adidas Men's Mountain Biking Shoes

The mountain is calling, and it's been too long since you felt the wind on your face. Time to grab your men's mountain biking shoes and jump on your bike. From casual rides to blazing new trails, spin up your pedals in men's mtb shoes that are made tough and raring for adventure. When you're catching air or whipping around a curve, high-friction rubber outsoles help keep your feet locked securely in place. adidas men's mountain biking sneakers and shoes feature durable uppers made with abrasion-resistant materials, so there's no need to be careful with them. Find high top designs that wrap around your ankle and help block out debris, as well as pairs with midfoot straps for lockdown stability. Specialized midsoles combine soft cushioning with firm support for efficient motion.

Keep riding even when it gets wet with waterproof GORE-TEX that repels rain and splashes. Rise out of the saddle to add extra power to each rotation, and then drop low to pick up more speed as you whip around the curve. Take on sharper turns, steeper inclines and kick up some dirt in your men's mtb sneakers. Check out men's mountain biking shoes at adidas and set off for your wildest ride yet.

Men's Mountain Biking Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

Are Five Tens true to size?

Five Ten shoes for mountain biking generally run true to size. Some Five Ten shoes have hook-and-loop adjusters in addition to laces so you can tighten or loosen to change how they feel on your feet. To find your perfect size, use this adidas guide to footwear sizing, which explains how to measure your feet most effectively.

Can you wear hiking boots for mountain biking?

Yes, you can generally wear hiking boots as mountain biking shoes. However, on longer rides, or more challenging terrain, the benefits of a lightweight mountain biking shoe become more important. A hiking boot’s outsole is built for durability on uneven terrain. Mountain bike outsoles are specifically built for repetitive movements and contact on the flat pedal surface. Even though some versions look just like skate sneakers, they’re designed specifically to grip the pedal and protect your feet through rough terrain, making it more comfortable and safer to bike in a pair that’s meant for the bike.

What kind of shoe is best for mountain biking?

The best shoe for mountain biking provides excellent cushioning for your feet plus traction so the shoes don’t slip off the pedals easily. To determine which type of shoe is best for your specific mountain bike, first check your pedals. If you’re using a platform (flat) pedal, look for shoes with a flat outsole. If your pedal is designed with an interlocking cleat system, look for clipless shoes. (Clipless shoes have a cleat on the outsole that connects directly to the pedal. They’re called “clipless” because they improve on the older technology involving a clip.)
