Five Ten Freerider Pro Mountain Bike Shoes Men's

I read a ton of online reviews before buying these shoes, mostly because I figured that another large company like Giro or Shimano or Specialized would have produced another all-around/somewhat gravity oriented shoe that is a little lighter or looks a little better or is a little cheaper than the Five-Ten FreeRider Pro's.Since I couldn't make a decision, I bought all of the competitor's shoes and the FreeRider Pro's and tried them all out. The FreeRider Pro's were the only ones that I didn't send back. Personally, I don't think they're particularly good looking shoes - they look a bit clunky in the photos online. This clunkiness (for lack of a better word) is reduced in real life. They still don't look great, but it's not nearly as noticeable as it is online. Everything else about the shoe is perfect. There are no compromises.These things are well cushioned and comfortable out of the box. They're the goldilocks level of stiff, same goes for the weight. I live on the east coast (big temperature swings) and when it's hot these shoes breathe well and my feet aren't overly sweaty; yet somehow when it's cold my feet are well insulated. They're also mostly waterproof.Five-Ten is owned by Adidas and sizing is true to Adidas athletic shoe sizing. I'm a 10.5 in Adidas and a 10.5 in these. I have a narrow foot but the toe box would accommodate a wider foot easily.In short, these are shoes that you buy and never think about again. I've done everything from east coast chunky riding to slickrock in Moab to pure downhill in Deer Valley on these things. The shoes were never on my mind during the ride. They do what they're supposed to - keep you attached to the pedals and having fun.

The pictures show the shoes condition after a year and a half of rough riding.All around good shoes. VERY sticky on the pedals when new. After a year and a half the sole has become quite torn up from use. While they don’t hold on to the pedals like they used to, they are still tacky enough for some rough rides.These shoes proved themselves incredibly useful for protection too. I took a huge hit to the top of my foot on a rock outcrop in a tight turn. The toe cap material was firm enough to take the full force of the impact without hurting my foot. I would have been in a lot of pain if these were just canvas Vans.

I had to send the shoes back immediately - they sent me USED shoes that were all bent out of shape and covered in dirt! I kid you not. They weren't just used, they were old. $150 for used shoes!?On the plus side, they did refund my money, but I was worried about getting another pair of used shoes again. They had the size and color I wanted, so I took another chance, and this time new shoes arrived. Although it all worked out in the end, it was not a positive experience overall - it left a bad taste in my mouth, especially with Amazon involved.The shoes are great - very grippy, comfortable, and the sole is very rigid. I recommend the shoe, but I recommend caution with the provider.

Stop lights are red. Rudolph's nose is red. These shoes aren't red. They're orange. Not just orange - florescent road cone orange. Like the company made the shoes from a deer hunter's safety vest. They're going back as soon as I can put on my welder's mask and re-box them.

Love these shoes for cycling with . Stiff heavy thick bottom shoe. Plays really well with platform pedals that have pins. I use One Ups and the combo of the two pedals is magical. Amazing foot retention. And to be honest -- the shoe is more of an improvement in foot retention than the pedal. If you can only afford one upgrade right now do the shoes.The shoes are very big and heavy compared to other shoes. The weight isn't a problem for me and I enjoy the added stiffness and thickness of the material all around. But the size is a bit big to use with my bike that uses toeclips. These shoes are not for that though so not complaining.They work will off the bike too, not the most optimal walking shoe but I do end up walking in them a lot.The shoe itself is stiff enough that I feel comfortable wearing it at work (I work in film/tv and you need something generally protective on your foot). They are not ugly which is a plus. Makes it acceptable cycle to work without changing shoes. They are however a little squeaky on some floors which can pose a problem uniquely for me as the sound engineer.I size up a half size, normally a 10.5 I wear 11s. Part of that is the fit, the other part is that I wear these more often in colder weather so like having thicker socks. For whatever that is worth.I go through a pair of these every 2 years. The sole doesn't really wear out to were its unusable on the bike. But eventually the part where your toe bends when you walk creates a crease that eventually cracks and opens up. I still use em like that for a while but they lose any water resistance they had before. If you dont walk much in them they will probably last longer.

These are super comfy and have great stick on the floor but I’ve had these 2 months, admittedly wearing all day everyday, and the inner heel area is starting to fray. These are expensive and I wanted them to last over a year, but these may only last 6-9 months if the heel continues to fray. Nice looking and sturdy on the outside though.

Superb shoes, excellent protection and surprisingly comfortable to walk in despite being designed for flat pedal riding.

Great mtb shoes as expected

Fit was as expected and the grip is pretty impressive. This is the first time after 20 years of being clipped in that I've used platform pedals and I still felt connected to the bike.I've been trying to find these shoes since last Nov and like all things bike related these days, inventory is scarce and I bit the bullet and paid the duty to ship to Canada. In the end, the price was pretty much on par with what I've seen listed and it's been totally worth it. These are the best rated flat pedal shoe on the market and so far they are meeting those expectations.

Ottima scarpa da mtb,suola rigida,buona struttura, buona la tenuta all’acqua.Attenzione al numero di scarpa,io ho acquistato (porto il 43/44 ) il nr.45 e mi trovo bene.Il prezzo e’ alto, ma la qualita’ dicono si paghi...... rimane per me cara.
