5.10 has new colors, new models and even a clipless show in store for the upcoming season!

---

5.10 has a whole mess of new product on tap for 2010.

Besides the Freerider in Blue Zebra, they also have a high top version of the Freerider in sweet yellow and gray.

Kathy Pruitt is modelling the new Minnaar clipless shoe, sticky rubber sole, SPD compatible and not bad looking. Production version will ship in white.

MMMMMM, 5.10 spd's!!!

I found my new pair of shoes for next year. Thanks Frasier and Kathy!!

 

[profro]

Hopefully they can find a better material than paper for the footbeds for 2010.

 

[stinkyboy]

These I love:

Candy coated sh1t that does not breath as well, I do not.

 

[Damo]

Lets hope they have solved their longevity problems before working on new colours.

I am liking the new range however. Cheers Fraser.

I really dig the minaars, but I wish they made a non-clipless model....go figure.

 

[4xBoy]

I will be ordering a set of the Minaars.

I was just the other day of how thinking how cool it'd be to have SPD/clipless 5.10s..

ive been talkin to them about it since april lol

Those 5.10 SPD's look a little disappointing. Would have liked to have seen some ankle support and protection and a different tightening system other than traditional laces. This is speculation, but it doesn't appear that the toe box is that stout or protective. That was one of my bigger gripes with my 5.10 flat pedal shoes.

It's nice that there is another DH specific spd shoe on the market, but there's still only a few stout, high top, soft soled spd shoes out there. Hopefully there will be some more refined models down the road.

 

[Transcend]

The clipless show pictures is a pre production model and will see a few changes before it goes into production... It's called the Minaaar.

The longevity problems for the freeride shoe have been fixed, it's not a 1 piece sole as there were production problems with last year's.

Someone has been wearing nike 6.0's at the 5.10 warehouse.

 

[Pip3r]

I was pumped to see what the Minnaar shoe looked like but it looks like a damn 80's track shoe. They need to just stick to simple as their designs are pretty horrid.

Hopefully they can find a better material than paper for the footbeds for 2010.

but sad.

Unfortunately, If 5.10 doesn't have Stealth there isn't much reason to buy their shoes. The quality of the rest of the shoe is sub par for $100 a pair. That being said I have owned 6 pairs in the last 5 years or so. Because of Stealth I'll keep buying them. I hope they add some quality improvements to these flashy new colors.

 

[sikocycles]

Hope they will make bigger sizes

 

[bizutch]

ive been talkin to them about it since april lol

I suggested against it in 05 when helping out with the "re-introduced" version after listening to Doug and others who were clinging desperately to all their old pairs like gold. Nice to know they're to the point financially where they can do it now.

There's a few places that'll re-sole any shoes with 5.10 Stealth rubber soles. That'd solve my problem with wanting a comfy, good looking padded shoe that you can pedal well in.

I don't like the new neon colors... ugly...

I'd like to see these with SPD.

 

[chicodude]

Longevity issues? My pair of 5.10's has lasted about 4-5 years. outlasted my bikes infact.

 

[stevew]

is there a law that says all cycling shoes have to be ugly?

 

[swl]

They just need to keep it simple with black and grays. Stick to what people like, don't go modern art on us. I would have trouble buying some of those boots just because of the ugly design, and I normally don't care, but florescent????

 

[EastCoaster]

Right on, SWL!

 

[Damo]

The longevity issue isn't in the sole material, it is the glue holding the sole to the rest of the shoe.

I have had many 5:10 shoes, ranging from the Impact, the Freeride, the Basic and the running shoe model. So far, the running model is the only one not falling apart...

I realise DH is hard on shoes, but when soles start falling off after a couple of months...

I won't complain too much over freebies though. And I will continue to use 5:10 for the quality of their rubber.

 

[rewster]

shoe goo. problem solved.

 

[EastCoaster]

shoe goo. problem solved.

Shouldn't have to I guess tho....

 

[EastCoaster]

The 5.10 Canyoneer 2 actually looks like more of an all around trail/AM shoe.... Wow if that thing was offered in a stiffer soles, 5.10 rubber SPD.

 

[Leethal]

Any idea when the clipless shoe will be out?

Going clipless for 5.10 is defeating why people buy them... they are a superior flat pedal shoe because of the grip nature of their rubber, and toughness. Remember, they are first a mountain climbing shoe company that developed their rubber for grip, so why the clipless? Quality though???... I have a pair and can say they are tough as nails.

 

[sc00ter16]

As a wise man once said "SPD equals Stupid Pedal Decision"

I don't understand why anyone would want to put clipless on a 5 10 stealth shoe either. Kinda like getting a hardtail SS 29er and wearing a full face

Clipless shoe ships in early may or late april. You run a 5.10 sole on them so they are nice and grippy when unclipped. They have a large amount of space around the cleat and clipping/unclipping doesn't seem to be a problem.

If only they didn't have a massive MINNAAR name splashed across the laces...
