Freerider Contact Cycling Shoe

If the Freerider Contact Shoes look and feel like an old friend, that's because Five Ten based its design on an updated version of the VXi chassis. The big change from VXi to Contact is the addition of toe protection in the latter the equivalent of ensconcing your little piggies in a brick house instead of just the synthetic leather of the VXi. With this additional armor, the Contact's capabilities encompass a bit more of the DH spectrum while also improving the outcomes of mishandled landings.


The sole's flat metatarsal section of Stealth Rubber carries over from the VXi to the Contact, giving you secure grip on flat pedals that still allows you to freely reposition your feet similar to road pedals with a high degree of float. The durable, synthetic uppers and mesh ventilation also return, making for shoes that rock the park, cruise the DH circuit, and clean lines across all manner of all-mountain riding.

Not comvortable

The material seemed stiff and dug into my ankle and Achilles tendon when I walked around the living room. Also, ran a little small. So I sent them back. I use 5.10 FreeRiders and I really like them. I thought these would be more like the freeriders with a little more protection from rocks. I was wrong.

I bought these for street/trials riding on a 24" Danny MacAskill-style bike. These seem to be a close match to his own shoe, and I normally wear 5.10 climbing shoes... so they seemed like a no-brainer. If you're buying these for downhill or enduro maybe they're great- but I can't imagine wearing them for any length of time, for any activity. The Freerider feels terrible- super stiff, flat, dead. My carbon sole Sidi cross country mtn bike shoes somehow feel more supple. I get no feeling out of my pedals (Crank Brothers Stamp) and despite the climbing shoe rubber, the partially treadless sole doesn't really stick to the pedals all that well. They almost create the sensation that your feet are numb. I'll be going back to wearing my Evolv Cruzer Psyche Approach Shoe (which is strange bc I hate Evolv climbing shoes) for street/trials riding- which feel comfy and totally planted to the pedal. The Evolv's are not a bike shoe and their sole's do tend to get eaten up faster by the pedals- but even at full price they're half the cost of the Freerider (they're $59 now, amazing). Not for nothing, the Evolv's look great- I have a second pair just for the office. So if you want skate shoe sensitivity but climbing shoe stickyness, not to mention a good looking and versatile monochrome look, go with the Evolv or another approach shoe.
