Ride Concepts Vice MTB Shoes Designed with input from freeride heavy-hitter Kyle Strait, the Ride Concepts Vice MTB Shoes combine a lifestyle-friendly aesthetic with the tech features needed to push your boundaries on the bike. The durable suede upper offers exceptional abrasion resistance and is perforated to provide airflow, perfect for keeping your feet fresh through summer pump track sessions. As with any flat pedal shoe, grip is paramount. Unique to Ride Concepts shoes is their RC Fuzion outsole. Made up of sloped-angle inverse hexagons, the unique pattern traps the pedal pins in place. The Rubber Kinetics DST 6.0 HIGH GRIP compound delivers on its name, providing supreme traction for a planted ride feel. The Vice takes heavy landings in its stride, with D30 High Impact Zone insoles taking the sting out of bails and rock strikes. This, combined with the cup outsole design, ensures excellent shock absorption and day-to-day comfort. TPU toe protection reduces the chance of injury, and a fully gusseted tongue prevents dirt and grit from entering the shoe.
