When I go mountain biking, it’s important to have pedals and shoes that are good at working together to help your feet remain stable and not slip<\/strong> while riding. When going over bumps and jumps, the right shoes help me ride without losing grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mountain biking shoes are usually the best shoes to wear when using your mountain bike on trails. They are preferred by many because they help protect feet, secure footing, and help with power generation when pedaling.   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have rubber-soled shoes that grip well and have some toe protection, then you should be fine most of the time as well. Riding a mountain bike takes practice, and getting used to mountain biking shoes that clip into pedals will also take some getting used to, but may find it beneficial. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Mountain Biking Shoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I normally wear rubber-soled shoes when I use my mountain bike. I usually don’t go on trails too much, but I have been thinking about doing it more often. I want to find out what makes a good mountain bike shoe. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve learned that one of the qualities that make a mountain bike shoe helpful is it is made a bit tougher<\/strong> than your normal shoe. The other thing that is helpful with mountain bike shoes is\u00a0their grip<\/a> (article). They either have a grippy rubber sole or a cleat that clips into the pedal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three types of mountain bike shoes that I have found: skater style, hiker style, and light hiker style. These shoes may look like normal shoes but they are different in some ways.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skate Style Shoes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take your normal skater’s shoes. They are flat rubber-soled shoes that grip the skateboard (article) well and work well while skating. While mountain bike shoes may look the same, they are tougher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
