Thank you for a great review of different brands! It was very helpful!

Yeah we are interested in the details bro. We are mountain bikers whatever form we come in and we are always looking for information, because many biking things just cost too much and the more we know the better we are placed at making purchase decisions, so thumbs up and keep at it!

I was shocked you didn’t already have 1000 subscribers

An epic review mate well done!! I have a pair of Five tens and for years thought they were the best, but different companies caught onto the secret sauce, the rubber grips they use. The shoe fits great but not so much durable as some of five tens newest contenders. Great work keep it up 🤙🏼

Shoes and pedals are such a personal thing. But its good to know more about all these shoes! Currently use some Pearl Izumi's for road riding, as they are an overall stiff sole and fit well. 5/10's freerider pro for mt bike riding and gravel bike riding. They work, no problems I can see. I had some of the early Shimano flat pedal shoes with BOA closure, they got so floppy I use em for slippers now, 200.00 slippers. Most tests always say the grip is 80% or even 85% as good as 5/10 stealth rubber. When comparing other shoes.

Thanks for review! Got the fox one and love them :) The video is good, but the sounds needs improvement. Get one of these little rode wireless clip on mics. YT viewers are pretty forgiving on image quality and cutting, but are very sensitive to bad sound.

I know you have not blown up yet but your video quality is great keeo it up! Invest in a used dji wireless mic

Great video! Keep it up

I have relatively narrow feet but I don't mind a wider shoe if its virtually glued to the pedal as soon as you put any weight on it. Think of it as the flat pedal version of 'float' on clipless pedals.

I got the Fox clipless and I like them. They don't feel too narrow and are very stiff, two things I was looking for. They fit true to size. I preferred the fit over the Shimano AM9s which was the other shoe I was seriously looking at.

Glad you like them! I’m totally sold on them for a summer shoe

Well done bro! I like the five tens though those unions are looking good... my next pair??

Your production/video quality is top notch, the audio has a tunnel feel to it though.

And also it isn't really mastered, at least not evenly... I found myself turning up the volume for the quieter parts, only to get my ears blasted out when he transitioned and the volume suddenly jumped way up 😅 Great review otherwise!

Pearl Izumi Launch Mid Boa. Stick like glue. Roomy toe box. Boa so much better than laces. Love them

Just got the Fox Union flats in grey. They're great, you just gotta go up a size. I'm a 10 in Nike, Adidas and Five Ten so I ordered 11 and they fit perfectly. Mostly wore Five Ten Freeriders which are great, but I wanted to try something different with less of a skater aesthetic. These are light, comfortable, have great grip with my DMR Vault pedals, have good protection without too much bulk, and while I can't speak to their durability yet, they're very well made. Never tried BOA but I can see what all the hype is about, they're great and while unnecessary, they're a nice luxury to have (kinda like Fidlock chin straps). Highly recommend!

It’s so crazy at often the exact same shoe is so different. I’ve probably tried on 12 different pairs of Freerider Pros and they all fit my foot so differently. Same shoe, same size, same color, etc. Some had too much room in the toe, others not enough room, some felt horrible the moment I slid them onto my feet when others didn’t, some comfortable and others not, etc. It’s crazy at how inconsistent they are. For me at least. Reality is, just like a lot of things, there’s no shoe that’s best for everyone. Each person, if possible should try on as many shoes as they can (even if it’s the exact same shoe in the same size). Everyone’s feet are different and all shoes are different. Try’em all if possible

That's been my experience too, and not just 5/10 but all of Adidas. That's why I mostly wear Nike . Last 20 years I've ordered size 10 online, probably over 40 pairs and they all fit the same. Adidas and 5/10 I range anywhere between 9-10.5 which is why I don't usually get em. This year I'm running Fox Union BOA flats so we'll see.

Appreciate the detailed review. 👍🏻👍🏻

I found the CB stamp shoes to run small. I went up a full size and they fit great with good toe space but keep your foot in place.

Great overview. I run a startup MTB shoe brand called Anamoly out of Austin, Texas - first launched out of Southern California on Kickstarter in 2021. This month we finally receive our first batch after a few production delays. Could I send you out a pair or two to review? EDIT: They're wide, btw (one of the widest, if not _the widest_ on the market 😉).

Great review, comparison. I was looking for shoes tha thad Sam breathability as Fiveten Freerider. Thos ei felt the breeze trough them. But not as durable as those shoes you mentioned. And felt surface trough the sole, so rocks, rough gravel. Maybe the Fox shoes can be an summer option for me. I live in Norway, so the Enties shoe is only suitable for dry weather and a bit splashes. Not wet snow, deep puddle, and blasting them with water in puddles. That's where waterproof shoes with high gaiter come in. But I've not tried any proper ones yet. I have Northwave Multicross Gtx, but the sole might be the stiffest sole on the market, even at the ball of the foot so it's like walking with wooden shoes. Also ankle, heel area is wider than Five Ten, Ride concepts, so need ankle braces to wear them, and even with wearing space brace 2 I feel a bit of heel lift off. But I stay warm and dry, as it has Goretex and proper gaiter. Apart from the ankle, heel thing the fit is the same. I had to get this type of shoe this was the only thing I could find in stock, but I will look into this type of shoe and try some, as I need to find a set tha ti's better to walk in. But the sole lacked grip, foot slid an could move it easily if I did not put the power on or stood on the pedals. But for spring, autumn and dry winter Ride concepts TNT is great. But too warm for summer. But sole is comfy, stiff sole, but has right amount of upwards flex for walking. The sole dampens wells, comfy to walk in, of course enot running shoe like, but stiff most comfy shoes apart from running shoes I've walked in. I don't feel the rocks as much, can walk on rough gravel and rocks and not feel it as much if at all. The doebox is good too, thick and stif, whole front, but sides have more flex. But much better than fiveten, and better than first gen of Ride concepts. The 4.0 rubber grips as well a fiveten, as sticky, does not leave black marks on the floor.

Welcome from Norway! Yeah man, definitely take a look at the Fox shoes. I have more rides on them now after the video and I still love them. I wish there were more "cool" waterproof MTB shoes out there. Seems like the Multicross and Trailcross are the few that stand out.

@@MEvsMTB Leatt has released one last year, but it has a coil zipper at the gaiter with a button at the top. Coil zippers wear faster, easier to damage. So I am skeptic.

After riding emerica or DC shoes skate shoes for the last 20 yrs I bought a pair of Sombrino "sender" mtb specific at the recommendation of another local rider, they are horrible the sole isn't that bad but the shoes has no flex where it needs to, like wearing a tortoise I'd say. I got a pair of "new" emerica omen hi top, I feel secure again 😂

Which shoes have the most top of foot protection? After smashing my foot wearing freerider pros this is crucial for me. Stiff sole, wide and toungue protection, ventilation doesn't matter, feet don't sweat

I have a pair of 5 10 before adidas bought them, amazing. I have a pair after adidas bought them, and the rubber is junk, and the shoe is so narrow my feet fall asleep. Thanks, for the video

The fox shoes do you have to go up half a size like five tens?

The etnies suck, compared to the five tens, if you live in a wet environment and have to walk on slimy rocks and roots. Very little walking traction! The pins on flats don't grab as well on the Etnies.

Crankbrothers fit different. I wear 1 size bigger in Crankbros compared to 5-10
