•used only twice. practically new shape. no rips or stains. After four years of development with input from riders Nico Vouilloz and Lars Sternberg, the Kestrel, Five Ten's new clipless shoe, is scheduled for release in April of 2015. While its styling may be low key, the shoe is meant to be a top level performer, and uses a carbon infused shank to create the stiffest shoe in the company's lineup. The sole is comprised of two rubber compounds, with softer Mi6 rubber in the toe and heel for walking comfort, and a harder C4 compound around the cleat area to reduce the drag when clipping in. In addition to a hard outer toe box area, a small rubber bumper is in place to provide further protection, and a mesh upper liner and perforated tongue are designed to allow for maximum breathability on those hot summer rides. Five Ten has gone with a ratcheting BOA closure system for the Kestrel, which allows for easy, one handed tightening and loosening of the shoe. MSRP: $180.
