I've had Northwave Tribes in the past, they were good, but I found compared to a 5.10 Freerider they didn't feel as enclosed around the ankle with less support overall, and didn't quite match the level of grip. They were also 1/2 size too small though, so that may have contributed.Also pondering Ride Concepts or Northwave (good reviews).
From MTB Direct website....not sure if trueI've had Northwave Tribes in the past, they were good, but I found compared to a 5.10 Freerider they didn't feel as enclosed around the ankle with less support overall, and didn't quite match the level of grip.

I'm looking for a pair of Freerider Pros in US11 at the mo, and damned if I can find any!
