Thank you, a great video. I just ordered one pair of Free Rider Pros, and two pairs of Free Riders different colors, all from REI. I’ll pick one that I like out of the three take the other two back. Then I will take my favorite one to my local bike shop and compare it to the Ride Concepts Vice Model, then make my final choice. Again, thank you for your insights.
I don’t wanna feel my pedals ; in fact after riding my feet hurt like hell ! To clarify : Giant Talon 29/1 , Pedaling Innovations flat pedals , 5.10 Prime Blu canvas with stealth. I ride rail trails only - 2 to 8 hours at a time. I’d love it if my feet didn’t hurt so much afterwards. I’m thinking about the Free Rider Pros . The stiff sole sounds fantastic ! Are they true to size ? I wear a 10 wide . Should I go with 10 or 10.5 ?
I tried Five Ten Trail Cross Mid Pro, they did not feel as breathable as Freerider, those were super breathable but not tried Freerider Pro. I did not know the Trailcross LT were see trough and let that dirt in, the Mid Pro did not, but I had to return mine as they were faulty the seams at the loop at the gaiter rubbed my skin off. So got a refund. I hoped they were going to be as breathable, but LT sounds like a a shoe for summer use. Did they change the shoes to be more breathable or is the LT just more breathable? The sole was definitely great to walk in, while being supportive.
I learned a lot of people wear vans when riding flats recently, I personally wear the original MTE shoes with the inverted waffle pattern which are really grippy
Thanks for the down to earth review man, I’m just getting started with MTB and was looking for an all around shoe to start with for going on simple beginners trails not very technical nor doing any jumps or stunts for that matter and this review really helped. One quick question though, what made you choose the Low Tops versus the XT or high top Trailcross?
thanks for your no-bullshit, easy to understand take on these shoes. I'm getting into cycling for fitness and fun, and had my eye on the FR-P (and some others...so many options 😩), the TC seem to be more suitable though, and I hadn't really checked them out yet. cheers! ☺
Had to buy another shoe after running Free Rider Pro after a year and a half about 2000 miles all trail. Great shoe but yeah I'm having to replace them already its a bummer.
I’ve ridden them both and agree with most of your assessment, however I would warn that the TrailCross definitely doesn’t run true to size. It’s about 1/2 to 1 size bigger than the Freerider Pro. Both great shoes!
Cheers. I would say the Trailcross feels wider, but my personal experience would say maybe 1/2 size bigger. I didn’t notice a huge difference in length
So the trailcross is a compromise with riding and running? They look nice but i feel like its not the best of anyworld. Plus I've heard that the rubber isn't that sticky
I believe that’s where its design came from. It’s not heavily marketed as a trail running shoe. They’re my favorite riding shoe currently, and the rubber is insanely sticky.
I hate my Five Ten Freeriders, they are too wide and too short. I just ordered the Trailcross Mid and I hope they fit better now that Adidas owns the company.
the durability of these Trailcross shoes is quite poor. Wearing them only one year and both shoes rubbed through on the side of the little finger. For people with wider feet I definitely recommend the Freerider model
These are the worst shoes fiveten made. Lood at the big gap inside the show. All the dirt and tinny gravel goes inside. Every 15min I have to stop and remove rocks from the shoes. I’m so disappointed about them. I don’t know why Addidas did that. I have no issues compared to Impact Pro, except they are bulky.
I don’t think I’m gonna find a more honest video than this one. I’m going for the trailcross. Thanks bro
The music was annoying but you were good thank you,.
Haha thanks! I’ll tone it back in the future

Thanks for this review ! I just now ordered my first free rider pro I'm gonna need a stiffer shoe for more power to the pedal in NYC traffic!
Good luck with your channel bud. Great thorough review.
Cheers!!
You’re very down to earth and I like how you keep it real and don’t censor yourself lmaoo
Thoughts on D30 510 shoes their high tops I think they'd be perfect for you
Holy crap. Just saw you on x games filming for the mtb contest. I could tell it to was you from the voice. Really impressive footage.
Haha thanks dude! Hilarious that it was the voice that you noticed
Great vid. Just getting into riding and been making this exact comparison. Thanks mate.
Cheers, happy riding!
Keep going with the vids man!
Cheers!

Dude epic video but as a future tip turn the bg music down. It’s do loud and distracting from what your saying.
I subbed btw because it is so good.

we need more vids, your such a talented creator and have so much potential.
Cheers, thanks Scott! Any recommendations on content?
@@toryridesbikes9123 maybe some reviews on trail or some trail videos of you riding or some trick tips and tutorials
Solid, great ideas!
You deserve more subs
Cheers!!
@@toryridesbikes9123 no prob

good review.. 👌👌 just ordered a pair of the trail cross..
would you say the five ten trailcross would be good bike touring/packing?

So glad to help! Loving the tcs. Probably going to do a full-on review soon now that I’ve ridden them for awhile!
@@toryridesbikes9123 I just ordered a pair, so I look forward to seeing your more in-depth take on them...and I can't wait to try them out myself! 👍
if anyone knows dorky, it's this guy!
I’ll take it!
Thanks man this helped me decide what shoes to get
So glad I could help!

would you say that the trailcross lt and vans are the same sizing ?
Great review. I really want the trailcross XT
Dude, great review, but imho the music is too loud, it really conflicts with the volume of your voice. Anyway, I really enjoyed your honest review, gj
nice video. helps a lot. thanks for uploading
was sizing same for both shoes
Very nice man, i really like the shoes. RS always.
I dig the Trailcross, but ended up going with the Freerider Pro because of the durability. I don't feel like buying a new pair of shoes every year.
Smart call for sure. The Trailcross is awesome but we’ll see how it holds up over time. I can tell the Freeriders would last an eternity
Had to buy another shoe after running Free Rider Pro after a year and a half about 2000 miles all trail. Great shoe but yeah I'm having to replace them already its a bummer.
@@CaBdosdos 2k miles is a lot. I don't know many other shoes that could withstand that many miles. If you are worried about longevity, buy clipless.
Make more vid mann!! Ur reviews are awesome n honest. Make ride videos too and riding techniques. Ur honest take on it will b great
Cheers! I definitely will
Do ur vans and 5tens run the same size wise
They do! The five tens might be a tiiiiny bit longer, but barely.
Good review thanks
Thank you so much! That helped me a lot :)
Cheers!
dude youve got a future! keep posting man! was very helpful! a sub from me
Much appreciated 🙏

the music is too high
I definitely will fix that in the future
What transition is that in the background? Looks sick!
It’s a 2018 Sentinel! Love that thing.
I hope my subscription unleashes the viral demons on your channel. May you have 1M subs by next year. 🔮
Thanks..thanks..i think trailcross make sense...
good vid thank you
Good job.
I hate my Five Ten Freeriders, they are too wide and too short. I just ordered the Trailcross Mid and I hope they fit better now that Adidas owns the company.
How are the Trailcross Mid?
Yeah, i’ll just shut the fck up and do my research. HAHA Great review man!
Haha! You can listen to randos like me or make your own decisions. Just here to give a personal opinion!
the durability of these Trailcross shoes is quite poor. Wearing them only one year and both shoes rubbed through on the side of the little finger. For people with wider feet I definitely recommend the Freerider model
Thanks!
Turn that music off…. Great vid..Tks.
the trailcross look better.
I fully agree! Beautifully designed shoe
Agreed they do look nice!
Your bgmusic is super loud
Music is too loud
Now I’m even more confused
what about the brittish nuts? or semen uk
My new 5 10s are trash. Etnies and not looking back. Adidas quality has gone to shit.
These are the worst shoes fiveten made. Lood at the big gap inside the show. All the dirt and tinny gravel goes inside. Every 15min I have to stop and remove rocks from the shoes. I’m so disappointed about them. I don’t know why Addidas did that. I have no issues compared to Impact Pro, except they are bulky.
Ah and the size. Impact Pro 8.5 size is ok and Trailcross 8.5 is like 9 or 9.5.
5 10 looks so much better than fucking skater fucking vans
what did vans do to hurt you
Ditch the music otherwise great review
I got both hahaha love my pros better... I feel more planted on the pedals but for very hot weather the trailcross are better..
Fully agree with that. The extra durability and stiffness is nice until your feet are Shreks swamp
The freeriders just saved my toes/food yesterday.
