Best MTB shoes 2021
In this post, we take a look at the best MTB shoes of 2021. Arguably one of the most important products to choose when riding a bike is the MTB shoe. The main point of contact between you the rider and the bike is the humble shoe.
It’s important to pick a shoe that is not only comfortable but, provides plenty of grip, supports the foot and ankle, doesn’t hinder your pedalling and is resilient enough to withstand the unrelenting abuse we throw at them every single ride. So here is our list of the best Mountain bike shoes for 2021.
Five Ten Freerider Pro Flat Pedal MTB Shoe Review
The Five Ten Freerider Pro Shoes are comfortable, lightweight flat pedal MTB shoes. Offering endless grip and are easy to clean. They may be more expensive than other similar shoes on the market but these are the best in the biz.
Ride Concepts Hellion Elite
In this Ride Concepts Hellion Elite MTB shoe review, we take a close look at the flat pedal trainers and test them for comfort, grip, durability, and riding performance.
The Hellion Elite MTB shoes are a premium performance mountain bike trainer that features a soft rubber compound which RC calls the DST 4.0 Max Grip. This soft rubber sole is intended to offer the most sensitivity and grip whilst riding flat pedals regardless of the conditions.
The upper portion of the shoes is made from a durable microfibre with an anti-bacterial mesh lining to increase breathability and reduce odor.
Etnies Culvert
In this Etnies Culvert MTB shoes review we take a close look at the trainers with a Michelin rubber sole from a skate brand looking to penetrate the MTB industry.
Now Etnies has been making mountain bike shoes for a while now and sponsor some top athletes such as Brandon Semenuk so they’re certainly not new to the scene so it’s worth us taking some time to look at what Etnies has to offer and this time we are looking at their Culvert shoe.
Giant Line Trail Shoes
Giant is a huge brand within the mountain bike industry, well known for their great bikes that they have available to the consumer. More recently they have been turning their hand to soft goods, from gloves to jerseys and they also have a selection of shoes available for various disciplines. In this article, I will be giving my first impressions of Giants Line trail shoes. These shoes are gravity focussed so are perfect for trail and enduro riders that like to be clipped in.
Etnies Semenuk Pro
Designed by Brandon Semenuk himself, This shoe has an outsole tread pattern designed for multi-placement pedals with Force Shield reinforced upper. A hot-melted quarter panel with repel treated upper that blocks moisture. 3M Thinsulate lining and tongue gussets that shields moisture, dirt, and pebbles. Ankle Shield protects your inner ankle from the gears and bike frame. Lace pocket on top of the tongue and Pro Foam 1 molded PU footbed.
