What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I wanted something simple, tough, and secure for dirt miles—Torque MTB Shoes nailed it. The CRS micro-adjust closure cinches evenly, the nylon mesh and hydro-repellent upper breathe well, and the ProX sole feels stiff on climbs but still walks fine. The removable spikes are clutch when trails get slick."We reach for the Torque Cycling Shoes when the ride mixes fire-road grinds with rooty singletrack. Vittoria builds the Torque around a lightweight, durable upper that blends nylon mesh with hydro-repellent synthetic leather, so we get structure without the swampy feel on warm laps. The CRS micro-adjust closure wraps the foot securely, while a Pebax spur at the heel adds stable support when we’re putting power down. Underfoot, the Nylon ProX sole teams with a high-grip technopolymer tread for confident traction off the bike, and removable traction spikes keep us sure-footed in mud or on greasy hike-a-bike sections. It’s a balanced, do-everything trail shoe for training days and weekend missions alike.
