You don"t have to be a totally radical bike messenger to appreciate the rugged urban and singletrack capabilities of the Louis Garneau MTB Shoe. Sure, the high-density nylon sole gives you plenty of power transfer as you mash through traffic, but it"s still compliant enough when it"s time to hustle around on foot. Your heels will stay locked in because of the micro-adjustable ratchet buckle and Louis Garneau"s HRS-80 heel cup, which keep your foot snug as you chase down another elevator, or hammer back to the trailhead.
