Freerider Cycling Shoe

Known for its rock climbing shoes, Five Ten made the Freerider Shoes with the same grippy tech to create a shoe that is ideal for platform pedals. Stealth Rubber is not only grippy, it is also durable, designed to withstand the demands of long hours adhering to granite rock. This means that it won’t blink at the prodding of your metal pedal spikes, and it will outlast even the most expensive gum rubber soled shoes. The uppers are constructed of brushed nubuck leather and breathable mesh to keep your feet cool and comfortable.

  • Mountain biking shoes designed with tough grip and versatile comfort
  • Nubuck leather uppers with reinforced toe box last through seasons
  • Stealth Rubber soles grip pedal spikes and slick surfaces alike

I love these so much that I'm buying my second pair after wearing out the first pair. I've been riding these for 3-4 years now and the rubber on the sole is finally getting chewed up from the sharp spikes on my Spanky pedals. Very grippy and comfortable!

Am I clipped in? You surely would think so when you ride with these! Budget-friendly shoes with all the benefits of higher-end ones. Super comfortable mtb shoes with tons of grip to give you confidence in those rock garden sections.

After wearing a pair of Ride Concepts for about a year I decided to try some 5-10s and ordered these. They are much more comfortable to ride and walk in, more flex in a good way, and the Stealth sole provides excellent grip. I find they run ~1/2 size big, as do other Adidas shoes that I have, others feel they are true to size, so your mileage may vary. I wear a 10.5 in some brands but a 10 in these fits me perfect. Overall a great shoe!

Reading all the reviews all was a little disappointed when they arrived. Thought to myself how on earth can they be more tacky than my Van's. Rode with them and all I can say is WOW they are amazing, on climbs I would normally be more cautious with my Van's these seemed to almost let me power up more!

I purchased size 9.5 because majority of the reviews suggest it fits true to size. I ordered outside of the US. The right shoe fits well but the left shoe was a slightly uncomfortable just at the tip of my toe. I had to get the left shoe stretched a bit for that comfortable feeling. This is my first pair of flat pedal shoes that I’ve been using for just over a month now for trail riding and I absolutely love them! Very grippy and comfortable to walk in. I highly recommend. The shoe lace is a bit long but definitely not a deal breaker.

I have the same problem. How did you stretch your shoe?

This is my first pair of flat pedal shoes, and I really like these. They are very grippy, and I haven't had any problems with sliding off the pedal. Highly recommend!

Great Shoes for Flats

Can't say I've tried too many other flat pedal shoes, but I really like these. They are very grippy, and I haven't had any problems with sliding off the pedal. The toe area is nicely padded, which came in handy on a few pedal strikes. I find it helpful to tuck the laces underneath themselves when riding to avoid getting caught in the chainring.

always been good

I've bought several pair of five tens for family members using flats and always been great. The freerider is probably our favorite, they hold up well, and grip well, would recommend.

My Shimano GR7 were pretty much decent at best. The grip was ok but not stuck to the platform how my old FiveTen Impact were. I wanted something with the grip of the Impact but the fit and feel of the GR7. Enter the skate shoe with climbing rubber that is the Freerider. Couldn't be happier. Grip amazingly well and fit as they should. Only complaint is the lack of a lace securing system.

I’m very happy with the shoes. They grip Shimano Saint flat pedals great. I had to send my first pair back and go up a 1/2 size.

Good Flat Shoe

Replace old vans that I was using as my bike shoe with these. They are much sturdier and stuffed which I can notice when pedaling hard. Worth it if you bike a decent amount.

The best.

I purchased these based on the reviews. The reviews made the shoes sound great. I've worn them for several workouts and to be blunt, they hurt my feet. After about 6 or 7 miles the balls of my feet and my toes start tingling. By the time I've finished 14 miles the balls of my feet are almost numb. The reviews made them sound so good I though maybe they just needed to be broken in. Some of the reviews talk about how comfy they are. Mine feel like I'm walking on a board. There doesn't seem to be any cushion in them at all. I was hoping they would have some cushion so I could wear them even when I wasn't biking like mentioned in some of the reviews. Maybe I need a half size larger but they seem to fit correctly. Whatever the cause I'll try and return mine, if for no other reason than they don't seem to have any cushion in them at all.

These aren't workout shoes.

Amazing Shoes for MTB

Super sticky on a flat/platform pedal. It is startling how grippy they are. Using with Crank Brothers Stamp 2 and proving to be the perfect setup for me.

These guys know how to make a mtb shoe!

Very impressed with the quality construction, reinforced seams, extremely sticky sole and overall comfort and support. Did I leave anything out? These shoes are just awesome! They're a little overbuilt for everyday wear (feels like a skate shoe on steroids) but I like them so much I usually end up wearing them for a lot more than just riding.

Love these shoes!!

Wasn’t a believer of these 510 Freerider MTB shoes!! Fits True to Size! So comfortable and Sticks to the pedals like your wearing actual cleats! Best investment I’ve purchased for MTB shoes!

Nice Shoe

Great shoe to wear all over even if you are not on the bike. if used everyday the sole will wear out quick but other than than its a wonderful shoe. oh yeah it grips the pedals awesome.

Use this with Deity Bladerunners and the grip is amazing!!! The sole is very stiff and even when only one section of the shoe is touching another section of the pedal, it feels as if you were on solid ground. Plus the sole is very grippy without dragging, really helped today when having to climb some boulders. Also ordered some for my friend, they’re so comfortable he wears them to work!!! One Year update: We go out to the hills 2 or 3 times a week, occasionally I give em a few pats to dust them off and they still look new. I hike a lot in them and no signs of wear. They are still my favorite shoes and the ones I wear most often, even to go to the store.

Super comfy

Familiarity:

Love these shoes! They are super comfortable and super durable. I use these shoes for both enduro/singletrack riding and also downhill and they are perfect for both, they have just the right amount of padding that downhill I feel protected and when peddling singletrack there not hot at all. Size wise they fit me a bit big but I’m always in between a 8.5 and 9.0 ( I ordered a 9) I probably will get a 8.5 when I get my next pair! Overall great shoe highly recommend them !

Great shoe

Super sticky. Holds the pedals great and secure. Runs a little large. Normally wear a 10/10.5 and the size 10 I got were a little big but nothing to return them over.

What about people that have a size 13 shoe? I never see 13. 12 is always the biggest shoe in these shoes

Do these shoes work well for everyday use other than biking?

Yes I use them for both training on pavement and dirt trails. They are better quality tan any shoe I have purchased for the money.

will these work with platform pedals that don't have pins in them?

Hi AM, They will work fine with pedals without pins. You will get more grip with the shoe and pedal if the pedals aren't a smooth surface though. Feel free to give us a call at 888-276-7130 if you have further questions!

Hi. Just wondering is the men's size 5.5 equal to euro size 37.5? From size chart not showing men's shoes have sizes smaller than us6. Thanks

Hi Frank, Yes, a US men's 5.5 will be equal to a Euro 37.5.

Are these stiffer than Spitfires? I love...

Are these stiffer than Spitfires? I love Spitfires but they are too soft for efficient pedaling. I've tried the Freerider VXi - nice stiffness - but I don't like the flat sole design.

Hi, I asked ChainReatcionCycles about...

Hi, I asked ChainReatcionCycles about sizes and they gave me this chart http://www.shoesizechart.us/B/Five-Ten , then i went to your website and found size chart too, but I noticed that it is not the same sizes. Which chart is right? My foot length is 26.3 cm. which size will fit for me?

do they fit true to size? My Five Ten...

do they fit true to size? My Five Ten Minaars are 10.5 but all other shoes are 11.

Besides being a little roomy in the toes they are otherwise true to size.

Stupid question, but how do you lace these...

Stupid question, but how do you lace these shoes? I haven't been able to ride clipless since my knee surgery and have been just getting by in a pair of Salomon quick pull lacing sytem running shoes (which tucks safely out of the way). How do people lace these up so they don't get caught on anything - I'm assuming you just don't tie them in a bow?

Hey there Lorp, there are no dumb questions : ) Myself and my buddies don't usually worry about the laces when DH riding. I've never caught mine on anything anyway... If you were worried, you could definitely tuck them out of the way underneath the beefy tongue of this shoe. This shoe also has removable insoles, which we didn't mention above. This is pretty sweet if you ever need to battle the hot summer foot funk! Happy trails!

I laced mine with "yankz" the elastic laces sold here on bc. Makes a perfect pair...

Will you be carrying the new Freerider...

Will you be carrying the new Freerider VXi. Thanks
