The brand uses cat\u2019s-tongue material on the inside of the heel to reduce heel lift.<\/p><p>The well-considered fit and breathable upper impressed, as did the ventilated mesh weave. The mesh holds very little water and if they do happen to let a little in, they\u2019ll dry fast.

solidly to your feet.<\/p><p>We found the ME5s comfortable out of the box, with the supple upper creating zero pinch points when tightened by the Boa dial.<\/p><p>The soles feature just enough flex so you feel feedback from what's below you, while being supportive enough to transfer deep efforts into forward momentum.

Lets splashes in; cleat spacer needed if not looking for locked-in feel<\/li><\/ul><p>The Endura MT500 Burner is a comfortable and well-fitting shoe for enduro and trail riding.<\/p><p>The insole has a metatarsal button, helps spread your big toe and prevents your foot from scrunching.<\/p><p>The sole of the shoe has an aggressive tread, offering plenty of grip if you have to push your bike up sloppy trails. The cleat is free to move 39mm front to rear \u2013 as much as any shoe on the market. You might need a cleat spacer if you don't want to feel locked in.<\/p><p>The upper is nicely built and ventilated, but it does let water in.<\/p><ul><li><a

Some flat-pedal shoes have soles that are stiffer than others, but none are as stiff as a dedicated cross-country shoe.<\/p><p>Clipless-pedal shoes come in a wider variety of forms, catering to virtually every sort of rider. They range from XC shoes, which are much like road shoes but with a little bit of tread on the soles, all the way to DH shoes that resemble their flat-pedal counterparts, save for cleat mounts.<\/p><p>Unsure of what's right for you?
