Leatt MTB Shoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Leatt shoes have\nbeen developed and tested extensively from the deserts of Moab to the glaciers\nof the Alps. Durable shoes that do not compromise on style, comfort and\ncontrol. Your shoes are one of the key touch points when riding, so there can\nbe no compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Clip models feature an indexed SPD channel that\u2019s compatible with all clipless pedals. With 25mm of adjustment and specifically 15mm more towards the rear, the shoes can be optimized for gravity riding, while the forward position aids pedal efficiency. Moreover, the extended rear adjustment helps reduce strain on the Achilles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leatt MTB shoes\ncan really help you improve your riding skills as they can increase bike\ncontrol. The secret lies in the shank, hidden above the sole of the shoe. The\nshank controls the shoes flex which determines what kind of riding it is\noptimized for.  Softer shanks (Leatt 2.0) are optimized for trail riding, mid stiffness\n(Leatt 3.0) for rigorous riding conditions and the stiffest shanks (Leatt 4.0\n& 5.0) maximize pedal efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Leatt Lab\nfocused heavily on producing a highly durable rubber compound called RideGrip\nfor the sole that resists abrasions and punctures. While the WaffleGrip pattern\nis designed to interlock with pedal pins for phenomenal grip and bike control.\nThe mud channels are awesome too, as they keep dirt off your soles, so your\nfeet don\u2019t slide off the pedals or rocks when walking with your bike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feet stay dry and ventilated, even on those long rides thanks to perforated toe boxes and a 10K\/10K waterproof breathable membrane. They also have an anti-bacterial, anti-odor and quick drying foot liner to keep things fresh. It can be annoying when you are flowing down a trail and your shoes laces untie for no reason. Leatt have solved this problem as well with their compression laces. Anti-stretch and water resistant, they will lock the shoe on your foot until you take them off, guaranteeing bike control and comfort all day long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
