Product Information

Full details

The Endura MT500 Burner Flat Shoes are designed for adult, unisex riders seeking maximum grip and control on flat pedal setups, especially for aggressive trail riding. Their key benefit lies in the StickyFoot Grip rubber sole, providing unparalleled connection to pedals and confident walking traction. A potential caveat is that the aggressive tread for walking might feel different on the pedals compared to a smoother sole.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for commuting?

Yes, the modern trainer styling and comfortable design make them suitable for commuting, though their primary design is for trail performance.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Endura or the retailer. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box without your foot sliding forward on descents. The fit should be snug but not constrictive.

Can I use these with clipless pedals?

No, these are specifically designed as flat pedal shoes and do not have provisions for clipless pedal systems.

How durable is the StickyFoot Grip rubber?

The StickyFoot Grip rubber is engineered for high durability and consistent performance, balancing grip with longevity for trail riding.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes feature a quick-dry lining and are water-resistant to a degree, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to handle wet conditions and dry relatively quickly.

What is the advantage of the EVA midsole?

The EVA midsole provides cushioning and absorbs impacts, reducing fatigue and protecting your feet from harsh terrain and pedal strikes.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff initially

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few shorter rides to allow the materials to conform to your feet.

Reduced grip on pedals

Ensure your pedal pins are clean and not excessively worn. Clean the sole of the shoe to remove any mud or debris that might be interfering with grip.

Debris entering the shoe

Ensure the Velcro® strap and tongue gaiter are properly secured to minimize entry points for dirt and debris.

Discomfort during long rides

Adjust the lacing and Velcro® strap for a more personalized fit. Ensure the shoes are not overtightened, which can restrict circulation.

  1. Lacing: Insert your foot and lace the shoes as you normally would, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit.
  2. Velcro® Strap: Secure the Velcro® strap over the laces to provide additional lockdown and help keep debris out of the shoe.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After riding, remove excess mud and dirt. Clean the upper and sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
