Full details

The Five Ten Freerider DLX is designed for mountain bike enthusiasts who demand high-performance pedal contact paired with everyday casual aesthetics. Featuring a robust leather upper and the industry-leading Stealth S1 rubber outsole, these shoes excel at providing unwavering grip on flat pedals across various trail conditions. While they offer exceptional durability and comfort, users should note that the leather construction requires more thorough drying time compared to synthetic mesh alternatives if soaked during wet weather rides.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather upper is water-resistant, but they are not fully waterproof. They will hold up well against splashes, but prolonged submersion will result in water ingress.

Can I use these for road cycling?

While you can technically pedal in them, they are specifically optimized for flat mountain bike pedals and may feel less efficient than dedicated road cycling shoes.

How do I determine my size?

Five Ten sizes generally align with standard UK/EU trainer sizing. If you prefer to wear thicker cycling socks, consider that the leather has less 'stretch' than knit uppers.

Are these suitable for winter riding?

Yes, the leather upper offers better wind protection than mesh shoes, making them a great choice for cool, dry autumn and winter conditions.

How do I clean the white markings?

Use a soft brush and mild soap with lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the leather.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff initially

The leather upper requires a short 'break-in' period; wear them for a few hours of walking to allow the material to soften to your foot shape.

Loss of grip on pedals

Clean the soles to remove mud or debris, and check if your pedal pins are worn down or missing, as they need to penetrate the rubber slightly.

Persistent dampness inside

Avoid placing them in a clothes dryer; instead, remove the inner footbed to promote airflow and speed up the drying process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Industry-leading grip on flat pedals
  • Stylish, casual look for off-bike versatility
  • Highly durable leather construction
  • Excellent power transfer and foot stability
  • Suitable for a wide range of trail conditions

Cons

  • Leather takes longer to dry when fully saturated

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are designed for use exclusively with flat mountain bike pedals. No cleat installation is required.

Compatibility: They are compatible with all standard flat mountain bike pedals. Ensure your pedals have adequate pins to engage with the Dotty tread pattern.

Care:

  1. Remove heavy dirt after each ride with a soft brush.
  2. If the leather becomes wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper and air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
  3. Periodically apply a leather conditioner if the material appears to be drying out to maintain suppleness.
