Ride Concepts Hellion Elite Flat Shoes - US 12.5 Black Charcoal

You really have to see and wear these shoes to truly appreciate their quality. I mean they look good online, but wow, I was blown away when I opened the box. I can feel that they are very robust, and are breaking in nicely just like good shoes/boots are supposed to. So nice to have a smaller company that is rider owned/operated and not looking to cut manufacturing corners. The nicest pair of shoes I've ever owned and well worth the price. Keep it up, Ride Concepts.

Good fit. I'm usually a size 8 and the size 8.5 in these fit perfect. Very similar sizing to Specialized 2fo shoes. The new 4.0 rubber is really grippy.

Don't fot like wide clown shoes like other brands

Fit is great. Gusseted tongue and lace loop are great. Have a couple dozen rides on them and they are holding up well.

Elite

Super stiff in a good pedally way. Grippy. They look nice. Walking is comfortable

Great shoe!!

I like these shoes better than 5 10 shoes which I had worn previously. I used to get some numbness over my forefoot but these shoes have neatly eliminated that. They fit true to size.

NOT True to Size or even close

They look nice is all I can say positive about these shoes as to within a few minutes my feet were numb. I don't believe a 1/2 size up would do it. They were so narrow in the toes I felt was wearing women's or kid's shoes. Returned and will go another route.

Sticky!

The Helion Elites are king! Sticky rubber, stiff, ample padding, these shoes have it all. These are casual enough to wear to the brewery after your ride and built with a performance driven design. After multiple seasons of use there has been zero durability issues. The initial break in period can feel slightly uncomfortable due to how rigid the shoe is, but after just a few rides the shoes will fit like a glove! If you haven't tried a pair of Ride Concepts they are well worth the investment.

What's black and sticky? These shoes

Love these shoes. My pedals stick to them like bubblegum. I had to size up a half size. I changed out the laces to brighten them up. My first pair of MTN shoes so I don't have anything to compare them to.

these are some beauties

I never got to ride in these beauties because when i tried them on and fell in love with them, i also realized they are for flat pedals. They seem like really excellent construction, comfortable and solid so I'm trying a different shoe from Ride Concepts and hope I like it as much as these living room warriors.

well built rugged shoe

This shoe is well built for rugged mountain biking. Nice protective toe area and quality materials. shoe is comfortably snug and true to size. Love the elastic loop to keep the lace ends secure.
