Teva vs Five Tens

[Catrin]

Hmmm; you also likely would have had been able to keep both feet on the pedals (and had level pedals) if you'd been out of the saddle in a ready/go position, which I'd suggest you arguably should have been if you were going down a rocky descent with a turn a turn or two. In the past, you've expressed some hesitation about riding out of the saddle. Did the clinic make you feel more secure with that?

Oh I can do it, the problem is that on the trails I ride that I am quite comfortable staying in the saddle and thus forget to do it until I am down the descent...I DO shift my weight back however and and and and and...yes, I need to practice more at doing this. The instructor following me said I did a pretty good job at keeping my pedals level. She was coaching me as we rode but she was focusing on other things. I CAN, however, now ride Limekiln in the middle chain - I wasn't brave enough to do that last year

Oddly enough I seemed to be riding better this weekend after 8 months off the mtb than I was before my injury last year. Not that I am complaining but that was a surprise.

I've heard women say that they think that the Five Tens run true to size but I had to size up a full size over what I normally wear for athletics. That equated to 1 1/2 sizes larger than I wear for everyday. My foot is a little wide but I can wear most everyday shoes in a B width. I think that you'll just have to try them on to see.

This is good to know, when the time comes I will see if Zappos has the model I decide upon. I have a narrow foot but not extremely so.
