Sleuth DLX Mountain Bike Shoes Men's

These are great mountain bike shoes for the casual rider that wants Five Ten soles with a casual shoe style and feel. I originally bought the Five Ten Freeriders, but I felt they looked and felt like I was wearing boots. I got these and can say they are just as grippy but they look and feel like normal shoes. For causal riders these are great, for more serious riders you may want the Freeriders for the extra durability and protection. Although looks aren't everything, they do look very good. The only thing I don't like about these are they are not real leather. Even though they look and feel just like leather, they don't breath and break in like regular shoes. Mine are fairly comfortable, but they do pinch a bit in some areas, which on leather shoes wouldn't be a problem, but on these they do not stretch out and conform to my feet.

Suede in a bike shoe? I would rate these as 5 stars for walking around shoes, but bike shoes get dirty and this suede it not washable. The description clearly says suede and i bought these anyway, but really thought they would be like imitation or somehow cleanable. My bad. I am keeping the shoe as they very comfortable, look great, and have arch support even. Perfect for walking around, but i needed bike shoes that get dirty and can be cleaned.

Nice quality, awesome fiveten sole, but dang the sizing is terrible. Normal Somba's are about a 1/2 size too big for me. these feel even bigger. Be ready to return these for a smaller size. I'd say a full size smaller "American" than your typical free rider

I bought these on a recommendation of a friend. I basically a commuter/city rider. I wanted something that would "stick" to the pedals. Didn't want to "lock in" because I am off the bike walking a lot. These have a somewhat flexible and don't look bad. Fit good.

These shoes are amazing. I didn't think they would grip my MTB pedals as well as they do. They grip the anti-skid pins perfectly and my feet stay on the pedals without slipping at all. The shoes are also comfortable and I could wear them all day as regular shoes if I chose to. I would recommend these for anyone who mountain bikes and wants extra grip while flying downhill. They also have an attractive design.

I wasn't sure what to expect with a stiff sole shoe, but this one really panned out for me. I had been riding with a pair of flat bottom skateboard shoes and they worked pretty well. These were just as comfortable as the skateboard shoes, if not more.I ride flat pedals and my skateboard shoes did a good job of keeping me there, but these shoes are next level. It felt like my feet were sticking to the pedals. No shifting around in the air. No slipping, even when wet. It's pretty much the closest thing to clipping in without clipping in.I honestly cannot say enough about these shoes. My hope is they will last forever, but nothing ever does. But I will make sure I have a backup pair or two down the road because they are worth it.

Got into gravel riding and bought a pair of these to go with chester pedals. It is sticky with the combination. However sometimes, I wished i went clipless, so that my feet is always the same place.I have wide feet, so went .5 a size up, but still wish it was a tad wider. The shoe is stiff and sometimes there is ankle rub. But overall a solid buy.

Exceptional look and grip. Order a half size larger. Not for those with wide feet or need extra ankle support, low cut. Can’t say on durability at this point. I’ll beat them up with no washing and add to my review.
