Hi,

I have been wearing a pair of fiveten Access approach shoes for cycling.  Well, they're actually my third pair.  And now they are Well overdue for replacing again and I can't find them anywhere.

They were great on and off the bike - being designed as a walking shoe.  Stealth sole so plenty gripping on the flat pedals too.

Any suggestions on an alternative shoe that are great on and off the bike?

Had 2 pairs that got worn daily...I wore the soles out after 6 months so gutted I needed to replace them that soon as I was hoping to get a year out them. Suspect pedals would wear them out even quicker...however, I've not found any more either.

Luckily I bought a few pairs when they were been sold off at the silly price.

Just on my second pair which are worn daily and have got a couple more in the loft so should last a few years. Not sure why they stopped doing them and haven't seen anything they do to replace them

@dickbarton aye, very soft rubber but that's what makes em grippy I guess!

@tracey good tactics!

No one can get the 5.10 rubber soles.

I have a pair which need new soles...

I still want to replace my 5:10 Guide Tennie shoes.  This is my fourth pair in over ten years - but they have a hard life.

I had my FiveTen Access shoes resoled at a local cobblers. It cost £30 and they used a Vibram branded sole that looks and feels very similar to the original. Great shoes, I'm also interested in good alternatives for when they wear out.
