Classic look, mountain performance, and a hi-viz twist…
A side project for New York-based Somerville Sports, the new Shredder is a classy looking perforated-leather, lace-up mountain shoe. A little fragile for proper trail use (the unprotected uppers would take a beating), the knobbly shoes are said to be extremely comfortable and suited for less-rad trail, gravel, or touring use.
Beyond looking good and forming themselves to the rider’s foot, the nylon-soled shoes have a reflective layer under the leather. While it probably doesn’t do much for breathability, it does make the black shoes really pop with headlights (or a camera flash) are aimed in their direction. $180 (£111) soon from sommervillesports.com.
No, just no.
Too flinking narrow for the likes of me I’ll wager!
Can anyone suggest MTB shoes with widest fit and a wide toe box?
