Hi,

I'm going to get my self either some Five ten Freeriders or some Teva Links ( which ever come cheapest). But not sure on their sizing... I'm a 9.5 - 10 uk
Do the sizes come up small or are they fairly accurate?

  • Hey just bought some FiveTen Spitfires (not miles away from the freerider) and I am normally a 10.5, was delighted that fiveten do half sizes and bought the 10.5 accordingly; fit perfectly. So my entirely non-empirical study tells me that their sizes are pretty accurate...
  • Thanks i was thinking of going 9.5 (44) on the Freeriders so hopefully they should be ok.....

    Spot on for me too, I'm 10.5 in most other shoes, ordered 10.5 Freeriders and they fit perfectly.
  • I'm normally a 9 in regular shoes, tried a 9 in the Links and felt they were a tad too small, the 10 is a better fit.

    I tried on both five tens and tevas and my size was exactly as expected - I have the five ten karver (as I bought it before I saw the tevas in another shop)

    I found Teva shoes very narrow, I'm normally a size 10 but in the Teva's even a size 12 was a bit tight.

    Well, coming from a manufacturing background, experience tells me that, if five tens sizing doesnt conform to industry standards already then it soon will do.
    Generally though i was just making conversation! Ok with you? :lol:
