At Crooze you can find a wide range of high-quality, best value MTB shoes for various riding conditions, from technical trail riding, off-road enduro to XC cycling. Our collection includes premium brands like Specialized and Shimano.

Let’s have a look at some of our favourites.

Shimano XC502 SPD Cleats are our most versatile XC cycling shoes with superior performance for a broader range of riders. They are constructed with high-quality materials like synthetic leather and TPU/Mesh cover upper for exceptional fit and comfort, fibreglass midsole for excellent power transfer and ULTREAD rubber outsole for competition level grip.

The XC502 offer a glove-like fit as a result of its low stack midsole height and wrap-around upper structure.

Adding all these performance-enhancing features together and you get a cleat bike pair that offers incredible pedal efficiency, stability and power transfer.

On top of all this, the Shimano cycling shoes come with a BOA L6 dial system for easy step in and out, as well as a secure fit for a wider range of foot shapes. It also includes adjustable spikes that you can swap out to suit any riding condition.

Specialized Recon 1.0 are the ultimate off-road mountain bike shoes. Specialized’s intent with these bike shoes was to put S-Works Recon-inspired performance in a very accessible package. As a result, Specialized designed a durable, dirt-focused shoe with Body Geometry comfort and power efficiency.

The Recon 1.0 Specialized shoes feature innovative technologies like STRIDE toe-flex tech and TPU injected forefoot that offers riders natural movement off the bike yet stiffness enough for exceptional on-bike performance.

Three Velcro closures make slipping into the bike cleats easy, and creates a comfortable fit for all-day riding. In addition, the outsole is covered with SlipNot rubber tread which offers riders great traction in all-terrain, whether it be for twisting single tracks, open gravel roads or wet conditions.

The Recon 1.0 is a double threat — efficiency at the pedals with comfort and confidence off the bike.

If you are looking for bicycle cleats that are comfortable both on and off the bike, then we recommend trying the Shimano AM503 MTB SPD Shoes. These Shimano shoes are designed with a pedal channel that creates a flat and stable shoe platform for when you are not clipped in.

The innovative SPD power transfer system is here to offer extra pedal boost as well as enhance your riding control, so you get better pedal efficiency and stability when riding, and the raised, padded ankle sides and robust toe cap offer additional protection against branches and rocks on the track.

The AM503 flat pedal MTB shoes are incredibly versatile, combining a stylish look with essential trail protection. Perfect for the rougher off-road trails.
