This makes them ideal for trail riding, urban commuting and other casual cycling activities where flexibility and comfort are key.

What are flat pedal shoes?

These shoes offer a more casual and flexible riding experience compared to clipless pedals, making them popular for trail riding, urban commuting and other recreational cycling activities.

How do you keep your feet on flat pedals?

To keep your feet securely on flat pedals, you'll need a pair of flat-pedal shoes and a set of pedals with a grippy, textured surface.
