5:07 minor correction: The D30 patches are not situated "heel and toe" (in the outsole); they are applied within the removable insole at the "heel and the ball of the foot."
It’s 2020, the fact that any riding shoe comes with laces and not straps or a boa system is ridiculous. It’s also ridiculous that every shoe looks like a skate shoe from 2000. Also, these are from the guys that started 5ten since they sold to Adidas.
While we've seen a growing number of options with Boa and straps, many riders still prefer laces over those options. Look at any number of activity-specific shoes and you'll still see a lot of lace options since they are simple, light, and highly adjustable depending on how your lace them. Ultimately, it is about personal preference and we welcome more variety and options for people to choose from. As for looking like a skate shoe, we're curious what look you'd prefer for riding shoes? Keep Pedaling!
quinny yes, same guys. After they sold five ten to adidas, they had to wait a few years before creating competition, that time has passed and RC is going full force.
Thanks for the great overview, Seth!

I love my rc shoes! I probably use my coasters the most though! Great for just hanging out a riding around the neighborhood!
Just bought the tnt model hope they are good, just read this and apparently is the guys that started 510
Im loving my powerline. Similar to livewire but high enough to protect your ankle. Great grips and i like the looks also
Also the case: 5Ten customers increasingly unhappy with the direction that parent corporation Adidas is taking the company.
Please comment on the sole rigidity or flexibility of the TNT model. How does it compare to the first two models you reviewed?
ive never had my laces hit my spokes before :D
How do these compare to 510 fit? I wear 290 mm in 510 shoes but that varies between brands.
ok i dont want too hate but who is going to get those slides?

Jenson USA a shoe that resembles a trail runner or similar outdoor style shoe is preferable.
Is it really the guys that started 510?
quinny yes, same guys. After they sold five ten to adidas, they had to wait a few years before creating competition, that time has passed and RC is going full force.
@@ttengineer404 so they are a good sole on the RCs?
