Product news: Top 10: The best MTB shoes with Vibram soles?

by

Clothing: There are not many contact points between the rider and the bike, but these few have to function absolutely reliably while riding, which is ensured by different pedal systems. But if you have to leave your sports equipment during your mountain bike adventure and move step by step, Vibram has always ensured the best contact in any terrain. The sole specialist not only manufactures shoes itself, but also equips OEM manufacturers with its own technology. We present you our top 10 mountain bike shoes with Vibram soles.

The Evofiber upper offers the perfect fit and the Super Natural Fit Kit allows you to customize the arch support.
