FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, the Freerider is specifically designed for flat pedals only.
How do I determine my size?
The Five Ten Freerider generally runs true to standard UK athletic sizing. If you prefer to wear thick wool riding socks, consider a half-size larger.
Can I use these for other sports?
While optimized for cycling, their high-friction grip makes them suitable for hiking and casual daily activities.
How do I care for the leather upper?
Keep them clean of excessive mud and treat them periodically with a leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are made of leather and provide protection from light splashes, but they are not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on pedals over time
Clean the debris and mud from the Dotty tread pattern using a stiff-bristled brush.
Foot fatigue during long rides
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the bridge of the foot to provide adequate arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are compatible with all standard flat mountain bike pedals. No cleat installation or mounting hardware is required. To maintain the life of the leather and the integrity of the Stealth S1 rubber, avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can degrade the adhesive bonds. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. If the shoes become soaked during a ride, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
