OFF-WHITE x Nike Dunk Low 'University Red'

Reviewer D Templeton

First off, I wear a size 14 in most shoes, including Five Ten Freerider mountain biking shoes. These are only made up to a 13. I heard that they come a little large though and decided to try them out. I'm not sure if this is true across all sizes, but the 13 is more like a 13.75. They ended up fitting me very well. So, be careful on the size.

The main reason I bought these though is that I LOVE the Stealth rubber soles on my MTB shoes and wanted to try out a pair of hiking/approach shoes from Five Ten. Even though the tread pattern doesn't look terribly aggressive, these are the best gripping trail shoes I've owned. They are comfortable all around with a reasonably wide toe box and good cushioning at the top of the tongue and under the ankle. The soles are stiff and took a little while to break in. I still wouldn't say they've "softened" all that much though. The bottom of the shoe is pretty stiff and the inner sole is not very cushy. They are comfortable for wearing all day though. I recently traveled with them for 10 days as my only pair of shoes both walking around town and hiking. So, they're fine. If you like a soft sole or lots of padding though, these are definitely not for you.

The only complaint I have is that these shoes do not breathe well at all. They're mostly a soft leather with a little bit of mesh. The mesh is thick though. My feet get hot in lots of shoes, but these are very hot. The flip side is that they do a decent job of keeping moisture out. During rainy hikes, my feet have stayed pretty dry. For me, the durability is nice. I've beaten up a lot of shoes hiking and I can tell these are going to hold up well. They're very well made and solid.

Overall, I really like these shoes. You just have to be good with the tradeoffs. They choose durability, grip and stiffness over being lightweight and breathable. And I feel like I should repeat that they are not cushy. They have stiff soles, but flex enough to walk around in all day no matter what the terrain. Give them a try if that's what you're after.

Comfortable, no need to breaking, look good, wear satisfactorily.

That's different from other folks with "regular" feet. The bones below my toes are exceptionally wide and yet I have a very narrow heel so many shoes just don't fit me well at all. If I get the toe box area wide enough to accommodate my foot, then the heel area is too wide. I usually use those sticky pads in the heel area to make it snug on my heel. Otherwise I walk out of the shoe. This pair, because they go above my ankle, bypasses the too wide of a heel section. I put on a pair of medium socks (not too thin or too thick), loosened the laces and did have a tiny bit of trouble getting my entire foot in the shoe, but once I did, I laced the shoes up medium-tight and walked around. Usually with shoes I have an initial bit of discomfort - the tops or the soles are stiff or my big toe hits an odd spot inside the shoe or whatever. Not so with these shoes! Aside from listening to a bit of interesting creaking/squeaking from the tops of the shoes when I took a step, the toe box area seemed wider than average shoes and my foot felt very comfortable in the area with no squeezing or discomfort in any way. My heels did not seem to slip around inside the shoes at all, maybe because these shoes hold the ankle fairly still. The leather seems to be of high quality - it has that good smell of quality leather and while leather itself doesn't breathe, the ventilation holes on the top of the toe box and around the ankle area seem to be able to keep the foot cool. I wanted this pair because my left ankle often tries to give way on me due to an old injury. I had a tendon tear so badly several years ago that when it tore, it make a loud crack sound that made me believe I'd broken something. It took over 12 weeks just to be able to put weight on that foot again. Tendons never completely heal so when the weather changes or I do too much walking in flip-flops, that tendon starts giving way and is very painful. These shoes that go over the ankle should help keep the tendon from giving way and/or causing me discomfort. Nice pair of shoes that I will get a great deal of use out of!

My son age 14, loves these. They fit well, AND YOU CAN PULL THEM ON WITHOUT MESSING WITH THE SHOE LACES. this means you can double tie them, and they do not become undone on you in the middle of the school day.
And they look really nice.

Reviewer Stacey Both

Kind of tight in the toes

Reviewer Shelley L Patterson

I love how subtle these are. Not overly loud or flashy. They do wear out too quickly.
