FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, these are flat-pedal specific shoes and do not feature mounting holes for cleats.
Can I wash these in a machine?
It is recommended to hand-clean with a damp cloth or soft brush to protect the leather and rubber integrity; machine washing may cause damage.
Are they waterproof?
While the leather upper offers some resistance, they are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though some riders prefer a slightly snug fit for better pedal feedback.
What is the primary benefit of the Dotty tread?
The circular Dotty pattern allows pedal pins to bite into the rubber, creating a secure, locked-in interface between the shoe and the pedal.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on pedals
Clean the bottom of the shoe with a brush to remove dried mud and debris that may be obstructing the rubber-to-pin contact.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Remove the insole to accelerate airflow and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb residual dampness from the lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Five Ten Freerider is exclusively designed for use with flat mountain bike pedals. To ensure longevity, keep the shoes clean by removing dried mud with a soft brush after each ride. If the interior becomes damp, remove the insoles and air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, which can compromise the leather and the rubber compounds. For deep cleaning, use mild soap and cold water, ensuring the shoes are completely air-dried before your next ride.
