Five Ten Freerider Pro Mountain Bike Shoes

These are the ones you're looking for. Exceptional grip. Durable. Run true to size. Look great.Depending on the brand, sizing can vary a bit. I usually prefer size 9.5 in most major brands, including vans, Nike, and keen. For these 510's, I ordered size 9.5 and they fit perfectly. They are comfortable when riding. I think most people should order their usual size. If you are in between half sizes (for example in the range of 9.0 to 9.5) , I would suggest the larger end of your size range (e.g. 9.5).Previously I had been riding with vans pro skate shoes, which were pretty good for flat MTB pedals (Kona Wah Wahs). But these 510 pros grip even better than my vans. Truly impressive grip. Almost sticky! My feet have not slipped off the pedals a single time, while going over lots of chunky rocks and roots in western NC. Like they are locked in.Some reviews says these 510's don't hold up. I have put hundreds of miles on these over 3 months of riding, and I see barely any wear. I will update if any issues. I expect these to last.The synthetic upper handles water very well. No soggy feeling with these pros. They shed water and stay relatively dry.I got the black shoes, and they look great. I'm not a fan of lots of colors and patterns ony shoes. These have a clean stealthy look.Overall these are great MTB shoes for flat pedals. Highly recommended.

Excellent fit, well made and grippy. I cannot believe I got these for $70.

To my surprise they are comfortable. The front toe area is stiff as described for protection and the heal area. They look nice, my wife even likes how they look. Good shoes for mtb riding and like the flat bottom that captures all the pedal

Love these shoes. Perfect for nonclip pedals as the sole really stick. Also like the look of the shoes and the firm sole

First pair of such cycle shoes. Could not believe how well they work. Felt like magic at first. If you are using normal sneakers/runners this is a serious upgrade.

These shoes surprised me.I measured my foot using a tape measure from my heel to my longest toe. 11.5 is my size. I ordered the 11.5 assuming no issues.When I first put them on, they felt very off. Such as the shoe felt very stiff. I attribute this to their impact resistant material. Further, it felt very tight, especially on the sides (I have large/wide feet). And there was a lump-like feeling when just standing and walking with them. I was beginning to regret my purchase, but this is why I will absolutely not return it and instead loved it 10× more than I could of thought initially.Here is what I did:1) I immediately loosened the laces.-That fixed the tightness a bit. The shoe felt very "snug". But not completely comfortable yet...2) I forced myself to wear the shoe for 1 to 2 days, and then a bike ride or two.-This fixed the following:•Tightness was gone, it felt comfortable and it definitely widened according to my foot size.•The stiffness was not as noticeable as well. I attribute this to the shoe widening a bit to my foot.•Lump was not noticeable either, so I assume my body weight, down pressure, and wearing it for 1 to 2 days definitely helped bring the feeling of a lump down.After those negatives were taken care of, i must say the shoe looks legit. It definitely protects your toes and the sides of your feet. And the grip, my goodness, the grip is perfect for those who ride with clipless pedals or just want more grip when sending it downhill.The shoe gave me confidence when coming down rock gardens, loose dirt, ruts from rain, stumps, and jumps. This shoe does add to your mountain biking ability because of how well it performs under those conditions.If you want a shoe that wont slip while riding. This is it.It is expensive, but i rather feel secure riding than slip and potentially go over the bars or get into an accident.Also, it does help a lot on those long climbs. And it doesn't feel uncomfortable anymore. Worth spending the money IMO.Before you give up on them, try a size up too. It takes sometime for sure, just to get used to this shoe. But the benefits are worth it.

I've got crank brothers non metallic pedals on my bike. Rode many miles just riding with just sneakers. These have drastically improved my stability, grip, and confidence on my bike. I'm not quite ready to be clipped in (not sure if I'll ever be), and wanted a good flat pedal shoe. These work as advertised and are highly rated in the mountain bike community as one of the best flat pedal shoes - they live up to their rating. The sizing is accurate to what you wear normally, and can even "pull" my pedals up when I want to. I've also found that my feet don't' come off the pedals near as much even when I'm on bumpy terrain and i'm not putting as much pressure on my feet.
