Mini DBW#0000002 wants some new riding shoes for Christmas as he's outgrown his old Five Tens but I'm really, really struggling to find anything anywhere.

Five Tens seem to be thin on the ground/non-existent in smaller sizes. Theres the odd slightly goofy looking pairs from brands like Giro but not really what I'm looking for.

Anyone seen anything/got recommendations for a rad little shredder? Needs to be a size 4/37.

Ride Concepts seem to be relatively available these days. TBH we just get ours from Vinted. Not handy for christmas but a dirt cheap way of doing it instead

I'm in the same boat but slightly larger. Have found some sale options in non-five tens but not in shoes I've tried so don't have a good view of grip compared to her current freerider pros.

Tredz have these in white to bring out his inner Bruni 🙂

Leisure Lakes have a few choices. The 5-10s on there look good, no-one would know they were womens' unless you told em!

or maybe some stiff soled skate shoes, like Vans? If they are proper skateboarding shoes, most are stiff enough

I might have some virtually new 5:10s at home in about that size.  Will check tonight.

Vinted or Marketplace are where we get ours. But then our kids have only just turned 7 so it seems easier to find shoes that were grown out of quite quickly

Gah if you were after a 3.5 I've got a not so stealth ad right here! 

My 12yo has some Ride Concepts now, loves them, dry quicker than Freeriders, no grip issues.

RC are great for my kids too, but they do come up a little small. 

For growing kids, I tend to buy one size up. 

Have a set of worn once RC  in size three from this summer that taught me this. 

They are deffo too small for my son who's now 3.5

cheers all. Even RC shoes seem a bit thin on the ground at the minute in styles that I like. I'll keep looking.

No problems 

I have some new and nearly new freeriders. Kestrel and specialized H2O in the loft in size 5. All size up small so probably 4 1/2.

They wont get used so will stay up there. Just need collecting or a local meet up.
