The Five Ten Freerider Contact Cycling Shoe for women is a highly breathable shoe with extraordinarily sticky rubber that keeps feet almost glued to the pedals. The softness of the rubber works with the stiff sole to create a sticky shoe with great power transfer, but also compromises on durability, wearing out quickly, especially considering the price. While this shoe is a favorite for its grip on pedals and flexibility for walking, it is not as comfortable as many other models, particularly in the tight toe box, and is overall more appropriate for people with low-volume feet.

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.

The Five Ten Freerider Contact Cycling Shoe is comfortable and provides exceptional grip, especially to flat pedals. Some users have complained of major durability issues, while others have avoided these problems. Overall, this shoe is super grippy and comfortable with nice mobility.
