I had been wearing Adidas Trail Cross SL for about 3 years. Went to an Enduro Race in Alabama and FORGOT my shoes. Found some Giro Riddance at a Local shop and fell in LOVE with them. Will be running Giro for a while methinks!
I had the Giro exact same shoes and the exact same Chester race face pedals and after a year my giro sole got destroyed. I only used it on the weekends. The shoe it self is good and comfortable my only problem was that the sole design is bad. The small nobs are falling apart much faster that a bigger five 10 nobs. I just ordered a five 10 freerider.
@@marcohillenbrand7039 just wanna jump in cause im on hunt for best flat shoes and course 5-10 is known for best sole grip.. but i did just hear that specialized's 2FO is the first contender against 5-10 ... wdyt? have u heard anything about them? some even said might be better then 5-10 if that's even possible lol
I have a pair of the Giro Jacket II. I bought them primarily because I got a great deal on Amazon. I have about 800 miles on them so far. the pedals I use are the Crank Brothers Stamp 7 with the longer pins. With all that said, I'm not a fan of these shoes. There's something about the tread pattern that seems to not hook up on the pins of my pedals. On my right shoe (which never seemed to stay in place on the pedal) there are wear points where the four corners of the pedals would rest. It has ground a hole the size of a quarter through the tread and created a void where the pin can no longer grab the shoe. The shoe itself is very comfy however and pretty good for walking in. They also have a nice lace holder on the top of the shoe to keep your laces out of the way. I would not buy these shoes again. I am looking at Five Ten or Ride Concepts.
My giro jacket’s sole broke down super fast. Maybe 10 rides. They look good so I just wear them around now. Ride in 510’s and Crank bros. Both of those are excellent in fit, grip, and durability
great vid buddy..thanx for doi ng them. again the 5-10 wins the grip war.. lol i do wish they would make more in quick lace or boa they seem to be lil behind in that ... :(
@@DrJMTB lol nice... yah actually just heard new 2fo by specialized is first contender for grip against 5-10.. wdyt of them or have u heard anything bout em?? thanx for reply btw..
worn out a pair of Giro Jackets in 3500 miles.....your explanation of the reduced grip on them would explain why I had to lengthen the pins which has obviously been the cause of excessive wear . New pair of something due now 5-10 s dont know ...need to try some.
Great video mate I'm subbing. Just wondering how do the freeriders hold up in the rain. Do they get slippy or soggy. Also would they be alright for everyday use. Thanks 👍
Thanks for the sub and 5 10s generally hold their grip in the wet as good as anything I've ridden to date. As far as every day wear, they're not quite supportive enough for my liking, but it could totally be done. I've been rocking the new Crankbrothers flats shoes and find them to be WAY more comfortable for all day casual wear. Stay tuned for a full review on those.
Subbed and liked!!! Great video!! I wear new balance 990 size 10 4E width (extra wide). Are there any mountain bike shoes that come in wife? If not, which are the widest?
Awesome and thank you! The Five Ten Freeriders really are relatively wide, especially when you compare them to the Giros or the Ride Concepts. th-cam.com/video/ZB7uP3aT74o/w-d-xo.html
I personally did. I typically am a 10 or 10.5 in most shoes. I tried a 10.5 in the Five Tens and sent them back. I can't stand a MTB shoe to be loose at all. My Jacket 2s are 10.5, but I could probably rock them in 10 as well had they had them in stock.

That's one way to try some new kicks out!

same problem here... seems like five ten is next up 🤘
just wondering how adidas has changed the brand...? is it still top tier?
@@marcohillenbrand7039 yes my five 10 is way better. Giro looked nicer but my 5ten after a year still no damage on the sole. Highly recommended.

I agree with you, I prefer a softer sole but a better feel of the pedals. I think that is kind of the point of the shoes.

You also catch good backside on those jumps. Nice riding.
i like the 5 10s and they held up great for me, great video btw
Yep, they're solid for sure. And thanks!

I've been enjoying the Rice Concepts Vice, and I'm about to try out a set of the new Crankbrothers flat pedal shoes.
Hi, what flat pedal shoes could you recommend for a whole day (100 miles) XC/Trail trip? Thx :]
Freerider Pros 👍🏻

Thanks I'm only allowed one pear of non dress shoe and I'm thinking five ten for price and functionality
Stealth rubber was originally created for rock climbing shoes.

damn i am also a new balance wide feet , lol , i remember i tore a vans sideways
@@DrJMTB just curious how good are the ride concepts far as grip and compared to the leader in that dept ..5-10
I ride the hell out of my bikes with vans 😂 I wouldn’t mind trying the giro I hear addidas bought out 510 and the new ones suck these days
I dunno. I've had 2 pairs of Five Tens since they have been bought out and they've held up just fine and literally grip twice as well as the Giros.
and should i stay true to size?
I personally did. I typically am a 10 or 10.5 in most shoes. I tried a 10.5 in the Five Tens and sent them back. I can't stand a MTB shoe to be loose at all. My Jacket 2s are 10.5, but I could probably rock them in 10 as well had they had them in stock.
What did you think about the fit of these? True to size?
Yes they were for me!
Giro sole is garbage. Now I am using 5ten

@@DrJMTB asked this question and 2 seconds later saw this.. lol thanx that was quick lmao... u da man keep up great vids bro.. and thanx for doing them all....much appreciated
I prefer 510's.
I don’t recommend the giro because I have them and have jade them for 6 months and they all broken don’t buy them
