Affordable Mountain Bike Shoes

These Shoes Are Inspired By French Rider Tomas Lemoine

— April 21, 2023 — Lifestyle
South African-founded company Leatt has launched the 'MTB 2.0 Tomas Lemoine Signature' mountain biking shoes, a pair of flat pedal kicks that are inspired by the unique style of French mountain biker Tomas Lemoine but are also placed at an affordable price point.

The 'MTB 2.0 Tomas Lemoine Signature' mountain bike shoes are fitted with a semi-flexible sole as well as the WaffleGrip Pro tread, allowing for a quality grip on different kinds of mountain bike pedals. Meanwhile, the shoes also happen to boast a soft rubber compound grip that works just as well in rainy and dry environments. Elsewhere, these shoes feature a synthetic leather upper with adequate ventilation.

Meanwhile, considering the colorful attire and shoes favored by Lemoine, it's no surprise that these signature shoes feature a splashy colorway that will well and truly mark you out on the trail. Priced at $99, these fashionable and high-performance shoes are also designed to be accessible to riders on a budget.
