Five Ten Kestrel Black Solar Men's Shoes Review

! As soon as I took the shoes out of the box, I was sold! I actually ordered several pairs and they were from different brands. This particular pair is of such good quality, design and durability! I'm so impressed I decided to order another pair in a different color. I wear a 14 US/49 EU and was comfortable, but I feel like I should have ordered a size 50 EU. !4.5 US would be almost ideal. I have to keep in mind that these shoes are not made for walking (long distances). I didn't decide to…

The shoes are incredibly comfortable. Unlike other cycling shoes I've worn, I forget I'm wearing them because they fit my feet perfectly.

Fits like a glove and is so comfortable. I have a pair of Sidi Dragoons and they kill my legs. I was so glad to ride in a comfortable pair of shoes. The first day I put them on I rode for four hours and my feet felt great.

I like SPD pedals and shoes even though I ride a road bike. These are fairly comfortable shoes, and while they're not as efficient as actual running shoes and road bike pedals, they're certainly a pleasant and comfortable way to get around.

I have no comparison to these shoes but I really wish they had better insoles. This is an easy/cheap fix, replace them with new ones. The sole is definitely stiff, as it should be. The build quality looks good and they are easy to clean. I use them with a caged Shimano SPD XT and have had no issues with engagement or disengagement. There would be a five star rating if they had better insoles.

I have some foot issues and it was very comfortable when doing long trips - 60 to 80 miles a day with the rear panniers. Recommend this. The only thing I added to them was a couple of custom insoles I had on hand and they were an improvement on the snug fit with the original insoles.

No heel hold. They are too big for the size I usually wear. Should have returned it. Super tough and the velcro is nice. If they fit I would give them 4-5 stars.

I had a Hellcat with the same size flat pedal. The clips are a bit stiffer, so too tight. Great shoes though Takes time to break in!

While they were taken for a trip. Very comfortable and perfect fit. The fastening screws from my XTR Clipless also fit perfectly. As long as they are holders.

I read reviews and see complaints that the shoes are too big or too small. I ordered a pair of shoes that are 1/2 size larger than my feet and they were too small.

The shoes arrived earlier than expected and they are really great shoes. The clamp bolts need to be tightened very well or they will loosen after a full day of riding.

The Five Ten had great colorways for women, but it seems men only want black or charcoal mountain bike shoes. Strangely, when they make something colorful for men, that shoe sells out instantly. I don't think anyone at Five Ten pays attention to that! I returned them and bought a great pair in brown from another company.

Great looking shoes. Excellent grip when hiking. Very stiff, excellent power transmission. As mentioned, the inside is very chafing near the ankle and causes a lot of discomfort when pedaling. So much so that I had to cut off that part of the shoe. I cut it right away. Haven't ridden since taking it off but hopefully that will take some of the pressure off. But damn, these shoes look good

Excellent support. Especially with the Velcro on the calipers, which I can actually close and then loosen on more advanced trails and take it home.

Shoes took a short break in the time of 5 rides. After a period of breaking in I can say that these are by far the most durable and comfortable shoes I have ridden in, not to mention the price I could buy them for! I think being 8.5ft tall is worth it.

I'm a size 11 and this is the first mountain bike shoe that fits me. The toe box is quite wide and my heels stay in place. Unfortunately, the tongue of the shoe is quite thin, which leads to some pressure. I don't notice it when driving though.

These are my first cycling shoes, the sole is hard but you can walk in them without any problems. At first they feel uncomfortable, but soon you can walk without much effort. It fits perfectly on my Shimano clip. They are made by adidas who impressed me with their comfort.

They are very narrow. I even ordered a size up as I have wider feet. I could squeeze my foot in it, but he knew right away that it would be extremely uncomfortable for a ride longer than five minutes.

Great shoes. Contactless is the way to go, excellent power transfer to the pedal. Don't look silly in boots when you get off your bike.

Nice shoes but they sent me a different color than the one I chose, I didn't want to exchange them. They are very stiff and make quite a bit of noise on hard surfaces.
