Five Ten Freerider Flat Pedal Shoe

The Good: These shoes have been a great substitution for nike skate shoes as my every day shoe. Stylish, long lasting sole, and as always the stealth rubber is a huge win. They were also used for the odd dirt jump session.

The Bad: Tendency to heat up quickly in the sun. Bit to flexible for my liking (I'm used to riding in Carvers)

The Good: I never had any issues with my feet coming off my flat pedals but after hear great reviews about 5.10 I thought I would give these a try, and after use of them for one season I think it would be hard to go back to anything else besides the 5.10 sticky rubber. There are times where they feel almost too sticky (its like those first times of riding clipped in and you forget to unclip), they stick to the pedals so well and do so in all conditions, wet, snow, mud..etc. When I say too sticky I just mean that sometimes they can be tricky to reposition them when paired with pedals with aggressive pins but nothing that can be handled.
I found also if you are hiking with your bike up any rock faces the shoes grip the rock like glue, they are awesome for hike-a-bike type days.
Another bonus is when you need to clean these shoes the materials sheds the mud very well.
In terms of style the shoes look really nice and can be worn off the bike as well without looking like a goof something that hard to do with the 5.10 impacts.

The Bad: The only negatives a found is that the shoes aren’t as comfy as other skate shoes such as Nikes, so if you are just wearing them all day on the street you may find that they can get a bit uncomfortable. The other issue is that due to the tough material they get a bit hot on really hot days but this is nothing that can’t be dealt with. Overall for riding these issues don’t really cause any concern.

The Good: These shoes are great. They share a similar feel to the original retail impacts. There is a better connection between the rider and the pedal than the current model of impact, while still maintaining great grip and durability.

The Bad: Only bad side is that they take on more water than the current impact, they they offer no where near as much toe protection.

The Good: Lightweight, great styling, 510 rubber is great as always

The Bad: Lightweight, too flexy for my taste, not as much protection in the toe box as the Impacts, feel thin through the pedals compared to Impacts

The Good: Sticks to pedals really good, the look cool to

The Bad: nothing bad so far, had them for three weeks and ive raced, wore them to school, and rode everyday on them

The Good: Amazing grip- nothing beats 5.10 stealth rubber for traction. Lighter and more breathable than the 5.10 Impact or Karver.

The Bad: Durability. The sole delaminates too soon. The new model comes with a new sole construction.

The Good: These shoes have an incredible amount of grip on flat pedals.

The Bad: The rubber around the main sole comes open easily and stones start to get stuck inside. Not much grip walking in mud.

The Good: grippy as hell, look good, comfortable

The Bad: uh, the cali license plate on the back peels
and the sole where stitching is supposed to be, peels off of the shoe, but it's no biggie
the grip starts to wear, but it's still really grippy
and they're pretty expensive for shoes. but you get what you pay for

The Good: Is light and the sole is very grippy at the beginning, it has protected me from direct hits at the toes, you can walk and push if needed and they look good.

The Bad: after a year of use, the outer sole hast start to come off and has become a bit stiff (they are confortable and you can still walk, but they dont grip as before)

Edit | Delete

The Good: Grips well, fairly durable, and much more protection that regular trainers

The Bad: A bit bulky, seams get split and rubber wears down. Maybe a little expensive
