I got a pair that fit after a few tries, but the damn things make it feel like I'm wearing watermelons.How do five tens fit? I have always stayed away from them cause they are so sticky but the lack of good shoe options available has me leaning towards trying a pair.
I pulled the trigger on a pair of freeriders, hopefully they fit. Watermelon feet sounds soggy.I got a pair that fit after a few tries, but the damn things make it feel like I'm wearing watermelons.
My mom covers the shipping and I already have 3 pair of these so I'm goodOoh, the free shipping is a game changer
I've had the same problem. My feet are not wide, and the fact that they're cut on the wider side, combined with how bulky a lot of them are drove me nuts.I got a pair that fit after a few tries, but the damn things make it feel like I'm wearing watermelons.
IMO, they have no benefits at all. Nothing but compromise in every aspect.On a serious note. Anyone have any experience with the Freeriders that are missing the tread under the ball of the foot?
Seems like a good idea as I often have trouble re-positioning my feet once they are on the pedal. But it also seems like a bad idea because I often have to walk up steep shit so I can ride down steep shit.
I kinda figured that. Well I guess I should just shoe goo my existing shit back together and ride em till they finish dying.IMO, they have no benefits at all. Nothing but compromise in every aspect.
I'm very happy to be back on the new Impacts after a couple seasons of those semi-slick freeriders.

Fuck man, gotta go and give me conflicting information like that. It never rains in NorCal either any more so you may have a point.My favorite pair of 5.10s are Freeriders with the missing tread, I dig them. They're fine for hiking, only pair I have that I like to hike in better are the Diddies, and they're a boot, and only marginal for riding. I do however live and ride in SoCal, our trails are drier than a popcorn fart, so the smooth rubber sticks to the rocks decently well. I;ve heard that in some areas, water falls from the sky and creates a substance called mud, and that mud may be really slippery is one tried to hike-a-bike in it without tread on their shoes.
The bottoms of my Sam Hills have basically been like those missing tread Freeriders for a few years. I haven't noticed an issue hiking with them, and I use them for all kinds of outdoor activities besides biking (like hauling sound systems up trails). I'm in Norcal as well.Fuck man, gotta go and give me conflicting information like that. It never rains in NorCal either any more so you may have a point.
Just in case, don't just search 'mens' and your size. I did that and got nothing available, but selecting a shoe and checking sizes showed a lot in my size were available.nothing available in my size
