Ride Concepts Livewire DST 6.0 Flat Pedal Shoe

(discontinued)

I've  had these for a few months now and I like them a lot. My old shoes were teva links and these are better in every way. Better grip and they fit great too. The sol seems lower than the tevas, so I don't feel like I'm wearing platform shoes.  So far I have had no problems, and I recommend these. I haven't had 5.10s as they seem too wide and I hear about poor quality so I can't compare them. Lucky for me a shop near me had these to try on.

I recently had to retire a pair of Sam Hill Five ten impacts after 7 years (I only get to ride on weekends) and was dead set on just getting a newer pair of impacts when I saw these. I had heard about Ride concepts but didn’t know much about them till I was watching Skills with Phil on YouTube. They looked really good and were cheaper, plus I got 20% off so I figured I’d give it a shot. I was blown away when I first put them on my feet. When I say they were comfortable I mean they are EXTREMELY comfortable. I could see myself wearing these as an everyday shoe, which is definitely something I can’t say about my previous flat pedal shoes. They feel really nice to walk in, breathe well and feel really light weight. I’ve only pedaled around the street in them so far but so far they feel just as grippy as my impacts and I can’t wait to get them on the trails. I’ll post an update after this weekend. But so far I would 100% recommend these to anyone look for a new flat pedal shoes. Ride concepts is going to be my new go to shoe for myself and my wife.

After riding 2 days this weekend and putting in a lot of miles I can say I absolutely love these shoes. Even early in the morning when the grass was wet, through creek crossings, etc I never slipped a pedal and my feet were comfortable all day long. Even hiking up some parts and in the 90 degree weather my feet stayed comfortable and never felt extremely hot. I can’t say enough good things about these shoes!!
