I would actually give these shoes 4 1/2 stars, but since you can’t, it gets 4. They have been absolutely stellar on the trail, on the rocks, and on the bike. These grip platform pedals like nobody’s business! The laces all the way down to the toe let you get these tightened perfectly so you don’t have one tight spot and another loose spot. One of my favorite things about these shoes is they do not roll around on your foot on off-camber terrain, which instills confidence that you won’t go tumbling down if things go sour. The only thing I don’t like about these shoes is the sole inserts that come with them. They have basically no arch support at all and not enough support to keep your feet from getting uncomfortable. I switched them out with some Superfeet and they are now perfect, but since that is an extra purchase, the original shoe gets knocked a star.

I own and love the Five Ten Impact low shoes for Mountain Biking and BMX. When I saw these shoes with no reviews, I was a little unsure about them, but ordered them anyways. The Freeriders are awesome. They are like a cross between the Impact and a skate shoe, they have advantages from both. They have a nice stiff sole, bomber construction, nice sticky tread, but have a kind of street styling and don’t mark up the floors in your house like the impact. The sole isn’t so stiff that you can’t feel anything, it’s a good compromise between feeling and stiffness for biking. I’ve been using them for BMX racing and cruising around on any bike. I have no complaints. Fit is true. I wear a 12, I feel that other brands usually don’t have a true fit as the larger sizes and I end up with a 13 sometimes. I would use these for mountain biking, too.

The 5.10 Kravers are the "hot" riding shoe to have right now. They are light, well padded, and very comfortable. The Kravers also have the shoe lace protector from mud getting in your shoes/laces. The sticky stealth rubber bottom is like no other shoe bottom, it helps keep your foot planted on the pedal so you can pedal yourself to the podium.

Well, after using them for the first time yesterday, the shoe is amazing, what everyone else raves about (stealth rubber) is completely true! I had tested them on a DH track that is extremely rocky and bumpy, and never lost my footing on the pedals, which is new as it always happened on other shoes. The look of them is not for everybody, but I personally liked the design, they are comfy and fit just right. Only thing I need to add, the size is half a size smaller. I am 11 and ordered 11 1/2, and they fit just right. On Zappos, I can’t say more, I am not a very big buyer, nor I buy lots during the year, but they never fail me, the shipping is just lightning fast, the customer service is second to none. And just the complete experience from ordering with you is A+++. I know that I will keep buying from you guys always!

NOT a women's specific fit - I was so disappointed with the women's Freerunners because I think they look cool, and I usually love Five Ten shoes. These, however, fit like the men's version with magenta stripes slapped on. I have pretty wide feet, but these are ridiculously wide. I figured I could just lace them tight, but my heels come up and rub against the back of the shoe and give me horrible blisters on my ankles even with tight lacing. Avoid these, Ladies, unless you have super wide feet.

I’ve had my Alien Glows for about six months now. Throughout that time I’ve used them about three times a week for Parkour training. They are still going strong, and I prefer them more now from when I first got them. The rubber is unbeatable on rock and concrete, although for the first month they are a bit stiff and dangerous for precisions onto rails. However, once the sole got worn in and softened up, my confidence in rail precisions returned. Basically their best feature is the very simple, thin, and sticky sole which does not collapse or break, even after thousands of jumps. This is the single most important aspect of a parkour shoe. Their worst feature has to be the cotton thread used to stitch the upper, which wears out quite quickly. I believe a nylon thread would have been better. Also, the rubber toe rand is awesome except that it ends a little too early. In short, best shoes I’ve ever used.

This shoe is the ultimate for mountainside with flat pedals. The grip is amazingly confidence inspiring, they will allow you to stay in control on the pedals over the roughest terrain imaginable. The karvers are super comfortable, I know many people who have them and love the fit. The lace cover is great at keeping dirt and debris out of your laces and even adds a bit of water resistance. Workmanship like all other 5.10 products is great! They are awesome for hiking, scrambling over rocks and generally getting awesome.

These shoes are great for spending long hours on the rocks. No more constantly taking shoes on and off during the day. To use them to best advantage, order them a size or two larger than you normally would.

Very comfortable. Good grip. Little rubber band to hold the lace - convenient. Unique design and pretty color. I landed in a muddy paddle, but the shoes have a large water-proof area around the toes - I didn’t get wet, and the shoes didn’t get dirty. Very happy with these.

The rubber is great. So sticky, it almost feels as if you were clipped in. If you also ride a high quality flat, you actually need to lift your foot to adjust your footing. Fit is true to size. There are two small things I don’t like: a) The shoe is quite bulky, much more like a skate shoe than a regular sneaker. b) The lacing system needs some improvement. If you like to cinch down tight, you’ll notice it to be awkward. If you prefer loose shoes, you won’t mind and might actually like it. Overall pretty good to great.

First of all, they do what they say. You stick to those pedals, and that's exactly what I bought them for. They're beefy so they fit a little boot-like. More room above my feet than I would like but I have kind of narrow feet. They don’t breathe either. But still, they're well made and if you hit me up in 5 years I’m sure I’ll still be rockin through the mud on my flats with them.

The new Karvers are great. I got them for my birthday from my boyfriend. They stay on the pedals much better than regular tennis shoes and I have a lot more confidence riding downhill in them now. The only problems about the shoe is that there isn't really any arch support, and they are made of leather.

Reviewer:jmahler from Chico, CA

Overall Rating:

The reviews are true about these shoes being sticky. Once you place them on the pedals you can’t slide them around. This was quite a change from my Vans which would slide all over. They are well made and very durable. They are a bit heavier than Vans but not by much. They are more of a hiking/biking shoe instead of a beach shoe. I have met other riders who have had these shoes over 2 years and they are still holding up. My Vans wore out and the soles were falling off in a few months. I have never seen a tongue design like this where it is integrated in to the side of the shoe. It works great, stays put, and does not slide over. If you want the best non-clip-in shoes you can get for mountain biking get some of these.

I bought these for a trip doing slot canyons in Utah in and around Zion. I wore them with a 5mm neoprene socks which many guides recommend. Bit weird looking (seriously. yellow?). I was skeptical about the shoe. They also run small. I am 12 1/2 and wore a 14 (with the neoprene sock). Our 1st canyon was 19 miles long. Some puddles, some waist deep mud, some large and small boulders and some sandy desert. The shoe performed well in all conditions. My feet were hot during the desert phase but it was over a hundred degrees. We also used these to repel off rock walls, into and out of water and waterfalls and they worked great for that as well. I couldn't think of another shoe that would have done all the above as well. Overall very happy with them... and after miles of Utah clay they are no longer yellow.

The new Sam Hill 2 Five Tens are really great. They not only look good, but work great as well. If you ride flat pedals you need to be ridding Five Tens. The sole of these shoes stick to the pedals like Velcro. I cannot say enough good things about these shoes. Just buy them you will love them!

Being new to canyoneering, I was advised to buy this boot for an AZ trip. Wearing a wet suit w/ neoprene socks, I ordered a size larger. Hiking, some climbing and transitioning between wet and dry conditions I commented to others, most of whom were the same shoe, that I'd never owned a boot so versatile. Rappelling down waterfalls gave remarkable traction and stability. Straps offered good fit throughout and they dried easily - in the desert.

Well, I’ve been looking for a decent freerunning shoe for some time now as I’ve just been using my running shoes and they never really had that much grip. My Alien Glows just got here today, so I immediately took them out for a spin. The first thing I tried was a wall-run straight up a brick wall, and I was amazed! I actually scared myself when I ended up flying another 3-4 feet higher than I usually do on wall runs, as every step solidly stuck into the wall. I’ll take ‘em on a real freerunning test drive this weekend, and I expect great things from these shoes.

Hands down the highest performance shoe on the market. If you have a wider forefoot but still like to toe-in on small footholds on overhanging problems, this is an ideal shoe. The downturn is aggressive, but not overdone like the Testarossa. I would still use these for technical face problems like Stained Glass or Soul Slinger in Bishop. The only drawback is a Five Ten heel, which is improved greatly over the Anasazi line, but leaves some dead air space. Still great for heel hooks, amazing for toe hooks and incredible on small pockets and edges.

Great shoes - very stylish and comfortable, and they have a good grip. I'm a beginner climber, and these are perfect for me. Love the velcro - it makes them easy to slide on and off. Thankfully they've stretched a little because I ordered a half size too small.

These shoes are superb! Especially if you are looking for a shoe that you can hike to the crag without suffering and running a few pitches at a comfortable grade without needing a change of footwear. Think the Exum Ridge or the like. But my favorite off label usage for these shoes? Mountain biking. I often have a need to use my mountain bike at work and sometimes ride, sometimes hike and these shoes are the perfect fit for that hybrid need. The rubber is so sticky, you almost feel "clipped in" on the bike, but can then, even with bike shouldered, hike up slabs with nary a slip! Or put down the bike and climb a desert tower!

This shoe has, literally saved my life...or at least limbs! I work a crazy job; walking the canyons at night as a wildlife biologist. And I definitely believe, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the above claim. Over the years, I've tried many shoes in the field, but for overall comfort, durability and life-saving sticky rubber soles, none compare! And they are light so half way through the night I do not feel oppressed by concrete weights on my my feet. I do find them a tad wide for my narrow high arched feet, but this was easily rectified with an additional, over the counter, inner-sole. Love these shoes and love the red color.

What a great shoe to have in the quiver! If you are a smaller climber and have felt that other variations of the 5.10 velcro models have been too stiff, then this is the shoe for you! Edgy without being unfeeling, securely fitting heel and the light color is a bonus for those hot summer days. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS AS A WOMEN'S SHOE!!! Though sized on the women's chart, if you are a low volume dude, you'll dig this shoe! I size "true" to my men's velcro-use the EU size—it's the easiest way to convert. Since getting this shoe, I've worn them on cracks, edges and sloper fests—my favorite application for this shoe so far is steeper, smeary climbing—but for me this shoe fits into the "softer" category as I am a bigger climber! The LV, The Anasazi Velcro, The Galileo...with these three velcro models, you've got it all covered!

Karvers are a good buy! I have had my pair of Women's Five Ten Karvers for a few months now and am really happy with them. I wanted them primarily for riding my mountain bike. I found that the soles of the Karver work amazingly well with my Crank Brother's pedals. They stick! The beefy inside collar looks like they would be cumbersome to put on but no worries. They slip on easily and were extremely comfortable right from the beginning with adequate room in the width of the toe area. I also liked the sturdiness and support of the outer sole. I rarely find a shoe that I like right away so these are a treat. I am using them for an all around outside shoe and have even done some short runs in them, even though perhaps they are a bit heavy for that. The only downside, the rubber soles will leave marks on your floors. So TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF IN THE HOUSE!
