Mountain Biking Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of shoes do you wear for mountain biking?

There are two main types of mountain bike shoes: ones for flat pedals and ones for clipless pedals. Flat pedal shoes have a sticky rubber sole that provides grip on the pedals. They're easy to walk in and are a good choice for beginners or riders who like to be able to put their foot down quickly. Clipless pedals have cleats that attach the shoe to the pedal. Clipless shoes like the Five Ten Kestrel or Hellcat provide a more efficient transfer of power to the pedals, but it can be more difficult to walk in clipless shoes.

Why use mountain bike shoes?

Mountain biking shoes offer several advantages over regular shoes. First, they have stiffer soles. This helps transfer your pedalling power more efficiently, maximising your effort on the trail. Shoes like the Five Ten Freerider have aggressive treads made from sticky rubber compounds that provide better grip on flat pedals. Mountain bike shoes often have reinforced toes and tough materials to shield your feet from impacts with rocks, roots or branches. Finally, mountain bike shoes are designed for the posture required for cycling, with features like good arch support and a snug fit to keep your feet comfortable on long rides.

Are MTB shoes OK for road bikes?

For casual riding or commuting, it's fine to use mountain bike shoes on your road bike. But for serious road cycling, road-specific shoes are better for the best power transfer and efficiency. Mountain biking shoes often have deeper treads, more substantial materials and a bulkier design compared to road shoes, which can add weight and create slightly more wind resistance. But they also generally have a more comfortable feel, and having a single pair of shoes that works for both disciplines can save money and storage space.
