TooFatforEpic Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 With 5 10s seemingly no longer available, does anyone know know where I might find decent alternative flat pedal shoes in Cape Town?
Me rida my bicycle Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Chat to the guy's at Knipe Racing they or partner of them bringing in great grippy shoes similar quality as 5 10 but at much better prices.
Me rida my bicycle Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Or try Spaz they also have a great range.

Letum911 Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Swing past City Rock in Cpt. Their Randburg branch does stock 510 climbing shoes, they might be able to order you a set, but they also stock Addidas' Terrex range with the Conti tread (which many trials riders use).
Thermophage Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Swing past City Rock in Cpt. Their Randburg branch does stock 510 climbing shoes, they might be able to order you a set, but they also stock Addidas' Terrex range with the Conti tread (which many trials riders use).CR doesn't have the rights to import the 5.10 MTB stuff and their Terrex is not the riding version, it's more the approach and trail version so the sole is completely wrong.You can get 5.10 MTB stuff in CT, Get Stoked distribution are the importers (unless they recently stopped) and are based in CT.However you have 2 other solid options (as mentioned prev), both the Spez 2FO flat shoe and the Ion Raid Amp. The Spez you can see at any Spez dealership and the Ion are at The Brand Stable who have an outlet store in Blouberg.I had the older model 2FO and they worked but were enormous and klunky. The new 2FO are sexy, but I went with the Ion's and they are holding up well (although I hate to say the upper is not holding up as well as the old 2FO). The Spez sole I had dies fast, but apparently the rubber has changed. The Ion sole i snow about 10 months old and I reckon it's got another 4 or so before it will need a sole replacement.The joys of riding flats...you kill shoe soles FAST.
TooFatforEpic Posted July 29, 2019 Author Posted July 29, 2019 Thanks everyone for your input. My understanding is that the 5 10s are no longer being imported and they have limited sizing left.The Brand Stable has confirmed they have a range of Ions at the Blouberg store, Specialized have the 2FOs and The Bike Park at Uitsig have the Bontrager Flatlines available. At least I have some options to choose from.Â
SpecialK Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 also look at pinned.co.za for online options. If you have 5 10s currently and know your preference and sizing, they have quite a few still available. Thanks everyone for your input.

Thermophage Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 What is the pricing - Spaz vs Ion?Both are the R2100 region

My money is on Adidas SA not even bothering with it as the units will be too little.
Eddy Gordo Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 I think Get Stoked will be getting in Ride Concepts.Â
