FIVE TEN NIAD LACE
After my first day of testing, it became immediately obvious that there are some big differences to this shoe. The NIAD Lace has a far superior heel cup, which doesn’t just make heel hooking significantly more secure, but also allows for greater precision and better power transfer to the toe box. The new padded tongue is made of a breathable mesh that offers additional comfort whilst helping keep the shoe breathable. A toe patch has also been added to help NIAD Lace to tackle the nuances of modern sport routes. I have also found that the handmade build quality of the new Five Ten shoes is brilliant too.
