FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, the Five Ten Freerider is specifically engineered for flat pedals and does not have the mounting points for cleats.
Can these be worn for casual walking?
Yes, their design and cushioning make them comfortable for walking and casual daily wear.
How do I ensure I order the right size?
These follow standard UK adult sizing. If you prefer a thicker sock for winter riding, consider checking if you need a half-size increase.
How long does the Stealth S1 rubber last?
Longevity depends on the type of pedals used and riding frequency. Pins that are too sharp may accelerate wear on the rubber over time.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the leather material. Always clean by hand.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping on pedals
Check your pedal pins for wear or debris. Clean the shoe outsole to ensure the Dotty tread pattern is free from mud.
Stiff feel during first few rides
This is normal due to the leather upper construction. The material will soften and conform to your foot shape with regular use.
Accumulation of moisture inside
Remove the insole and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture overnight. Do not use high-heat dryers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove excess mud after rides using a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
- Drying: Air dry only. Avoid placing leather footwear near direct heat sources like heaters or radiators, as this can cause the material to crack or deform.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the rubber compound integrity.
