Lol
Interesting. Didn't know I needed these!
This should be the slogan of this website
Why would i get the non-pro for a $7.10 discount?
They look better, sort of
They're also a bit lighter and the sole is a little less grippy, which means they're a little harder wearing if you plan to use them as ordinary shoes.
I know what you mean. Destroyed my riding shoes this way one time.
Good justification
Fair observation
You can sign up to their newsletter to make it $17.10 discount too I suspect.
Just to get Pushy newletters every other day?
Just unsubscribe
Anyone know if they're true to size?
Not sure if the fit is the same, but I have the Trailcross XTs and went half a size smaller than normal based on reviews (normally wear a US 9.5/Euro 43, bought a US 9/Euro 42 2/3). I prefer a snug fit and even in the smaller size still have plenty of room in the toe.
A few of the reviews also mention them being on the bigger side (https://www.adidas.com.au/five-ten-freerider-pro-mountain-bi…)
FYI there's also a few reviews that mention the soles wearing pretty quickly.
What about compared to Fiveten Sleuth DLX? Would it be similar size?
The soles wearing quickly is an unfortunate side-effect of the Stealth compound, the rubber is very soft for maximum grip, but naturally that results in much less longevity especially if you plan on walking in them as everyday shoes.
Just got mine. I do think they are true to size if you don't have super wide feet
They are a bit stiff right now but should feel the same as my Adidas size 11 skate/street shoes once broken in.
I'm a 11.5 in Nike's and usually get a 2E where I can.
Are you saying these are ok (width-wise) for someone who is normally a 2E?
Adidas in general are more friendly for wide feet. I usually wear 2E sizes for New Balance and Shimano and enjoyed my velcro Stan Smith and Five Ten Sleuth DLX with no issues.
As a reference, i usually wear size US10 but for FiveTen, US10 is equal to EU44 whereas i usually wear EU43 so I ended up getting UK9/US9.5 which is equal to 43 1/3.
But as mentioned above, should require the shoes to be broken in.
@meong: Depends on the show style I think. I’ve never had luck with Adidas shoes - too narrow for my feet, which are perfectly happy in asics and Mizuno
yeah they seem fine compared to my size11 Nike street shoes.
I'd stay TTS for these
Cheers thanks for the insights. Decided to go for my regular sizing.
I've got the old freeriders and they were true to size - these new addidas ones seem to only have half a size between us and uk and the foot length measurement is 1cm shorter now.
I've just got my pair and as compared to my Freerider Contacts from 2018. Size US12 now is equivalent in length with US11.5 from 2018, = JP 300cm in length.
Better bunnyhops ;)
You joke, but this is literally true. The better the pedals stick to your feet, the more height you can get when you do bunny hops.
Try them both on and then come back let us know :-)
For me? Whenever I've worn a pair of $20 runners the tread has been so bad I've slipped whenever it was even a tiny bit wet or slick anywhere so moving at more than a snails pace is out of the question (I'm also naturally clumsy). Also the sole tends to snap in the middle after about a month versus at least a year or more. I think I got at least 3 years out of my last Nikes, (which I got on clearance fyi) so I got the new version of the same shoe which is now on year 2 and going pretty strong, aside from looking a bit crap because they are white and what I primarily wear for walking etc. So… Probably going to spend $100 on a pair of those every 2-3 years instead of $20 every 2 months on uncomfortable rubbish that tear my heels up and trip me up and fall apart.
I get 2+ years out of Kmart $20 pairs.
I just buy those $5 removable gel insoles to go with em.
$25 every 2 years is the way to go.
@bobzor which insoles do you get? Just curious what's recommended :)
They have a shank in the sole that makes them very stiff, for when you're standing on a pedal. The compound the sole is made of is super grippy, which enables them to "stick" to a flat pedal much better than other shoes. They also have a second layer of upper on the outside of the foot to protect against rock scrapes. If you don't ride mountain bikes, I don't expect you to care about any of this. If you do, then you probably would care.
How protective is it?
Hehe non pro
Black ones are $132 but only in size US10

Usually mountain bike shoes are very stiff soles to prevent your foot bending on impact. They’re not good for casual wear.
I've worn my Five Ten Sleuth DLX as casual shoes and even at some point wore it for a day hike…
TIL there are MTB shoes.
Such as skate shoes… Basically casual/flat shoes with harder soles to efficiently transfer your power to the pedals (or skate boards?).
The expensive MTB ones come with protection against rocks, water resistance and even extra grip such as when I'm too fat to ride up the hill and have to push my bike through mud etc…
A lot of people ride push bikes wearing their runners but in reality its going to make you feel tired as runners tend to be too soft for running and not efficient for pedalling. In general its better to ride your bike with casual shoes that have harder soles such as Converse, etc. My commuting shoes back then were an old pair of Onitsuka 66.
so true. i started riding with kayano 25s (they were starting to wear down) and while wet weather grip on the pedals was good, i had to start wearing the more uncomfortable air max 200.
Try riding with a fully-flat sole, you won't regret it. You won't have to deal with your pins in the deep grip of runners forcing your foot into a weird position, there's no arch reducing contact with your pedal, and the stiffened sole of mtb shoes means you can comfortably use the whole length of the shoe, instead of just the ball of your foot.
Five-Ten are well known for their rubber sole compound, which is unbelievably grippy when paired with flat pedals. They're considered the gold standard for mtb shoes
Old ten tennies (pre-adidas) shoes were great super comfy, casual wear one set daily.
Under new ownership quality has reportedly dropped. The people from old company started new shoe company called unparallelsports.
Depends on who you talk to. Some people think they are the same, some people hate them now. I think some of that kinda has to do with brand loyalty - in both directions. MTB riders are kinda notoriously resistant to change or new brands, so Five-Ten being bought by Adidas was seen as a "betrayal," and that viewpoint can colour a lot of people's reviews. Personally, I've used pre Adidas and post Adidas, and I haven't really noticed a significant difference in quality. The Stealth rubber is as good as ever, and I've yet to have either shoe fall apart on me or wear at an unexpected rate.
I haven't had to replace my 5.10 mtb shoes since Adidas took over (cause I'm a bum that doesn't get on the bike anymore…) but their climbing range absolutely changed, and definitely not for the better for me. I'd been happily wearing 5.10 for my last 3 pairs of shoes and when I tried the updated version the last had changed so much they were unrecognisable.
Can't speak to build quality as I didn't buy them (although I know there's plenty of complaints on that front too) but the shoes have 100% changed.I guess maybe they'll fit some people better?

I'm missing something here … MTB shoes that have flex and aren't clipless for $219?
So these are for skateboarders on bikes doing tricks? Genuine questionClipless or not is still a religious debate in MTB world even amongst the pros. Heck I don't even ride MTB these days after a recent injury and just ride gravel bike but i still prefer my Five Ten flats over my Shimano SPD on technical terrains. I haven't put my SPD pedals back on the gravel bike for a while now.
It's in the name: 'Freerider'
These shoes are designed for dirt jumpers and slopestyle riders, who regularly take their feet off the pedals for tricks. It's also why they have a little less ankle support than other Five-Ten shoes, to allow for maximum movement.
Shimano used to make a non-clipless version of their DX shoe 20 years ago, they're nothing new.
This is an unbelievably good deal, and they actually have them to fit my ridiculous size 13 feet. Good catch OP
Actually very rare to even find more than 2 sizes left for a Pushys deal 😂
Honestly, I tend to ignore shoe sales from anywhere, because they inevitably all top out at like size 11 or 12 uk
I’ve owned two pairs of freeride pros. Great shoes. Can wear them casually, you get used to the stiffer soles.
stiffer soles ? No thanks
I bought a pair of these at full price in red/black, then there was a half price sale on this colourway black/blue/red/white and I immediately bought a second pair for $110.
They are so good I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy a third pair at this price…I wear these when riding trials, trails and just out and about. Can definitely recommend.
Size is spot on, measure your foot and check the sizing chart.Are these good for everyday shoes?
Not really, they are super stiff in the sole.
ultraboosts for everyday
Thanks OP! Don't need them quite yet as mine have life left in them, but the price is too good to pass. :)
$12.90 for shipping.. how did you get it free for the $99 shoes?
When I add to cart I get
"Estimated Total $99.00"
"Australian Regular $0.00"
"Express Post $22.00"Choose regular… Its free shipping for me…
I meant to address Hudcon who is seeing $12.90 for some reason.
Maybe hudcon clicked on the non-pro link?
OK to buy if I don't ride MTB?
No, won't recommend. Sole too stiff for everyday use.
Thanks grabed a pair
Thanks OP picked some up to try, guess they are on sale since the colour is meh.
$139.99?
They were $99 when this was posted, I know coz I grabbed 1.
back on sale today but not as good
Waiting for the pro max version
