First Look: Specialized's New 2FO Roost Flat and Clip Shoes
@MTB-Colada: The 2FO 2.0 are fully featured specifically for enduro riding. The 2FO 2.0 like Shimano's AM-9/GR-9 have the asymmetric collar for protecting the inside ankle from strikes against the crank arm. The Roost is more like (but not completely) Shimano's AM-7/GR-7 and satisfies trail and (some) enduro usage. The latter shoes are better when riding is not intensively aggressive and where trail rather than enduro is emphasized. The Roost may possibly fit differently than the 2.0. While both shoes are described as relaxed fit, the Roost with one less lace eyelet may have more volume in the toe box which would be appreciated by people who have a wider forefoot. The soft material in the upper part of the shoe may lessen the squeeze on the foot which again is appreciated by people with a wide foot. Specialized is correct about the appearance of the Roost. It is more "normal" in appearance and may not be detected as cycling specific.

Five Ten Freerider Elements Shoes Size 8 Men, (9.5 W)
$75 CADThe Five Ten Freerider Elements shoes have had very limited use. I know that I have worn them but I don't think that I actually used them on the bike. I think that the photos suggest that the shoes could be mistaken for new. I find that the Freerider Elements are a bit tighter fit than the corresponding Freerider Pro shoes. Nonetheless, I need a wider fitting shoe and prefer a different brand for that reason. At the end of the day, it is about whether the shoe fits (comfortably). Shipping is $25.00 within the continent.
