Need a great mountain bike shoe? Get a pair of the Mavic Crossride XL Elite Protect shoes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

I can’t understand why anyone would wear traditional race mountain bike shoes anymore. Why have no traction when walking and be uncomfortable for some perceived performance gain which if it existed would not be statistically significant? This is my second pair of chunky soled shoes. My last pair of shoes did not last as long as I would have liked though, the soles peeled off, the stitching popped out… So i wanted to try something new. I picked up a pair of Mavic Crossride XL Elite Protect shoes and they are a damn fine pair of shoes.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

This shoe has a neoprene cuff to keep dirt and debris out, a lace cover and bumpers all around.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The sole is super burly with tons of sticky chunky rubber.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Under the cuff is a set of quick draw laces and even an extra velcro strap on top.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

This is a super comfy shoe and very well made. Pick one up if you like adventures on your mountain bike.<\/p>\n

Our enduro racers use this as a training shoe. It has everything they need from a full-on race shoe but just a tiny bit more flexibility for comfort and practicality when not competing.

On the bike it\u2019s all about protection and performance. Performance comes from the Energy Grip Trail outsole, which provides enough stiffness for powering through tough climbs and sprints. And when the world\u2019s flying past you in a blur, you can focus on the track ahead knowing your feet and ankles are perfectly protected by Contragrip\u00ae soles with reinforced toe and heel sections and neoprene ankle supports.

For added comfort and security we\u2019ve covered our quick lace system with a double velcro strap. That way your feet are fully protected and there\u2019s no chance of snagging on anything around you.
