Hmmmm. Do I want the Trailcross Mid Pro with the laces or the Freerider Pro Mid with the velcro?
I might go a size up and keep them specifically for use with waterproof socks.
Ordered some Freerider Pros for £57 delivered.
Cheers both for bringing those to my attention.
i wish my son was more into riding - i'd love to get him that status!
DrP
Wow.
Do a little thought exercise and imagine they have sold out, how do you feel Cokie? Gutted or relieved?
If the former, you know what to do 😀
I own these "Freerider Pro Mid with the velcro",
really good at keeping the bits out of the top of the shoes, but they look weird if you wear shorts, super easy to put on.
but now I have just bought 3 cheap pairs
<p>That Cube Analog looks a good deal..</p>

Obviously buy it and bully him into using it, like making them eat sprouts or do ballet because you never got to do it as a child it's the main benefit of being a parent.
I've gone all girlie with a pair of Trailcross and Freerider pro
It's not what you spend it's what you save. 😉.
Cheers
Pair of trailcross xt's for £60 posted, that I didn't need.
Oh well time to have a clear out of the old riding shoes
They've got the Wahoo Roam for about £148 after discount as well. Not clear if it's the V1 or 2.
I bought the super Freerider Pros.
Pair of trail cross mids and a pair of trail cross clips ordered. Cheers for the psa.
That Canondale HT at 50% off before the 20% extra looks like a bargain too. If only I hadn’t spent all my money on tyres…!
Wanted to try some trail cross clip ins for a while, £77 delivered is worth a punt.
The Status 160 for £1600 is really tempting I have to say, as a 'base' to swap all my fancy parts over maybe...!? Could be out riding a 160mm travel bike by the weekend!?

Thinking of swapping from the Stage Evo?
Shiny white freerider pro £57, couldn't resist, quality PSA 👍
Right I'm indecisive so I've ordered both pairs of mid-tops. I've informed the Mrs that one pair is going back. Which may or may not happen.
Hmm Diverge as new winter bike / commuter?
That Canondale HT at 50% off before the 20% extra looks like a bargain too.
I was looking at those thinking they'd be great as the next bike for my kids, but ST length is massive relative to other measurements, etc. Shame as that's a great price for the spec.
Edit: size small Cannondale has 35mm longer ST but 10mm SHORTER reach compared to mini-a11y's current Vitus Nucleus 26 kid's bike. Total no-go given I can only just squeeze in a 110mm dropper on the Vitus at the moment.
Cheers @tracey cracking psa .
Ditto above gone for some bright shite freerider pros .
Couldn't previously justify buying some shiny white for one ride freerider pros but at 57 noyes delivered I'll happily get them off white after one ride
Hmm Diverge as new winter bike / commuter?
Well no, I've got a commuter. The one I just ordered will have to do proper gravel duty. 
Does anyone know if its got routing for a stealth dropper?
Why did spell checker make me swear lol
Bright white should of been doh!
You must've added it to your words and use it a lot more than the word white.😀
I bought the super Freerider Pros.
Was not expecting to see that. Please film explaining them to the missus and the boy 😉
The pink ones with the cartoon boobs were designed by Vero Sandler for cancer awareness I think.

Exactly why I bought them. I know Tahnee has rocked them a few times too. I felt they were cool as well as a good cause/talking point.

Limited-edition breast cancer awareness graphics elevate the mountain bike shoes that set the standard for flat pedal control and casual comfort. The adidas Five Ten Freerider Pro supports everything you do on your bike and off. Designed in collaboration with freeride athlete Veronique (Vero) Sandler, this shoe tells the awareness story with unmistakable pink details. Just the right level of casual style makes them your go-to shoe on and off the bike. They have all the same features as the traditional Freerider Pro, including Stealth S1 rubber and a Dotty tread for pedal control, plus an improved impact-resistant toe box. Proceeds from the sale of these shoes support breast cancer awareness.
@noeffsgiven quite possibly ....crops up and is used in work emails when the ceo asks what the weather is like here from his villa in Spain
They’ve got the Wahoo Roam for about £148 after discount as well. Not clear if it’s the V1 or 2.
I’d be interested in knowing too…can anyone confirm?
No clearance discount on the Status now, they must be selling
That Canondale HT at 50% off before the 20% extra looks like a bargain too. If only I hadn’t spent all my money on tyres…!
That's caught my eye too, also get 1.05% if you go through topcashback.
some bargains on the five tens, got some spare mid pro as my current pair 6m old aren't gonna last forever. :0)
looking on hukd, seem to be alot of complaints orders arent shipping smoothly, missing items or not shipped at all in over 2 weeks..
those impact pro's are damn cheap for the downhiller, or someone who wants to kick doors down.
tried a pair a few years ago and they weigh a metric tonne.
I was looking at those shorts in the post above but can't work out what they are from the description.
Brilliant PSA
Ordered a couple pairs of fivetens 👍

Endura MT500 Waterproof
https://www.endurasport.com/mt500-waterproof-short-ii-black/12923586.html
I'm out of touch on sizing. I've got some 6 year old EPS mids, 5 year old Freeriders, and 2 year old Freeriders, and 3 year old Freerider Pros, all 44.5.
Guessing current EPS Mids are similar sizing?
As I understand it the Trailctoss are a bit narrower?
Is it the Hellcats that are similar for to Freeriders?
So many bargain related questions 😀
Also worth mentioning that if anyone uses Topcashback you can get 3% cash back as well as the discounts. It's not much on some shoes but better than nothing!
Did anyone get one of the super-cheap Statuses?
I had one in my basket but bottled it.
another option on cashback, i'm tending to use vouchercodes these days, spend 2x £20 on tredz/wiggle/crc/evanscycles et al
between mon-sun in the week and you get £5 amazon voucher.
How do 5tens size up, im normally a a ten ( in shoe size obvs, im a 7 at best otherwise:-)

Depends which model.
I'm a 9.5 in civvy shoes, but 10.5 in Freerider Pros.

I always go a size larger, especially if you are wanting to wear thick socks
@speshpaul, if you wear adidas, then on trailcross go for the same size or up 1/2 if you want a thicker or waterproof sock. the sleuth / element ones are true to size from memory.
if you dont wear adidas, then try a 1/2 or full size up on regular.
I'm 11 in normal shoes, 11.5 in freerider pros.
Just ordered some 11.5 Adidas trailcross for winter, hope they fit.
I'm usually a 10 in Five Tens and I've gone for 10.5 in the hope that I can squeeze in my Sealskins socks. Hopefully it's enough room.
£52 quid for Impact Pros? That's mental! 12.5 pair for me, 14.5 pair for my large footed riding pal. Superb Tracey, thank you for the PSA.
Are the five ten range good in clip in version as well? I know they are well regarded for flats. I am looking at some for gravel/Road combined using xt spd pedals. I have some older shimano which are OK but wanted to try something a bit more comfy which these look. I guess I'm spending most the time locked into the pedals but I prefer to have a recessed clear like the mtb one to be honest for this type of riding and use. Are the hell at or freerider good options?
Did anyone get one of the super-cheap Statuses?
Not the status and not 20% off but whilst perusing Evans I noticed a whopping 50% off Trek Rail 7 which I may or may not have accidentally bought last night.
I blame the covid fever dreams. I wasn’t even in the market.
@jawildcard
I primarily wear hellcats, for trail type stuff with clip in platform type pedals and they work very well. i also wear them on my gravel bike with the shimano cageless spd's (520) and again have had no complaints the sole still mates up nicely.
I'm sorely tempted by a pair of kestral boas for the additional stiffness for the less technical stuff.
That Rail is ridiculous money.
i went to buy one, no mediums.. kind of glad....
That Rail is ridiculous money
I know.
Weirdly the other colour costs £2.3k more (i.e. only 10% off RRP)
Holy Moly. I'm in no position to pounce on a purchase presently. But this time next year, I'll be ready and waiting.
I may also have grabbed a medium Rail. Looking forward to my first eMtb experience. My brother bought a Levo alloy comp which was also cheaper than we could find at any other retailer.
Shame we've put 7K in Mike Ashley's pocket.

That was the first thing my wife said. And she is correct.
My freerider pros arrived today, didn't think they'd be that quick, all good, they don't look like they've been tried on, I was a little worried by the sports direct style stickers on the box but they're in perfect condition, even the box is unbashed. Went half a size up and the fit is spot on.
Shame we’ve put 7K in Mike Ashley’s pocket.
There can't be a lot of margin (if any) left on those 50% off Rails.
Looks like the Status are now excluded from 20%?
I think my shoes must be lost somewhere. I haven't heard a peep about my order yet.
Cheers for your thoughts, yes hellcat look good, similar to my five ten sleuth style I think only with the clip option. The trailcross look cool but I hear they are ideal if your are spending a lot of time wearing them off bike as opposed to clipped in. I also see they do a kestrel pro which isn't in this offer but looks like a full on xc hard stiff sole version. I guess I want the best of both worlds but ideally some warmth with the colder weather, my shimano are very cold with the open cleat area below meaning cold feet even with taping it up and wearing thermal socks and overshoes haha but that's deep winter of course.
^^
the shimano insulated goretex boots are a game changer 🙂
Trailcross delivered in 24 hrs, despite only paying standard delivery. Freeriders and shorts are with evri, so will be delivered tomorrow I guess

So f@#£#k to that, I'd rather lick p1$$ off a hot kettle than give any of my £££ to him.
If I can buy gear cheaper off him than anywhere else, he can have my money
I stopped on as I was walking past on the way back from the opticians. Some nice eBikes reduced from £3999 to £2700, also a Burley Travoy for £235.
Cheers Tracey just bought a specialized diverge for £720 absolute steal and some 5:10s
But seriously what has he done that hasn't already been done by a million other people and is still been doneby a million people who dont get a mention .
He donated 55k at a charity auction I was attending as a survivor telling my story raising money for children's cancer hospice in Middlesbrough
By the end of the evening he'd donated 110k and asked the signed shirt boots and signed autographs be resold .
There are plenty more worthy of your hatred if you'd like to actually have a list
If you don't like giving money to Mike Ashley (who does?) the Status is on offer on the Spesh website.
Very tempted by the sub 3k Trek rail, must resist...
I think my shoes must be lost somewhere. I haven’t heard a peep about my order yet.
Evri innit.
Mine came yesterday lunchtime.
Got the Evans dispatch email this morning.
😀

Don't resist. It's Friday. It's payday (probably). You're worth it.
(Trying to justify my own purchase by encouraging unified group-think... 😉 )
I opted to pick them up from my local Evans because I live around the corner and didn't want them being delivered to someone's back garden or recycling bin. I've had no order confirmation or any contact from Evans at all.
