rab shropshire Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Tarty only have them in size 48 which is fine if that's the size of your feet I would say go for it, I have the ribo lites and they are very grippy although lack ankle protection, if they still had the as1 in my size I would definitely buy some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I am more confident to try things when I know I am not going to slip off the pedals, so good shoes do make you a better rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalopS Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 No pain no gain..... -.- sprained ankles and busted shins are a pretty pointless pain to get some gain though when you can avoid it with the right footwear. I love my 5/10's! Mine are pretty shot now after a year + but they should be ok with the summer coming up I might get some more while there on sale though. I definetly feel more confident on them. Even just trying some back hops on the drive in skate shoes feels totally wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Look at 5 tens, best, grippiest soles ever. Which model do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I use the newer freerunners, but used to use the older model. I liked them for riding, but prefer the look of the new ones. They all have the same rubber on the sole, so pick which style you like really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find when I wear anything with thin soles my arches really hurt, do you know if they are any good for mid sole support?

Just got the new black freerunners they are in a different league as far as grip and comfort goes to trials specific shoes and they look a lot lot better. Win/win. They do look nice. I find when I where anything with thin soles my arches really hurt, do you know if they are any good for mid sole support? Dont worry they are a lot thicker than you think best shoes for the money you wont be dissapointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use stealth freerunners, they are ace but I will be getting the thinner soled ones next like Savage has been using. I think it is this one, I shall ask him next time I get a chance. I think James Hyland was wearing them also when he was down this way but not 100% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer something i haven,t quite thought about till now is correct balance of sole , too tougher/hard sole resulting in not being able to feel the pedals enough and opposite being too soft where you can feel the pins etc I once a ride a leeds ride in pumps oh boy were my feet hurting next day are the free runner ones available in black?# Edit: sorry did,t registered that line lol Edited February 23, 2011 by Mtchell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
