Five Ten Freerider Contact Cycling Shoe – Men’s

User Reviews

• Very lightweight.
• Great flat pedal shoe.
• The rubber gives you super grip that feels like clipped in pedals, yet they are clipless!
• Super comfy, especially after breaking them in.

Expert Reviews

• Great for long rides.
• Uppers (the top part of the shoe, including toes, top foot, sides, and back heel ) are made from TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) which provides protection against scraps from branches, rocks, and cranks.
• Gripless sole is still sticky enough to grip your flat pedals, but also gives you the chance to adjust your footing.
• It is a stylish shoe design with full functionality.
• Soles are made from Five Ten’s Mi6TM super cushion rubber, offering maximum grip for the surface area of your foot.
• You can adjust your footing without interference because of the gripless area located in the middle of the bottom sole.
• You can feel confident with having mobility while keeping your foot glued to the petal.

User Reviews

• These shoes tend to run on the smaller side, so getting a 1/2 size up, especially if you wear thick socks, may be beneficial.
• Major durability questions about these shoes, with numerous users complaining that the shoes fell apart after minimal use.
• Depending on your level of riding, the durability of the sole may not last as long as you expect for high intensity riders.
• If your petals are smoother than you’d like, you may have a hard time using these shoes to grip them because of the gripless sole surface.

Expert Reviews

• Designed a bit narrow.
• Gripless tread can cause slickness when hiking.
• Not 100% waterproof.
