Same thread in Hybrid section:
Hello all,
I've been riding Answer Rove pedals for the last 5 months. I've been using New Balance trail running shoes, NB 510, which has lots of ridges and grooves on which the pedal pins "stick." In my endless quest for perfection, I am considering one of the Five Ten biking shoes, Freeride or Impact.

The questions I have are:
1. Any thoughts as to which Five Ten shoe is better? Please keep in mind that I have a wide foot, EE.
2. If any of you are riding Answer Rove pedals, what shoe do you use and/or recommend.

Thanks and best regards

I'm not using Answer Rove pedals, but either the impact or freerider will work.

I like to get off the bike and hike from time to time. The Campfours work for me. Never had a problem with laces or traction.

Thanks for your responses.
Best regards

Just to update:
I ordered a pair of Freeriders and a pair of Impacts from Zappos. I placed the order Tuesday afternoon and the shipment arrived yesterday, early evening! As I normally wear an 8EE in athletic shoes/sneakers, I ordered both of these in 8.5.

Both fit very well, and I tried each for 1/2 hour. I feel that the grip is the same (please keep in mind that ride a hybrid bike, on paved roads/paths or hard gravel, typically for 12-15 or 16 miles at a shot), but the Freerider is lighter and more compact if you will. In fact as many reviewers have stated, I have never experienced such grip, especially with my Answer Rove pedals!

I sent back the Impacts already and rode the Freeriders today, despite the heat, for over an hour. Wow, what a great decision and shoe!

Best regards
