WIN Free FiveTen Shoes From Chain Reaction

by 121

Fancy a pair of free FiveTens?

Forum partners Chain Reaction have a giveaway exclusively for our members (free and full). And if your existing shoes are looking a little worse for wear then your chances of bagging a pair just went right up. Here’s what the Chain Reaction folks have to say to you..

This time of year is about tweaking our bike a bit differently, carrying out a few fixes after all the
summer riding, and preparing the bike for harsher weather. It also means swapping out some of our gear for wetter months. And a big part of that is our shoes.

After all those big summer rides, we can find our soles have taken a beating, the upper is starting to
show signs of wear, and… we all know about the smell.

Anyway, the good news is, we’ve got loads of the latest shoes from adidas FiveTen, and we want to
give them away to you guys at Singletrack. We don’t have infinite pairs, so we want to give them to the most deserving.

All we want you to do is post a pic of your knackered kicks on this thread – the more beat up the
better. Those with the scruffiest shoes will get a pair of free and fresh FiveTens from us.

Alright then – shows us your shoes…

Remember, full members can upload images directly to the forum from their devices. Free members will need to upload images to a hosting service and then link to that image.

    Three levels of Specialized… still wear them all. The red ones are probably past it to be fair.

    These two pairs of shoes have been loved.

    My lake shoes have now been retired to roller duty. They fell apart on a ride. They were repaired with zip ties mid ride. Then glued and zip tied when I got home. That was a few years ago and still going strong.

    My other pair are Scott heater boots from a psa on here years ago. I liked them so much I bought two pairs. The sole has started to come off after pushing over the big pass on the badger divide. Keep meaning to fix them.

    There are some mightily impressive shoes out there in this thread! Apart from the soles on my shoes, externally they appear to be ok, but inside I’ve rotted them…nothing to see until you start removing bits to get a good look inside the shoes.

    I’m very impressed at some of the battle scars these shoes are carrying around though.

    I think these have been used by 3 members of the family now. Pictures don’t do justice to how thin the soles are now and that hole is all the way through to your socks.

    My Teva Links have been serving me well for almost 10 years now – but their waterproof feature is sadly no longer.IMG_3797IMG_3799IMG_3803

    I honestly can’t work out why these are no longer waterproof.

    Still rocking my old Greg Minnaar shoes after years (do they even still make them?) even though I’m back to riding flats nowadays. Although they do let water in through the clear slots and take a while to dry.IMG_8874

    I’ll post a pic of mine when I get home but after looking at some of the biohazards above I reckon mine still have life in them.

    The pin locator hole corresponds with a similar hole in the sole of my foot.

    @ADS2910 – Those Tevas are the only shoes that nearly swayed me from 5Ten.

    Crumbs there are some trashed shoes.

    My Spesh 2fo’s i thought were bad but maybe not.

    Lefty not attached to the sole for the first 5cm and after a crash the only replacement boa i could find didn’t match.

    Cleats are now proud of the sole so slippery as flip.

    Keep meaning to invest in some flats/five10’s.

    Bad shoe is bad

    Not mine but my 12yr old sons shoes. He struggles with shoes and clothes with the fit and feel of stuff so literally wears stuff till they fall off him, can’t be comfy riding a set of flats with these!

    This would be great timing for a replacement of my now ‘waterproof-sock-required’ soles.

    Here are my SH-M220 carbons from 2001 or thereabouts

    they’re old and knackered but I only stopped wearing them because I’m in worse condition than they are and they are so stiff they were making my feet hurt

    2014 vintage vxi elements. Not as element proof now that the soles are through to insole (and are generally half falling off) but the uppers aren’t bad considering the age.

    Liked and shared. I really hope I win because my wife’s, cousin’s cat was a bit unwell and he is getting married and can’t afford any shoes so it would really make our year. 🙏🙏🙏
