Dependable flat-pedal grip and everyday trail comfort in a versatile Charcoal colourway.
The Ride Concepts Men’s Livewire Flat Pedal MTB Shoes are made for riders wanting a comfortable, durable and dependable shoe for everyday trail riding. Their updated chassis combines confident pedal grip with a casual look that works on and off the bike.
A glued and stitched cupped outsole paired with High Grip rubber gives you a solid connection to flat pedals, while the durable synthetic canvas and microfibre upper handles regular trail use without feeling overly heavy or restrictive.
Confident Flat-Pedal Grip
The High Grip rubber outsole helps keep your feet connected to the pedals through corners, rough sections and technical trail features. A supportive EVA midsole absorbs trail chatter, while retaining the pedal feel needed for controlled riding.
Built for Everyday Riding
The durable synthetic upper includes anti-abrasion mesh to help manage airflow and stand up to regular scuffs. Custom-moulded toe and heel protection adds useful defence from rocks, roots and pedal strikes.
The glued and stitched cupped outsole is designed for long-term durability, making the Livewire a practical option for riders who use their mountain bike regularly.
Comfortable From Trailhead to Ride Home
A dual-density EVA insole improves cushioning underfoot, while the anti-bacterial mesh lining helps control odour. The fully gusseted tongue helps keep out trail debris, and an elastic lace tuck keeps laces secured safely out of the way.
