For a long time, flat pedal shoes had to be one thing above all else: functional. The Adidas Five Ten Sleuth DLX 2 shows that things can now be done differently. Instead of a chunky bike look, Five Ten has opted for a clean, sneaker-like silhouette that is just as convincing on the trail as it is off it.

Proven grip, modern packaging 

The centerpiece remains the legendary Stealth Phantom rubber sole with Dotty profile. It provides the usual strong grip on flat pedals and ensures a secure feeling when changing direction quickly or on technical passages. At the same time, the slightly softer setup offers sufficient comfort for longer days - even off the bike. 

Rugged construction for everyday use 

The vulcanized upper material with reinforced seams increases durability and protects against abrasion without making the shoe look unnecessarily stiff. An EVA midsole provides comfortable cushioning, while the Slingshot heel offers additional support in the heel area 

A shoe for more than just the trail 

The Sleuth DLX 2 is aimed at riders who don't want to choose between performance and everyday suitability. A flat pedal shoe that meets technical requirements, but looks like a modern sneaker - and that's exactly why it looks grown-up.
