Five Ten Sleuth DLX Mountain Bike Shoes Men's

Product Information

With at least 50% of the upper made from recycled materials, these cycling shoes support the reduction of new plastic waste.

Please Note: Shipments sent to the European Union are sold exclusive of VAT and may be subject to local import duties and taxes. With a durable suede leather upper, an EVA midsole, and a Stealth Marathon rubber outsole, the Sleuth is ready for a day at work, stopping at the bike park, and grabbing a tasty beverage after. g. cutting scraps, and post-consumer household waste to avoid the larger environmental impact of producing virgin content. As for durability, after about 30 days on the bike and many more than that off the bike, the Sleuth’s upper looks great but its sole is showing more wear than I’d expect, given its firmer / less grippy rubber compound.You can access, rectify and delete your data, as well as exercise other rights by consulting the additional and detailed information on data protection in our Privacy Policy.

The Five Ten Sleuth is a multisport shoe with great casual style for those days when you want a shoe that does it all.The low profile, while looking good, did cause some pressure on the tops of some of our test riders' toes, especially those with "blockier" toes. And the Shift’s thin upper, wide ankle opening, and lack of a substantial toe bumper make it the least protective shoe I reviewed. Please be patient with us as we need to receive this confirmation from the suppliers before we can process your request for a replacement/refund. I had been concerned that the super flexible sole might lead to some discomfort and the appearance of pressure points on the bottom of my foot. The fact that I’ll likely get at least 3 full seasons out of the Freerider Contact — again, which uses Five Ten’s softest bike rubber compound — is quite impressive.

First off, the Five Ten Sleuth DLX Canvas sizing is a little off with respect to the shoe sizing for other brands. Whether you're tackling rough trails or cruising through the city, the Sleuth offers excellent power transfer and efficient grip to keep you going. I recently sold a pair as I felt they were just like Adidas gazelle with the stealth sole and pretty much no protection whatever. Ha, I figured we might get a comment like this, which is why we noted at the top that we will be doing more reviews of shoes from more brands in the future; we just wanted to put this out right now since we’ve spent a lot of time in these particular shoes at this point.

The adidas Five Ten Sleuth mountain bike shoes balance a casual everyday feel with the ride-gripping control that put Five Ten bike shoes on the map. This versatile shoe brings bike style anywhere you go, offering the perfect balance of high-performance bike shoes and the comfort of casual sneakers. Unfortunately, so far they seem to be the only one to tick the boxes for grip and fit, if not durability. There’s nothing in the way of toe protection to oncoming stump or rock strikes, and it does leave me feeling a bit vulnerable in that regard. Although the Sleuth sports an easy-going skate shoe style, it also packs some features you'd expect in a more hardcore riding shoe.The Freerider Contact is clearly built in the more traditional aesthetic of a skate-style flats shoe. It’s probably not totally fair to even include the Shift here, given its road-oriented design, but it was actually very interesting to try on rougher trails.
