Five Ten  Freerider Pro BOA Mountain Bike Shoes - Women's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are incredibly comfortable! As someone who deals with bunions on both feet, I'm thrilled to have found a pair that works for me. The adjustability is excellent – I can customize the fit to accommodate my feet without any pinching or pressure. Beyond comfort, they perform beautifully on the trail. The grip on the pedals is outstanding – my feet stay planted exactly where I need them, even on technical descents. After several hours on the trails, my feet feel great. I'd highly recommend these to anyone struggling with bunions who needs mountain bike shoes that don't sacrifice comfort for performance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The BOA closure keeps them snug and debris out, and not having lace loops gives me peace of mind. The sole grips pedals really well. They stay dry after 4–5 hours of riding with occasional puddle splashes. (In case you’re wondering, I also use pants with boot hooks at the cuffs on the BOA wire to keep splashes out—it works great.) My feet are 24.3 cm long and 98 mm wide—women’s size 7.5 fits perfectly.

These are my go-to cycling shoes now. However, as other reviewers likely mentioned, they run large. I had been wearing a size 9 and thought they kind of looked like clodhoppers and then when I got a different bike I started having lots of issues with toe overlap. I tried on an 8.5 -- much better fit (though it still didn't solve my issue and I got a different bike). For a while I went to a different flat Boa shoe (the Shimano ET701) because I preferred the appearance, but the Five Ten Freerider Pros offer superb grip with my preferred pedals and I (mostly, unless I'm just riding with everyday shoes) always use Boa closures now for ease of adjustment but more so because I've unfortunately witnessed people in a group I was in get their laces caught up in their drivetrain and learned from vicarious experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great looking shoe. Sizes small. I am a 10.5 in every other FiveTen shoe for the last 12 years, but this one is definitely not a 10.5. Will exchange for an 11.

This is a nicely made shoe with a nice firm last. I like the BOA lacing. The shoe was a bit wide in the heel, and my foot moved a bit up and down as I cycled (and walked). There was no option for a narrow width.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wearing Five Ten Freerider Pros for several years, but once Adidas took over I began noticing small declines in quality starting with fit, just a little wider (I have a narrow foot) but the company told me there had been no changes. When I received my last laced version I noticed the laces were very thin and just poorer quality, when prior they had been excellent quality and thick, long lasting. So when it was time for another pair I thought before totally leaving Five Ten I'd try the BOA system. Having a narrow foot I have to ratchet them all the way, which is fine but I noticed the sole inserts seem thinner, cheaper. This will probably be my last pair unless something changes. I was also looking at Ride Concepts and they look and feel great but they are so expensive.

The shoe seems nice, and I love the BOA, but it runs large. I ordered my regular size, 8.5, but it was huge. I returned it and need to reorder either a size 7.5 or 8, but I'm not sure which to go with as I never wear a 7.5.

Solid MTB shoes - nice and grippy sole and the boa closure eliminates my worry about loose laces getting caught in my cranks. Comfortable across a range of temperatures as well.

I road bike but don't clip in. Been wearing 5-10 tie ups but didn't like worrying about a lace coming loose and did not like the look with road bike clothes. Finally, a shoe with the grip and no ties and which fit my feet nicely. Biked a metric century with them and my feet were happy. Bought a second pair.

By far, the best mountain biking shoe for free riding or trail riding very comfortable very durable. My last pair lasted me six years and after six years of taking care of them, they finally developed holes in the soles, but technically I could still wear them just fine. Decided it was time to upgrade.
