Individual test: Five Ten Maltese Falcon shoes
With the Maltese Falcon, the platform pros are launching an SPD-compatible touring shoe onto the market.

It impresses above all with its comfortable fit and extremely grippy Stealth outsole. A raised ankle area could provide a little more protection, especially for all-mountain use. Suitable for platform and clipless pedals - which makes the shoe almost a little too sticky.
