We like Etnies Culvert Mid Cycling Shoe for its superior pedal and surface grip. A force shield reinforced upper with a hot-melted toe and heel cap offers durability, and 3M Thinsulate lining blocks moisture. Tongue gussets shield us from dirt and debris flying our way on the trail, and a nylon pull loop is featured on the heel for easy on and off. An ankle shield protects our inner ankle from the gears and bike frame.
