    Comments about Five Ten BA51C Bike Shoes - Men's:

    I love this shoe. Not only is it nice to look at but it performs extremely well. I use it as a multifunctional street shoe, approach shoe, and climbing shoe. The non-marking sole is great for wearing into buildings or homes after cycling or walking around the city but the rubber is still super sticky so I can hop between boulders while exploring for new climbing or approaching a big rock wall.

      Comments about Five Ten BA51C Bike Shoes - Men's:

      These shoes look good and work even better. With the Steath® Rubber taking care of traction, they hook up great on the pedals and have a great feel due to a slightly thinner sole. At the same time, a low profile and great fit means that they are also down for a night out with your friends. I got these shoes right before my prom (I think they arrived the day of!), so they were my added bit of flare for the evening that got a lot of compliments. This pare of shoes, in my eyes, would be optimal for someone who likes style and functionality all at the same time. If you ride a lot (to class, work-bike messegers: this is your shoes!) or just want some shoes that can pull double duty, then the BA51C shoes are your go-to kicks.
