Five Ten Mountain Biking Shoes Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for in a mountain bike shoe?
Look for mountain biking shoes that match your riding conditions. First, check your pedals. If you’re using a platform (flat) pedal, choose a shoe with a flat outsole. If your pedals have interlocking cleats, you want clipless shoes. Then think about where and how you’ll be riding. If heat is a primary concern, a lightweight shoe that breathes will keep you comfortable on long rides. If you’re more concerned about protection from the elements, brush and debris, look for a shoe with a heavier, protective build. adidas Five Ten makes shoes for a variety of pedals and conditions.
What is a clipless mountain biking shoe?
A clipless mountain biking shoe has a stiff outsole with a cleat system underneath the ball of the foot that locks directly into the bike pedal. The shoes are called “clipless” because they replace an older technology involving an external toe clip. There are two- and three-cleat clipless configurations. Be sure your mountain biking shoes are compatible with your pedals.
How do I choose mountain biking shoes?
Choose mountain biking shoes that match your pedals and your riding style. If you use traditional platform (flat) pedals, you want a shoe with a flat rubber outsole. If your pedals have an interlocking cleat system, look for clipless shoes that match your pedals’ cleat configuration. Clipless shoes provide stability and more efficient energy use. But there’s less freedom of movement once the outsole is locked in, so newer riders might be uncomfortable. Flat shoes provide maximum comfort and freedom of movement but require more energy on each stroke, especially uphill. Check out the adidas blog for more tips on how to choose mountain bike shoes.
