Product Information

The Trailcross XT is easily the grippiest flat pedal shoe Five Ten makes, the secret source being the latest Stealth Phantom rubber with a squidgy 55a compound and the usual dotty lug pattern. With most clipless shoe and pedal set-ups, you can’t just pull straight up and off as you would with a platform pedal. Like all Specialized footwear, the 2FO DH Clip has an array of Body Geometry features, such as Longitudinal Arch, Metatarsal Button, and Varus Wedge.

Wearing Five Ten’s Freerider flat shoes, I don’t have to think about keeping my feet on the pedals – they stick like glue – but with the Tallac BOA I needed to pay attention and work my feet more. This shoe has been designed for enduro racing and downhill tracks with its taller neoprene cuff, sticky Michelin rubber (the ME5’s is an in-house design that’s a bit less grippy on rock), and additional lace guard. Lower tension is very helpful when you’re new to clip-in pedals, as it makes it easier for you to twist your foot out. That said, a clip-in shoe is under more load when pedalling and during the disengagement phase, and often is supported by a smaller surface area of pedal, so it needs to feature a more stable construction and often a reinforcing strap to reduce flex. Some shoes give arch support options that you can easily swap out, or Bont has high-quality insoles you can use in shoes of your choice.

Fizik frequently creates two shoes that are exactly the same other than one will have a two bolt cleat interface and tread and one will have a road specific base.

Yet one thing that all riders have in common, from roadies to triathletes, is a need for efficient and effective power transfer.Fizik also has the Powerstrap design which lets you reach down and make changes although it lacks the precision and speed of a BOA. But with impressive durability and protection, and a stiff sole that offers exceptional power transfer, the Chamber II will be well worth its weight for serious riders. Sooner or later, you're going to be commuting in the rain or on wet streets and your cycling shoes will end up wet from wheelspray. You'll have fewer issues with hot spots in your feet and the power you put into your pedals will directly translate to propelling you forward.

When it comes to the best cycling shoes, there were a lot more that almost made it than some of the other guides.They use a unique strap system that locks your foot down and improves on the velcro systems of years gone by. I'll explain more about the differences and how to choose the best cycling shoes for your needs lower down. With clip-in pedals, any SPD-compatible shoe is going to work well because it’s actually the pedal/cleat interface that is responsible for grip and security. If given the option, I'd choose laces because I like the look and I feel they are the most comfortable.
