The trusted international brand that developed the very first protective neck brace for riders, Leatt has launched its hotly anticipated first line of Twenty/Twenty MTB shoes, including the 2.0 flat shoes, 3.0 flat shoes, 4.0 clip shoes, and 5.0 clip shoes in their popular DBX mountain bike range.

Leatt shoes have been developed and tested extensively from the deserts of Moab to the glaciers of the Alps. Durable shoes that do not compromise on style, comfort, and control. Your shoes are one of the critical touchpoints when riding, so there can be no compromise.

The Clip models feature an indexed SPD channel that’s 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.

Features

The Clip models feature an indexed SPD channel that’s 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.

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

The Leatt Lab focused heavily on producing a highly durable rubber compound called RideGrip for the sole that resists abrasions and punctures. While the WaffleGrip pattern is designed to interlock with pedal pins for phenomenal grip and bike control. The mud channels are awesome too, as they keep dirt off your soles, so your feet don’t slide off the pedals or rocks when walking with your bike.

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 shoelaces untie for no reason. Leatt has 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.
