This shoe works really well for me except it is a bit too grippy as it is somewhat difficult to adjust my foot placement on the pedal (I’m going to screw the pedal posts down a millimeter or so to see if this helps). Previously, I wore the Five-Ten Freerider (not Pro), and it was easier to adjust foot placement.But the Freerider Pro compared to the Freerider is a much better shoe with higher quality and more durable material and better construction. The upper part of the Pro version is better: (1) because there is a tough rubber strip surrounding the toes (and heel, too) which is great for foot strikes, (2) the material covering the top of the foot, a slightly softer, but still firm rubber compared to the tough toe rubber, has a pattern of holes for releasing moisture, and (3) the lace-tongue construction holds the tongue in place much better on the Pro version compared to the Freerider which constantly has the tongue slipping down to the side.Beneath the rubber exterior is a layer of soft material for added insulation and comfort. In comparison, the Freerider exterior material is a soft cloth material and not protective at all, which my right foot discovered the hard way last year when I bashed my foot against a tree stump. I limped around for 3 weeks with a sore toe. With the Pro version’s durable exterior, I would have ridden away uninjured and pain-free.The interior of the shoe is well padded all the way around, and below the shoe insert is a medium firm white rubber compound for an extra bit of support, cushioning, and comfort. The Freerider Pro is definitely a stiffer shoe than the Freerider, but it still does have some flex to it. The one thing, however, about the rubber layer is it does trap some moisture (despite the holes on top), and since the trails I ride have a lot of sandstone, I get a bit of sand creeping in beneath the insert and sticking to the rubber pad. So after each ride, I remove the inserts, wait for things to dry out for an hour, and dump out the sand particles — not ideal but not a deal-breaker, either. Obviously, in the summer heat, your shoes are going to collect some moisture, but overall I would say that this shoe breathes pretty well and hasn’t been too hot. I suspect that on cold winter rides that it will be better insulated than the Freeriders which didn’t do well under 20 degrees Fahrenheit.In conclusion, I would describe the Freerider Pro as a high quality shoe with excellent materials and construction and very high grip. I’m giving it 5 stars despite the shoe being overly grippy because in the end having your shoes stay on the peddles is critically important to controlling a mountain bike; more so than slight adjustments to foot placement.

For years I heard that 5/10 is the best by far, but when i had LEAT DBX – I couldn’t imagine by how much the 5/10 is superior and the difference is huuuuge.Freerider Pro is a perfect shoe for me: it’s form is long enough, not wide – so it grips the whole feet, which you really want, because the mass and impacts goes well distributed. In LEAT for example you have a really wide shoe so all the impacts go into your nails, yes yes – i had(and still have) blood under nails from riding technical trails in LEAT.Freerider Pro, you must take a bit bigger size(i am 45, so i took 45 2/3, fits perfect). It’s water resistant so its good and not perfect for hot weather because you are sealed with no ventilation at all, and if you do 5-7 hours in them….vent your legs from time to time :)The Grip is phenomenal, actually I forgot that there is a grip problems that people are struggling and talking….with 5/10 you just have always grip and comfort.

I was looking for shoes for a hybrid bike (not road bike, not mountain bikeβ¦ somewhere in between). My bike has standard pedals without cleats or cages. Regular running shoes were too flimsy and I was getting pain and burning in the balls of my feet. I wanted a shoe with the stiffness of a road bike shoe, but with a grippy sole that wouldnβt slip off the pedals. I also wanted to be able to walk around without taking the shoes off after getting off the bike.These shoes met all of my needs and surpassed them. I have wide feet, and the laces can be let out enough to give me room in the forefoot without hurting. I wear size 13 EE, and ordered size 13. They fit perfectly. Theyβre stiff enough to allow me to pedal without the shoe flexing, yet give a little to allow for comfortable walking (though I wouldnβt want to go for a hike in them). The grip on the sole keeps the shoes from slipping on the pedals, and even lets me pull a little, kind of like when using a cleat.These shoes are well made and well worth the price. Iβm obviously very happy with them!

These shoes are true to size and comfortable when you ride. Definitely will purchase another pair down the road.

I went from the Freerider Contact to the Freerider Pro. While both are the same listed size, the Pro fits larger than the Contact. The insoles are also of less quality. Be prepared to either size down or buy a higher quality insole to take up some of the volume.
