Precise flat-pedal control with added ankle protection for jumps, park laps and aggressive trail riding.
The Ride Concepts Men’s Vice Mid Flat Pedal MTB Shoes take the direct pedal feel of the original Vice and add a mid-top design for extra ankle coverage and protection. They are built for riders who push hard on dirt jumps, slopestyle lines, bike parks and technical trails.
At the centre of the design is Ride Concepts’ RC Fuzion outsole. Its inverse hexagon tread brings the pedal closer to the foot for a more direct, responsive connection when setting up for tricks, loading into jumps or making fast foot adjustments.
Built for Precise Pedal Feel
The RC Fuzion outsole uses sloped-angle inverse hexagons that vary from 9 mm at the toe and heel to 7 mm through the main pedal contact zone. This allows flat-pedal pins to engage effectively with the outsole for dependable grip and a more sensitive feel underfoot.
High Grip rubber provides the traction needed to stay connected on rough trails, jump lines and berms, while allowing the flexibility riders want when repositioning their feet.
Added Mid-Top Protection
The mid-top construction adds coverage around the ankle for riders who want more protection from pedal strikes, trail contact and riding mishaps. A durable suede upper and internal TPU toe protection help defend against rocks, roots and everyday abrasion.
The fully gusseted tongue helps keep dirt and debris out, while the anti-bacterial mesh lining helps control odour through regular use.
Impact Comfort for Hard Riding
A cup outsole with 3 mm EVA adds cushioning and shock absorption. The D3O® High Impact Zone insole helps manage repeated impacts and vibration, reducing fatigue on hard landings, rough run-ins and longer riding sessions.

Who Is It For?
The Vice Mid is for flat-pedal riders who want a close, responsive connection to their pedals with extra ankle coverage. It is especially well suited to dirt jump, slopestyle, pump track, skatepark, bike park and aggressive trail riding.
Our Thoughts
The Vice Mid keeps the direct, sensitive feel that makes the Vice popular, then adds useful ankle coverage for riders who regularly ride jumps, park or rough trails. It is a great choice if a standard low-cut trail shoe does not provide enough protection for how and where you ride.
