5.10 Freerider Contact Bike Shoes
Mountain biking season is now in full swing and you’ll be hard pressed to find a single rider not sporting 5.10 bike shoes. Of those, the vast majority of 5.10 shoes will likely be the one variety of the Freerider. Why is this the case you may ask? Well, most of the credit is due to 5.10’s superior knowledge of rubber compounds. The soles on the Freerider Contact shoes are incredibly sticky and provide a sure-footed grip on your pedals which is crucial. In addition to the features listed below they also have super beefy construction and look pretty smokin’ too.
Features:
- Abrasion resistant synthetic upper
- Reinforced toe box for added toe protection
- EVA midsole for increased shock absorption
- Stiff strobel board for rigidity when peddling
- Treadless sole design under the ball of your foot for quick-on-the-fly adjustment with out lug interference
- Stealth M16 rubber outsole for incredible grip
The 5.10 Freerider Contact Bike Shoes are available for both men and women and come in a variety of appealing colours such as Black/Red, Semi-Solar Green (pictured above), Dark Grey/Orange, Black/Lime Punch, and Grey/Blue for men. For the ladies they come in Split Pink, Shock Green/Onix and Maroon/Grey. Sizes for men are 4-12, 13, 14 and for women 5-11. The men’s weigh in at 385g / 13.6oz and the ladies slightly lighter at 300g / 10.57oz.
