Actually the Velosamba looks pretty good, to me. It has a recess for a cleat, but that doesn't mean a cleat must be used. And they make the point that the sole has been stiffened compared to the regular Samba to facilitate longer sessions of pedaling. I'm pretty sure that sole will work well with a rattrap pedal. For us that means to allow an easy release from the pedal. Several comments here say that the Five Ten is good because it is hard to get your foot off of a rattrap pedal, with them. That's not good for us.
She wouldn’t need toe-clips with FiveTen shoes. That’s their whole point. They are for use with flat pedals. But if toe-clips are her preference then the Velosamba looks good, but I have no experience of it.
