Its new shoe time. In the way back days of 2016 you all convinced me to go with flats . For me it was a good move. Five Ten shoes were also highly recommended so I got a pair of Free Riders which are fantastic except for the durability of the soles. About 75% of the contact area adhesive has failed resulting in a rubber band effect where the shoe pulls back while the rubber sole maintains its grip.
Since this is my first pair of Five Tens I have no idea if 3 seasons is a reasonable expectation for a $120.00 bike shoe. Its possible that the pins of my pedals have accelerated normal wear and tear.
My questions:
Are Five Tens still considered among the best sticky soled flats?
How many seasons do you expect out of a good pair of platform pedal bike shoes?
You're the best!
