adidas Five Ten Freerider Flat MTB Shoes

Five Ten is an OG mountain biking and climbing shoe brand with a skate shoe vibe. Five Ten was acquired by adidas back in 2011 but has always remained true to its roots.  

At Bikes By Outside Sports we have Five Ten Freerider MTB flat shoe for men and women in stock now. The Freerider is a classic Five Ten styke that combines the feel of a casual skate shoe with the grip and stability you need for serious trail riding. There’s nothing fancy here, just a great looking, highly versatile and all-day comfortable shoe for anyone who prefers the freedom of flat pedals. 

The upper is made of a combination of tough suede and recycled content, with seamless overlays that gives you a good balance between comfort, support, and durability. The molded cup sole provides a stable platform that helps the shoe retain its shape when you’re sending it on trail or downhill at local favourites like Bike Glendhu and The Skyline. 

The outsole features Five Ten’s Stealth S1 Dotty rubber tread pattern. The soft rubber dotsbind with the pins on your pedals to create an outstandinglysecure connection between the shoe and the pedal. You really can feel the difference the dotty rubber tread makes. However, it's worth noting as an FYI that because the Stealth S1 rubber is soft, lots of walking will naturally cause faster wear. 

Having awesome grip levels also contributes to stability. The supportive insole helps your foot feel planted on the pedal, giving you more confidence when cornering, descending or riding technical sections where maintaining consistent foot position is important. 

We think that you’ll enjoy the Freerider if you’re a flat pedal afficionado who wants grip, stability, and versatility in an MTB shoe with a casual sneaker look.

You can buy the new Five Ten Freeride shoes at Bikes By Outside Sports in Wanaka and Queenstown or online now. We have mens and womens versions in a full range of popular sizes.

We also have an excellent range of adidas trail running shoes that are great to switich into after a ride to keep your new Stealth S1 dotty rubber soles in good condition for your next session.on the bike.
