MTB shoes are designed to effectively tackle the most demanding challenges of mountain biking, ensuring durability, comfort and superior performance on any type of terrain. For those who are riding rough trails, tackling steep climbs or breathtaking descents, MTB cycling shoes offer a secure fit and optimal protection, allowing you to tackle every mountain bike trail with confidence and without sacrificing fun!
MTB shoes are distinguished by a sturdy sole, often equipped with studs, which guarantees excellent grip on the pedals and safe traction even when you get off the bike. There are also flat models, designed for those who prefer to pedal on flat pedals.
Their wear-resistant construction protects the feet from impacts and adverse weather conditions, while the upper in breathable materials keeps the foot dry even during the most intense pedaling.
In addition, mountain bike shoes are equipped with practical and safe closure systems, such as Velcro or Boa, which allow you to quickly adjust the fit for greater stability. Their rigid structure, although comfortable, allows you to transfer power directly to the pedals, optimizing every effort uphill or on the most technical sections.
The flat MTB shoe models have the same characteristics of robustness, comfort and protection of all off-road cycling shoes, but do not have pedal attachment systems. The sole is in fact flat (in English ‘flat’) perfect for those who prefer greater freedom and for the cyclist who uses these cycling shoes even after getting off the bike.
For those who don't give up pedaling even in winter, there are excellent winter MTB shoes, designed and engineered specifically to keep your feet warm during outings with friends and training sessions without compromising comfort and safety. The main qualities of winter mountain bike shoes are waterproofness and the ability to maintain an optimal temperature. Added to these is breathability, which allows your feet to stay dry and warm throughout the day. In fact, one of the most used materials for their production is Goretex, a patented fabric that combines waterproofness and breathability, ensuring dry and protected feet in all weather conditions.
Finally, winter MTB shoes usually have a different closure system than summer ones, more advanced and sealed, to limit the entry of water and mud and to avoid heat loss.
