Following the success of the Flat pedal shoes no way around Five Ten O'Neal followed suit in 2012 and launched two new flat pedal shoes on the market - the Stinger and the Trigger. Their sticky "Honeyrubber" sole is designed to offer ultimate grip on the pedals. The honeycomb-like pattern in the shoe sole provides extra grip. A stable midsole also ensures sufficient stability. After the first ride tests in the next few weeks, we will be able to say more about whether the Honeyrubber sole can keep up with the chewing gum-like Stealt Rubber from Five Ten.
The upper material is made of soft leather with double stitching for reinforcement, which makes the shoe not only comfortable to wear but also particularly robust. This makes the Stinger a high-performance, affordable and stylish shoe that can also be worn off the bike.
The Trigger with its high shaft, on the other hand, loves the harder pace. Thanks to the high shaft, ankles are perfectly protected from the sharp pins of flat pedals in the bike park or when downhill biking. However, the Trigger is also heavier than the Stinger.
Both models are available in the four colours black, white, green and red in sizes 39 to 47 and at a price of 99.90 EUR. Order and information at www.2wheel-distribution.com
