Who should buy Five Ten District Flats
The Five Ten District Flats is one-half of the District collection. The other half is called the District Clips shoe which offers riders a clipless option to attach their shoes onto the pedals. It is a solid option if you:
- Need a shoe that is equipped with technical cycling features such as water resistance, grip, and rigidity.
- Prefer a shoe that has a reflective feature and is easy to clean.
Durable and unbeatable grip
The outsole is developed using the brand’s Marathon rubber innovation. This type of rubber ensures unbeatable grip and traction, ideal for technical terrains. Combined with a full Dotty tread pattern, the shoe provides high friction. The wearer could stick onto the pedals no matter how uneven the trail gets. It is also non-marking, which means it will not leave marks on indoor floors.
Flexibility for off-bike comfort
Crafted with one-piece molded midsoles this pair offers excellent pedal contact for better control. It is minimally engineered to cut out unnecessary weight. Combined with a medium flex construct, it provides enough flexibility for off-bike comfort.
Cleat System
As the shoe name states, this model employs a flat outsole design. It is suitable for the following flat pedal models: Crank Brothers 5050 xx, Twenty6 Predator, Nukeproof Electron, Race Face Chester, Shimano Saint MX80 Flat Pedals, DMR Vault, and many more.
Flat cycling shoes offer cyclists the freedom to plant their feet whenever they need to. This model is also relatively lighter than its clipless counterpart.
Water-resistant and fast drying
Crafted with a PU-coated synthetic leather upper, this shoe is equipped for any rugged outdoor trail. It has a water-resistant finish and dries quickly making it ideal for muddy or slightly wet mountain trails.
Durable and easy-to-clean
The long-lasting nature of leather could withstand general wear and tear from mountain biking. The material’s smooth texture also allows for easy cleaning.
Reflective accent
A reflective tab located in the rear part of the upper provides cyclists with an added safety measure. This accent reflects light to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
The shoe’s simple upper design matches with a myriad of outfits. From the trails to the workplace or school, the District Flats will look right at home. This style, combined with the technically balanced features of the sole, offers versatility in function as well.
Time-tested lace closure
Completing the upper is a traditional lace-up closure system. This secures feet in place and offers superior lockdown fit.
