A full-length plate made in part with repurposed materials and reinforced with glass fibre provides excellent power transfer with added pedal stability. Engineered for the most demanding rides, the Kestrel BOA is the shoe of choice for the modern rider. Clip-In Technology: A recessed cleat design that connects your shoe to the pedal for improved efficiency and power transfer. BOA Fit System: Achieve a personalized, comfortable fit for every ride with infinite on-the-fly adjustability. Repurposed Materials: The full-length plate is made in part from repurposed materials and an upper is partially crafted with non virgin polyesters to help #endplasticwaste. The Kestrel is the stiffest shoe that Five Ten makes. It's built for aggressive trail and cross-country riding with super-efficient pedalling. The BOA Fit System is quick and easy to tighten and even quicker to pop open and take the shoe off. A minimal XC-style tread pattern saves weight while providing plenty of traction but there's a handy patch of rubber behind the cleat recess for pedal grip when riding unclipped. If you want to direct every ounce of power you produce into uphill progress and have a comfy secure shoe for bone-shaking descents, the Kestrel BOA should be your go-to bike shoe.
