We like the Ride Concepts Traverse Clip Mountain Bike Shoe for its women’s specific fit, D30 protection, and breathable water-resistant upper welded construction that allows us to send it on any trail. The DST 8. 0 MID GRIP Rubber outsole keeps us gripping to the dirt in hike-a-bike sections, while the 40mm wide cleat box makes it easy for us to clip in and out of our pedals as obstacles are quickly thrown in our way.
