Product Information
Full details
The Five Ten Freerider MTB Flat Shoes are a versatile footwear solution for mountain bikers who prioritize pedal control and everyday comfort. Designed for all-day performance on the trail and casual use afterward, these shoes feature the renowned Stealth S1 rubber outsole for exceptional grip. While they offer excellent durability and traction, they are specifically optimized for flat pedals, meaning they lack the cleat compatibility required for clipless pedal systems.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather and mesh upper offers some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to breathe well, which means water can eventually penetrate the material.
Can I use these for road cycling?
While you can ride a bike with them, they are specifically designed for mountain bike flat pedals. They will not provide the efficiency of a stiff-soled, clipless road cycling shoe.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap for light cleaning. Avoid soaking the shoes and let them air dry completely before your next ride.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
No, these are standard unisex sizing. The leather material will stretch slightly over time to accommodate different foot shapes.
Is the sole replaceable?
No, the Stealth S1 outsole is permanently bonded to the shoe and cannot be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping off the pedal
Check your pedal pins for wear or debris. If the pins are flat, replace them to ensure they lock into the rubber outsole effectively.
Shoes feel too stiff or tight
The leather upper will require a short break-in period. Wear them casually for a few days to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed strictly for flat pedals; do not attempt to modify the outsole for cleat installation as this will damage the structural integrity of the sole. To ensure a long lifespan, it is recommended to clean the shoes after muddy rides using a soft-bristled brush and mild soap. Allow the leather to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or the adhesives to weaken over time. Periodically check the outsole for embedded rocks or debris that might interfere with pedal pin engagement.
