WIN Free FiveTen Shoes From Chain Reaction

Worn through and holes on both, added sheep poo. Seems to have filled in one of the holes which is good!

my wife’s, cousin’s cat was a bit unwell and he is getting married

I hope he’s marrying another cat

Surely only full members can enter? 😉

Kept glueing these back together but gave up when both soles cracked, might as well have ridden in bare feet once that happened!

Used some Crank Brother sole savers for the last few months but it’s the second pair of shoes I’ve ruined, my lovely Lake winter boots died after my cleats literally ground through the sole to the cleat plate.

As a result, I’m ending 20 years of using Time Atac and switching to Shimano! (And to flats on another bike)

The last picture is me wearing the holy shoes this Thursday, in the peeing rain and clarted with mud! Fun times… but they have seen better times… 

To be honest, I don’t deserve a free pair, nothing wrong with these really, been shoe gooing them for years…although that’s JB Weld on the heal section.

My Shimano shoes. Still in use while my 510s are drying out, but on the verge of bin.

My poor child’s riding shoes – practically sandals 😭

My Sunday shoes (they’re holy).

About 25 yrs old (the shoes that is – I’m a bald middle aged biker with knackered shoes). Luckily I’m based in the South East, so 95 % of the time I get back from a ride with dry feet.

Mine look alright on the outside, but the foot bed inside is disintegrating!

skate shoes because they were on sale, about 5 years old, worn through to plastic on both heels and sole about to split – will most likely be replaced with other cheap skate shoes when these finally die

This took more attempts than I am proud of to get this pic uploaded

Lost shoes? Just follow your nose.

Dynamic toe flaps to help control your speed on steep descents

Unrivalled pedal feel

you people are all disgusting. I feel filthy just looking through all the pictures. 🙂

Just be thankful you can only see and not smell them. Imagine bottling, distilling and super concentrating the combined essence of every STWers rancid riding shoes! 😮🤢

Probably 15 years old now. They only get used locally when it’s dry because

A, they’re as waterproof as a sponge and

B, the soles have worn to the point that if you have to walk, you’re walking on the cleat which isn’t much fun on rocks…

Ridiculously comfy though

Here’s my entry, my Five Ten Camp Fours. Sadly they are no longer available otherwise I would buy a pair in an instant.

Afternoon everyone. Wow, really enjoying seeing all your pics of battered footwear, thanks for sharing so far. We’ll be picking some winners tomorrow…

Top picks right now are:

• rickmeister’s pin rash-inducing pair
• jwreeder1’s shockingly worn pair
• nedrapier’s Five Tens which should immediately be put to gardening duties
• butcherboy – no words
• hitcho – five years of use, that’s good going (love the tiles)
• purplepigtails – impressive durability, love the recent ride pic
• serkuss – reaction shot is a cracker! Love the minimal key hook too

Kudos points to:

• doomanic’s old school Shimano MX-70s (loved them!)
• reeksy (bin the red ones ASAP!)
• luketracey for their optimism
• Shoe Goo (maybe we should stock it…!)

See you tomorrow 🙂

Hi these are my current shoes, both getting tired.

the tape keeps the sole on and extra duck tape applied for d we inter to keep toes dry. 

Pah. I didn’t win. I hope your cat pisses in your shoes.

I was going to post a pic of my FiveTens I rode in yesterday as they have rips all over them but seeing some of the items removed from landfill above, I don’t think I will bother, mine must have at least a decade left in them.
