Full details
The Five Ten Freerider MTB Flat Shoes are high-performance cycling shoes designed for mountain bikers who prioritize grip, stability, and everyday versatility. These shoes feature the legendary Stealth S1 rubber outsole, ensuring maximum pedal contact and security in both wet and dry conditions; however, their rugged construction means they are heavier than traditional lightweight running trainers, which may be a consideration for riders seeking a minimal profile.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, these are flat-sole shoes specifically engineered for flat MTB pedals.
Can I use these for hiking?
While they are comfortable enough for short walks, they are designed primarily for cycling and may not offer the same traction as dedicated hiking boots on loose terrain.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather or using harsh chemicals.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but the padded construction may feel slightly snug initially.
What does the Stealth S1 rubber offer?
It provides a balance of high friction and durability, designed to absorb shock and provide consistent grip.
Troubleshooting
Reduced pedal grip over time
Clean the outsole with a soft brush and water to remove dirt or dried mud buildup.
Shoes feel tight after a long ride
Loosen the laces to relieve pressure; the leather upper will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed for use with flat mountain bike pedals. Because they are not clipless, there is no hardware to install; simply ensure your flat pedals have adequate pins to interface with the Dotty tread pattern. For maintenance, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap to remove trail debris. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as high heat can damage the rubber compound and leather integrity. Air dry in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
