Five Ten Sleuth DLX Mountain Bike Shoes Men's

Product Information

I bought it because I already had the same model in another color and I liked the sole that grips well. The cleat box is much bigger than the old Maltese Falcon, allowing more greater pedal compatibility as cleat positioning. While walking up and down trails, and on rocks in particular, the Trailcross LT is comfortable and very grippy. Particularly, the Sleuth’s small dots on its tread have many small chunks missing from them, though the height / thickness of the dots hasn’t worn down. Please include a covering letter describing the fault and if you would like the item replacing or refunding.

That nice soft and plush feel felt great at first, but turned out to be a bit fatiguing on harder rides. So let’s dispense with any ambiguity upfront — the Five Ten Freerider Contact is extremely adept at keeping your foot on the pedals. As you'd likely expect, the Sleuth provides a so-so level of rigidity and transfer of power to the pedals with its less technical nature.That said, if you don’t care as much about breathability and off-bike performance and instead prioritize protection, bike control, and / or sole stiffness, you’d likely be better off with a more “traditional” flat-pedal shoe like the Freerider Contact or Ride Concepts Powerline.

Update NRW has just sent us this revised version of their original statement: We know our visitor centres are a much-loved resource among locals and visitors from further afield and.The Freerider Contact / Vault combination of shoe and pedal has been my go-to for a while now (and easily my favorite that I’ve ever tried), and I’m relatively loath to test anything that takes me away from that combo. Their Powerline is a mid-height, flat-pedal shoe that features a unique construction compared to shoes from most other brands, as well as Ride Concepts’s stickiest rubber, “Rubber Kinetics DST 4. The Shift’s laces only cover a small portion of the shoe, and it was hard for me to dial in a very snug fit. Most clipped in riders will be fine with the regular Hellcat but pros and racers looking for all the margincal gains they can get, the Hellcat Pros will see you very well.

And the Shift’s thin upper, wide ankle opening, and lack of a substantial toe bumper make it the least protective shoe I reviewed.That said, looking at the sole and top-down view, I think it’s safe to assume that the Powerline is narrower through the midfoot and forefoot vs. This is in huge contrast to the Five Ten Freerider Contact, which is almost a safety liability when walking on trail, particularly on anything loose or slippery. Non-marking Stealth Marathon rubber and our Dotty tread provide proven pedal control and long-lasting durability. Our name and mission are inspired by those weekly newspapers that tell the story of community, inspiration and, most importantly, inclusion.
