Five Ten Sleuth DLX Mountain Bike Shoes Men's

Product Information

With my confession out of the way, I’ll say that the Five Ten Freerider Contact does have some shortcomings. Our name and mission are inspired by those weekly newspapers that tell the story of community, inspiration and, most importantly, inclusion.

tinha uns adidas velhos e escorreguei com eles, e decidi adicionar um segundo par destes que agarram bem.For those who like the concept of casual-looking shoes that perform better on the bike than your average sneakers, like the regular Sleuth, but who are looking for better overall performance on the pedals, the Sleuth DLX is worth a good look. Fortunately, its laces extend very far toward the toe and I’d say the shoe is slightly narrower than average, so I’ve still been able to get a secure fit (particularly when I use my thicker socks). The Sleuth also features much smaller and more tightly spaced “dots” for its tread, but I think the rubber compound is the biggest factor affecting its grip.

A primo impatto sembrano molto comode non solo da usare in bici ma anche come sneakers, la suola Fiveten assicura molto grip sui pedali. Designed as a lightweight, more hiking-friendly alternative to skate-style shoes, the Trailcross LT presents an attractive list of features. With a reinforced heel cup and lace-up closure system, the Sleuth ensures a secure lockdown fit, preventing any worries about heel slippage. The Sleuth is manufactured with a suede leather upper which provides good breathability for more moderate riding but is less breathable than other shoes with more synthetic and highly breathable uppers. These are simply the shoes that a few of our reviewers have been using a lot, and we’re curious to hear in the comments about your favorite flat shoes, and why you like them.

It caught my eye, quite literally, because it didn’t look like the massive, bulky skate shoes that my friends had affectionately nicknamed “dinostompers” when they were popular for casual use in some circles many years ago. Adidas Five Ten regularly features in our list of the best mountain bike shoes, but the footwear king has an extensive and sometimes confusing range of options.

the Stealth C4 rubber on the regular Sleuth and the rubber on the DZR Shift, and slightly softer / stickier than the Ride Concepts Powerline’s DST 4.Even though the Sleuth has a more casual appearance, it packs more riding-focused features like an EVA midsole and dotty Marathon sole. I have wide flat feet and usually struggle finding the correct size, without even talking about the fact it differs for each brand. In that time, I’ve come to appreciate that I can trust the shoe to keep my foot planted firmly in the concave embrace of my also-very-grippy DMR Vault Brendog pedals. The Freerider is a fantastic option for less aggressive riders that like something a little more compliant, but still stiff enough to provide a good platform. Apart from sole stiffness and vanity (aka, aesthetics), I think this will be an important factor if you’re deciding between the Sleuth DLX and, say, the Freerider Pro or original Freerider.

In fact, on some occasions I can see condensation droplets on the inside of the translucent plastic side panels on the shoe. We found the breathability was actually pretty good even on longer rides when the weather was cooler. One upside seems to be that, after around 30 days of riding and many more walking around, the Shift’s outsole is holding up the best, with the least visible wear of all the shoes I’ve been using.

Another thing I’ve noticed about the Sleuth DLX Canvas is that they are not as breathable as I feel a canvas shoe should be. For heavier riders, I’d be concerned the Sleuth DLX Canvas could be too flexible, and may not be able to offer the support they’re looking for from a mountain bike shoe.
