I need to replace my pros, but before getting another set I was wondering if there is anything nicer at the same price point?
No
No , best shoes out there .
I prefer my new north wave clan over my previous 5:10.
I wish 5:10s were basically my Merrell walking shoes with their stealth rubber.
5:10's are pretty bloody awful on all the metrics apart from the most important one: sticking to flats. But in every other measure my walking shoes win hands down - they look better, they're (way) more comfortable, they're cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter (considerably so - combo of them + brigdale socks and I'll happily hike for 8 or 9 hours in deep snow), they never stink after wearing them for a solid week and, importantly, they dry out overnight (whereas unless they're propped upside down on radiators and/or stuffed full of newspaper my 5:10s can hold onto water for more than a week).
There's absolutely a gap in the market for much better quality.
No there isn’t really. Unless you prioritise quicker drying over grip -
I’m which case there is.
I have some Adidas terrex for bad weather flats - but they just don’t grip as well as my freeriders.
Many thanks for the replies.
The Clans seem to get good reviews, might give them a try!
£72 on crc, as others have said I wish mine were as warm as my climaproof terrex tivid Boots 3 rides with just a merino sock and I’ve come home with warm and dry feet.
New five ten terrex trail cross high top release is imminent according to an enduro mag article oct2019
