5.10 Shoe Company Supports
Dieselbikes!
5.10 Shoe Company, a leader in the
world of rock climbing shoes has graciously decided to support our
grassroots operation here in New England. 5.10 has been know for its brand
of rock climbing shoes, but in the past 5 years, they have taken their
stealth “sticky” rubber technology and applied it to a new shoe designed
solely for mountain biking. The “High Impact” Freeride Shoe is taken the
bike industry by storm and their present here on the east coast is rapidly
growing.
The 5.10 company has provided to
Dieselbikes a complete DEMO set of “High Impact” shoes to help support our
efforts regarding local trails. We will pass these shoes out to members of
our club for them to conduct their own product assessment. Prior to this
generous support, we at Dieselbikes were conducting our own product review
for the past 3 months regarding the “High Impact” shoe. During this 3 month
period, we contacted 5.10 to express our opinions regarding this shoe.
Representatives at 5.10 were open to our comments, questions and
suggestions; explaining to us how the shoe was developed and where they
accept this market to go. 5.10 also explained they look to support
grassroots operations (biking, rock climbing, etc) throughout the world in
different capacities to help promote the respective sport. Dieselbikes can
only assume our club met some sort of grassroots criteria for this support
because we did not event attempt to solicit free product. 5.10’s decision to
support Dieselbikes was solely theirs and we want to say THANK YOU! We plan
on working closely with the 5.10 company and their New England rep in the
near future.
We have published a
3 month product
review for the “High Impact” Freeride shoe. You read this product review by
clicking on this link. A few of our club members will be riding with these
shoes during the season. If you were thinking of buying a pair of “High
Impact” Shoes and want an honest product assessment first, come on anyone of
our local group rides and ask us. We will give you the facts…not Bulls*#t!
