tinha uns adidas velhos e escorreguei com eles, e decidi adicionar um segundo par destes que agarram bem. Our mission is to share this sport—without commercial influence—through photos, essays and long-form stories that make you think, “I need to go for a ride.

I also haven’t noticed any premature rubber wear that some riders mention with the higher-end Stealth soles. And after spending a few months riding in the Trailcross LT, I found that the shoe was, in effect, everything that Five Ten said it was. Overall, the Powerline’s traction on the pedals is quite good, but given that it uses Ride Concepts’s highest-grip rubber compound (DST 4. And thanks for the heads up — I know David Golay is a huge fan of the Shimano AM9 for clipless use, so I’ve always wanted to try some of their flat-pedal alternatives (just haven’t been able to try any yet). A suede and canvas upper complements the Five Ten Sleuth MTB Shoes, whilst it's non-marking Stealth® S1 rubber outsole allows for all-around durability and grip.As I touch on below in my review of the Sleuth DLX, I’ve actually ended up preferring the Powerline for most of my rides because it does not grip quite as much, but still grips as much as I personally want.

Another benefit from the Marathon™ sole for riders who wear their shoes throughout the work or school day is in the non-marking nature of the rubber. When I read about the D30 inserts in the insole, I thought it sounded gimmicky, and to what extent they deserve credit for the cushioning is hard to separate from the rest of the shoe overall. Even though the Sleuth has a more casual appearance, it packs more riding-focused features like an EVA midsole and dotty Marathon sole.

I’ve heard outside reports of sole durability being a concern, but I haven’t had any issues in over two years now. I tested the drying ability of the Trailcross LT after riding through a creek and standing water on the trail and found that, indeed, it was far superior to any other skate-style bike shoe I’ve owned.
