Five Ten Impact Pro Mountain Bike Shoes Men's

Pros:1. ALOT of grip, I don't know what the stealth rubber sole is stealthy at but it's not grip, the grip/stickiness is undoubtable, seriously grippy (more on that in cons).2. The shoes feel like a tank, they're well constructed with what appears to be quality materials. Toe and heel protection is evident, the Poron material on the front and heel seems robust and durable.3. Elastic loop to tuck your laces into, no one wants to get laces caught in their crank4. Dries quickly, self explanatory5. Power transfer, the shoes have sufficient stiffness in the sole to not flex significantly under load, if you're coming from regular shoes like I am, be prepared to feel like you have some extra horsepower.Cons:1. Any flat pedals with pins; these shoes will hold on to for dear life, which is a matter of taste because once you have your feet in position in these shoes, shifting the position of your feet must be deliberately done by raising one's feet and repositioning them (not really a con, just something get used to).2. Ventilation, there's not much of it, so wear some cool socks.3. Stiffness, weight and slight bulk, the shoe is serious like Rambo, the stealth sole and insole performance dampen vibrations so well, the general feel of the pedals and trail are barely present, you'll have to sensitize yourself to them again once wearing these if you like to ride by feel.4. Price; These were on sale for ~$75 but the regular price is $119 and MSRP is $160. Wait for a saleWill update over time on the long term comfort, durability and performance but so far so good.

Yeah they are a half size down from my Freeriders but that was not a surprise - freerider pros are the same. Size up a half size. Seems pretty universal from the comments here. The stiff takes some getting used to - first walk around the house reminded me of my old Galibier Super Guides. These shoes take some serous getting used to but once they are broken in I am very happy with the fact that my ankles are no longer being bashed by my cranks and pedals. They stick to my Crankbrothers Stamp 1s as well as my freeriders. Adjusting position on the pedals has also taken some getting used to as it is a little different than with the freeriders given the stiffness and slight weight increase but the ankle protection is worth it. These are great shoes. Strongly recommend especially if you like me have bloody ankles from your flat pedals

I have a few pairs of 5 tens. All in size 9 and I will admit they are a little tight when new. These were perfect from day one. The photo is the reason I got these. I ordered them the next day. I will never suffer another ankle injury from the cranks smacking me again!

Shoe is really stiff. I ordered 0.5 larger than what I usually wear, so I would buy 1 size larger. It barely fits because the padding is thick. It is uncomfortable to walk and I can feel the stitching on my toes. Pictures show my foot vs shoe and my old shoe size vs 510. I wish I could exchange but I have to return, wait for refund, then buy again. Ok cool, but now the price has jumped from $88 to $129.99.

I bought these after having a nasty accident where my foot caught between my pedal and a large root at speed. Fortunately, I didn't break anything, but the bruising and recovery of my toes and metatarsals was long. The previous 510's were more comfortable and had better feel on the pedals, but for downhill, I feel so much better riding these, especially after a few rides when the soles were broken in a bit.They do start off very stiff, but I haven't had any pedal slips in several full bike park days. I ride these with OneUp platforms on a long travel DH bike.

The older version were much better and has more protection.and is a lot more rugged.five ten has always been my go to mtb shoes but I may try some other brands Adidas didn’t do the five ten brand any favors they seem more like a knock off of the original that’s just not as good .

After stubbing my toe (still in pain 8 days later) riding at my local bike park… I decided to grab a pair of shoes more suited for downhill riding. I’ve spent the past two years with a pair of Fiveten Freeriders and while they’re great shoes for recreational mountain biking, they lack any level of real protection. That’s where these Fiveten Impact Pro’s come in. They’re solid but not beefy and provide a much much higher degree of protection in the toe and ankle area. Oh, and they’re very very very grippy, more so than the regular fiveten freeriders. (But maybe my old shoes were just worn out) I’m not sure you’ll find much better than this if you’re looking for a flat pedal shoe that provides excellent grip with a high emphasis on protection. These might be a bit much to wear on regular trails.. as they are a bit heavier and will trap more heat inside. For trail riding or recreational riding, the regular fiveten freeriders will be on my feet. When it comes to riding DH trails though, it’s a no brainer.

I have 2 other pairs on 5-10’s free riders and trailcross mids. The trailcross are my bike packing and commuting shoe of choice. I got size 11 1/2 as my size 11 free riders are a bit short. I really like the trailcross but wanted a more substantial shoe for colder condition. I ordered the 11 1/2 based on my experience with my other 5-10 shoes but would need a 12 and I never wear a 12.These shoes are really nicely made and the materials seem excellent. Sturdier than the trailcross and less likely to get waterlogged than the free riders.But even though the insides are small, the outsides are ginormous. The soles are so wide! As far as off the bike they are so big and stiff they almost feel like ski boots. So would be great for colder weather bikepacking or bike commuting.
