#!markdown I spoke to 5.10 about the insole 'issue' at Crankworx and their response was that adding a proper insole to the shoe/s would bring the cost up. Their insole does enough to allow the shoe to be ridden and that most people who feel that the shoe would benefit from an insole have very definite feelings or knowledge of what insole works for them and will use the best insole for them. I have to say I agree with their logic. I use the Currex Bike Pro insoles and there are three variations in arch form and three different types of insole for their range. If Five Ten provide an insole with a medium arch how does that help those of us with low arches or those with a high arch. I like the heel and forefoot cushioning that comes in the Bike Pro version of my insoles, some prefer the better cushioning of the running version and some prefer the heel only version that CCM use in their high end hockey skates. We are better off with a lower price shoe than a a high price insole that doesn't suit us.
