There"s no part of the city and no part of the trail that the Louis Garneau Terra MTB Shoe can"t go. The high-density nylon sole gives you enough stiffness for efficient power transfer on the trail, without sacrificing walk-ability while in the city. And even without a ratchet buckle, LG"s HRS-80 heel cup prevents heel slip, ensuring you have a snug, comfortable fit no matter where the day"s two-wheeled adventures take you.
