Abrasion resistance

Shell wraps around the shoe for enhanced durability.

Fitting comfort

Full sockliner for comfort from heel to toe.

Traction

Multidirectional lugs allow you to pedal and walk without slipping.

Fit

Feet stay in place easily thanks to quick lacing system and heel stiffener.

Easy dressing

Sock-like construction and elastic fabric hug your foot.

Ease of use

Easy to mount your cleats (2 holes), and a pocket for the laces.

Compatibility

Compatible with flat pedals and SPD cleats (sold separately).

Lightweight

Lightweight and pleasant to wear (367 g in size 9.5).

Hybrid sole

Sometimes surprises along your way leave you no choice but to push or carry your mountain bike. Our hybrid sole is inspired by trail running (for grip on the ground) and mountain biking (for grip on the pedals) to keep you comfortable and supported whether walking or cycling. The heel stiffener and flex grooves keep you comfortable when walking. And its grooved multidirectional lugs drain water and mud whether going uphill or downhill, walking or cycling.

Comfortable and durable.

In addition to giving you traction when walking and pedalling, the ST 500 shoes will also let you ride worry-free: the durable shell limits impacts and abrasion. The elastic sockliner all along the opening makes it easy to slip them on and prevents dust and pebbles from getting in. To prevent unintended snags, tuck the quick-lacing system into the tongue!

Reinforced forefoot

Reinforced forefoot for protection against unexpected impacts or stones kicked up by the wheel.

Clipless pedals

When you start mountain biking, clipless pedals aren’t necessarily a priority. This is why these shoes grip the pedals well, even without cleats. And if you want to take the plunge, the sole has a rigid section for fixing cleats without adjusting everything! Easily mount your SPD cleats with the 2-hole design and reference points engraved onto the sole.

Compatible with clipless pedals

For the best fit, use the following models: - Btwin SPD dual 500 - Btwin SPD clipless 100 - Btwin SPD clipless 520 - Shimano SPD dual M324 - Shimano SPD clipless M520 - Shimano SPD clipless XT-M780 Compatibility with Enduro/Freeride clipless platform pedals is not guaranteed (e.g. Btwin SPD clipless 540, Shimano SPD clipless Enduro XT-M8020, Shimano SPD clipless M424). For these pedals, you will need to try them first.

Description claims it can be used with platform pedals. However I found the grip to be very poor on two different sets of mountain biking pedals while doing technical mountain biking - far worse than the old, worn out trail running shoes I used previously. Pretty disappointing

and clearly not designed for this purpose, and some pretty misleading advertising. Otherwise it is a nice shoe, and if you intend to use it with clipless pedals and/or on easy trails and smooth roads, then I'm sure it would work well. Unfortunately for me it is useless unless I decide to try clipless pedals while mountain biking, which was not my original plan.

Before these I also purchased the ST100 which are a pair of very basic MTB shoes. These ST500 have the same bottoms but better looking and ventilation. There is also this shoe laces quick release thing and pockets to store the shoes laces very convenient. I worried the additio

nal use of mesh would result in them not able to keep my feet warm but it seemed to be ok so far.

I could not wear these shoes as they were too narrow in the fore-foot and caused pain after wearing for a while. I did not use them biking, and instead returned them.

C'est mon premier chaussures de vélo avec clip, j'ai mis les clip SPD qui venaient avec mes pédales à clip. J'ai fais une couple de 100km avec, je peux dire que pédaler avec les clips c'est super. J'aime bien le système de lacet avec ces chaussures, pas besoin de faire de

noeuds. Assez comfortable car j'ai pris taille 9.5 qui est 0.5 plus gros, mais j'ai des pieds un peu large, je me sens pas serré ni trop lousse. Les souliers ont l'air normal aussi et comfortable juste à marcher avec. Je ne suis pas expert en cyclisme. Pour le prix et la qualité qu'on s'attend de Décathon c'est parfait.
