I have been riding in the Adidas Five Ten Freeriders for the past year or so, and as others have noted, they are reasonably comfortable, stiff flat-pedal MTB shoes. They do stick like glue to your pedals! However, they’re just ugly as sin, and they’re not comfortable at all to walk in for any distance. So, I’ve been looking for new shoes that have the same stickiness, don’t look like Vans, and are more comfortable to walk around in. After reading a lot of reviews, I decided to take a chance on the Five Ten Trailcross LT shoes (and besides, they were on sale). I wear a 9-1/2 in most shoes (including the Freeriders), and decided to stick with that size in the Trailcrosses. As you can see from the pictures, the Trailcrosses are, indeed, a bit longer than the Freeriders (I’d say about 1/2 inch), and are narrower. That being said, although they fit tighter than the Freeriders, they were not uncomfortable. They are not as stiff as the Freeriders, and much more comfortable to walk in. Note that I have not tried climbing a hill in them for hike-a-bike, but they’ve got to be better than the Freeriders in that respect. They do have a slightly different tread in the front and back (more conducive to digging into the dirt when climbing a hill), but the main, middle-part of the tread is the same rubber and pattern as the Freeriders. They still stick like glue to the pedals! And, finally, they actually look good (and the front of the shoes are almost the exact same green as my bike!). They’re lighter than the Freeriders, made of lighter and airier mesh in the main part of the shoe, with harder rubber at the toe and surrounding the sole.All-round, a good MTB shoe. I took off one star because they are narrower than most other shoes that I’ve worn, but not uncomfortably so. You would expect Adidas to have the same last for all of their flat-pedal MTB shoes, but obviously not.Pros:- light- airy- very grippy on flat pedals- good-looking- comfortable to walk around/hike inCons:- a bit narrow in the fit- I wouldn’t wear them in very cold weather – they’re too well ventilated

I bought the Five Ten Trailcross LT Mountain Bike Shoe with the hope of replacing the Five Ten Access as an approach shoe, noticing the similarly sloped shape of the midsole.The Five Ten Access offered perfect fit and function, and very good durability, apart from the outsole eventually separating from the midsole. My hope in writing this review is to offer feedback to others who want something comparable to the Five Ten Access, and perhaps to anyone from Adidas who might be looking for feedback.As suggested in other reviews, I bought the Five Ten Trailcross LT Mountain Bike Shoe a half size down for proper fit. I have a wide foot (not sure if I’m an E or EE), and though some reviews suggest the width is narrow, I took a chance and so far I think it may be adequate/acceptable. After the hike, I can feel they are more narrow and would prefer a slightly wider fit.Like the Five Ten Access, the black rubber outsole is very sticky, offering good stability and grip. The shoe is somewhat stiff (desirable for mountain biking, less so for approach) which puts some strain and fatigue on calf muscles hiking up. The toe box is hard rubber and somewhat restrictive, but acceptable. The depth of the heel feels slightly shallow during steep ascending, but doesn’t cause blisters.I found the laces somewhat thin and replaced them with Orthostep 48″ flat laces, which are as close as I’ve found to the original Five Ten Access laces, which are more substantial for support.Five Ten Access is a tough act to follow – I wore Five Ten Access for as long as they were available and bought every pair I could find in my size after they were bought out by Adidas and discontinued, using them primarily as an approach shoe for hiking up Stone Mountain in Atlanta. The size of Five Ten Access is a half-size up from my normal size, and my foot goes deep enough into the shoe that the heel is covered very well, especially for ascending a steep slope. The grip and stability are excellent and exact to prevent any ankle rolling, the toe box and general width generous yet appropriately snug with lacing, and both mesh and leather are extremely durable. The only problem is how the sticky black sole eventually peels away after about six months, but I found a cobbler who was able to reattach it, and I’ve continued wearing the Access as a casual shoe, even with a worn down grip. Ultimately, I prefer the mesh version over the leather version, and it is also surprisingly strong and never tore. I’ve been hugely disappointed to see the Access discontinued, and nothing offered by Adidas has since has come close. I’ve tried other approach shoes only to encounter problems with width, grip and stability. Five Ten access gave ultimate confidence, grip, comfort and support going up and down the steepest slopes, and leaping or lunging across gaps.Conclusion: Five Ten Trailcross LT Mountain Bike Shoe is as close to a replacement of the Five Ten Access as I’ve found. That said, I’d like to see an approach shoe variant, or just bring back the Access.

I usually ride clipless, but got a new bike and decided to give flats another try. I have had a pair of FiveTen Freerider’s in the past and wasn’t the biggest fan of them as they felt too “skateboarder-ish” for my taste (stuck to the pedal like glue though) so was going to look into the Freerider Pros until I saw these. A shoe that looks and feels like a tennis shoe but has the platform/support and grip of a FiveTen MTB shoe? YES PLEASE! I love these shoes, the LTs that is, and highly recommend them to anyone who wants that tennis shoe feel but with MTB shoe performance! I have been wanting a MTB shoe like this for a long time and am glad I stumbled across them. When these wear out I will buy another pair no questions asked.As with other reviews I do agree that they run a little big so I ordered a half size smaller than usual and they worked out great for me (Usually buy 11 but ordered 10.5 in these).

As many have said, the toe box of this shoe runs narrow. I ordered the men’s version (in a 9) instead of my typical women’s 10.5/11.The insole sucks & offers no support. I simply swapped them with a pair of Superfeet green from my old running shoes. Instant comfort.On my 1st ride, we had to wade across a creek with knee high water. The drain holes worked quickly, and while my feet were wet, my shoes weren’t sloshy (like ProRiders would have been).The pedal grip is exceptional. I fear locked onto Raceface Chesters.These are light, and on hot, humid days, my feet don’t feel like they’re burning up.

I love thisβ¦it actually sticks to my pedal. Very lightweight and comfortable.
Charley Dumas –
Very light and therefore no much support. I’m using them for paved paths and they are great for that. I’m not sure how they will be for rough single tracks.
