Traction

Pedal and walk without slipping thanks to the multidirectional lugs.

Fit

The laces and heel stiffener hold your foot securely in place.

Easy dressing

Ease of use

Easy mounting of your cleats (2 holes) and lace pocket.

Compatibility

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

Lightweight

Lightweight and pleasant to wear (290 g [10 oz.] in size 9½).

A hybrid sole

Sometimes the terrain will force you 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 multidirectional lugs drain water and mud whether going uphill or downhill, walking or cycling.

Tidy laces

Once the shoe is "locked" in place, the excess lacing can be stored in the small pocket at the top of the tongue.

Reinforced front area

The front part of the foot is reinforced to protect against unexpected impacts or stones.

Clipless cleats

When you start mountain biking, clipless pedals aren't necessarily your 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 attach your SPD cleats thanks to the 2 holes and a reference guide engraved into the surface of the sole.

Compatibility with clipless cleats

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.

Good basic cleated shoes
Andrey

These shoes are sturdy and SPD-cleat compatible, featuring a lace pocket and a casual look. However, the sole isn't thick enough to recess the cleats, causing them to clatter on hard surfaces.

Excellent shoe, but.....
Bob

: 3 to 8 weeks

: en_GB

Like all Decathlon cycling gear these are excellent. But there is one qualification. They are promoted as "Compatible with platform pedals and SPD cleats". But if you use them with platform pedals - as I do - the grip is average to poor. My feet slipped around due to the large

cut-out for the SPD cleat. No cleat covers are supplied for use with platform pedals. Shimano cleat covers are readily available for around £10,which solves the problem. So it is not the end of the world. But it would be useful to point out on the product description that cleat covers are not supplied and may be required for platform pedals.
