in the link you pointed to, the stiffer soles took some getting used to, but I really like it after about a half dozen rides since my feet take less punishment with them. So far the only thing I don't like over my previous shoes is the lack of any lace management other than tucking them into themeselves.

I do not feel like the prime blues are less grippy. the stiffer sole gives them a more "disconnected" feel from the bike, which means it's harder to tell if my foot is in the right position or not. but I haven't had any problems whatsoever with grip. and that disconnected feeling goes away under harder pounding that really pushes your feet into the pedals.

sidetrack, but REI has them for the same price. $5 cheaper if you don't have to pay shipping from Adidas.

No rakuten savings to be had though, but instant gratification if you're in a rush (and they actually have them in a store near you.)

They're $59.83 at REI.com with free shipping on items over $50.
