Update now that I have had a chance to ride with the 5-10's on VP pedals.
Big thumbs up so far. The combination of the sticky rubber of the shoe and
the pins on the pedal give a super solid feel during all types of pedaling
e.g. cruising, high cadence, out of the saddle, and climbing.

I find that Birkenstock sandals have an amazingly sticky soul on my Thin
Gripsters. As a bonus, they are light; 532 grams for the pair. Very
comfortable!

I've been really happy with a pair of Mizuno shot-putt (general track and
field) shoes I found on Amazon - they have thin but stiff flat soles, no
tread just smooth rubber, and work great on VP Thin Gripster pedals. I can
move my feet side-to-side, and also get extra positions by moving my feet
Nice review of the shoes! You seem to have found a great solution to your
nerve and feet issues. Since I have gotten older, I find myself liking the
freedom of platforms more and more. I don't like changing into special
shoes everytime I get on the bike, as it is my "car".. The pins tear up the

Oh, yeahI use 5.10's for mountain biking coupled with flats and pins.
The stick much better than Vans type rubber soles. The are not stiff like
road shoes. You can walk in them comfortably.

As far as I know, REI started the lifetime returns. Then backcountry.com
began offering the same deal, presumably to compete with REI on their home
turf in Utah. And backcountry.com recently purchased Competitive
Cyclist, hence the lifetime returns. I've seen other online retailers also

FWIW, 5-10 is out of Redlands, CA. A local company for me, although they
maintain a VERY low profile.
Not sure why that is. But good people nonetheless.

In case your're not happy with the 5-10's ( which have been a downhiller
MTB based shoe for a long time) Specialized BG shoes come in a wide width,
have room for orthotics ( at least Cycling specific ones which I use) and

I've used toe clips with slotted cleats for all of over 50 years of riding
and was about to make the shift to clipless when an old injury and
diagnosis of RA side lined me for over ten years. In 2010 I decided I'd had
enough so I gradually eased back into riding by way of spinning. That
I'll echo the wonders of sticky rigid soled shoes coupled with flat pinned
pedals. Until I "discovered" that combo, I couldn't pedal pain-free. I've
tried a couple of Five Ten shoes, and lately a pair of Teva and another
pair of Vans MTB shoes. What I discovered is that to be comfortable on all

Thanks for posting this as well as the link to your detailed testing of the
