ORDER ONE SIZE LESS, I ORDERED 7,5 and they were 8,5 in real life, with specific MODEL THIS HAPPENS. They are great shoes but you should be careful with the size UNTIL ORDERED 6,5 US MEN they were my correct size
After exchanging this shoe 3x before finding the correct size (normally size US 8, went down to size 7), finally got to ride with my new kicks. Good: lightweight, comfortable, nice arch and contours to the foot. Bad: the fabric that makes these lightweight is across touch of the shoe. On my second ride my foot brushed up against rock and left an abrasion. Would have thought the material would have been more resilient. Won’t buy again, and guessing these will not last the summer season.
When 5Ten got bought out by adidas they must have changed the last of their shoes. After a foot injury I needed to go up a 1/2 size to accomadate my orthotics so I thought it would be doable. Well, after returning shoes 2 times, I ended up with a 1/2 size smaller. The toe box is also narrower on this shoe compared to other models. I like the breathability and lightweightness of this shoe but prefered the boxier toe of my older model. I imagine riding in tight rocky terrain, however that the upper of this shoe would not hold up like the durable heavy weight canvas of my previous model.
Size 8. Fits good. Normally 8.5/8. I have a narrow foot and moderately high arch. The idea of the shoe is great. A light weight "running style" bike shoe. Somewhat stiff sole where I don't feel the pegs on my flats. But not stiff for downhill flow or tech trails. Always like the Stealth rubber compound. Excels as a hiking style "bike" shoe with ventilation and side cutouts under the ball of the foot. Would be amazing if there was actual ankle support. Feels extremely free around the ankle. I like the slightly higher neoprene sleeve, but wish it was actually supportive and had the D30 around the ankle with the same cut. Would like to see a velcro strap over ankle in either this shoe or the Trail Cross Mid Pro.
The Five Ten offered good fit and function, and very good durability. There's enough protection on the front and the back has even more so. Agree on going up half a size.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rough at the ankles maybe I should try different socks thin soled so you can feel ground slip resistant for sure not good for unrested feet so rest first
These shoes are lightweight but do not allow the pedal edges to penetrate through the sole.
I said it all, they are awesome MTB shoes. Comfortable and sweet looking too.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable, cool colour.The size is true. Thanks!
I ordered my usual size and I returned these once for the next half size down. I think I actually should have gone down the entire size but since I ordered online, just decided to keep them. Overall nice flexible grippy soles that I was looking for in a mtb shoe. There is a little more sole on the front and back extending past my foot than I expected and when placed next to my old shoes, a full inch longer. I wanted something I could also do a bit of hiking in as well so fits the bill. I've only with them a few times so far but feel comfortable and breathable.
