Summary:

The Five Ten Freerider Pro Cycling Shoe for men is a firm, sticky, and durable flat-pedal shoe made for maximizing whatever ride you may be on. Five-Ten has taken serious care in coming up with a shoe that does not fail on sticking to the pedals, protects feet, and maximizes the efficiency between your leg and the wheel, although it may not be breathable enough for riders in hot climates, or comfortable enough for longer hike-a-bikes. To get the most out of this shoe, try it on first to make sure that the narrower toe-box can fit your foot comfortably.
