Five Ten kicked off in 1985 with climbing shoes, and by the 90s, the MTB community took notice of this Californian brand. Big names like Chris Kovarik and Nathan Rennie relied on the performance of the grippy, soft soles, so the manufacturer broke into the mountain bike market around the year 2000. Since Sam Hill became the Junior Downhill World Champion in 2002 with Five Ten shoes on flat pedals, there’s been no looking back. Today, riders of all types benefit from these highly developed kicks - from beginners to World Cup racers.
