Full details
The Endura MT500 Burner Flat Shoe is designed for adult riders seeking maximum grip and control on their flat pedal mountain bike setup.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clipless pedals?
No, the Endura MT500 Burner Flat Shoe is specifically designed for flat pedals and does not have provisions for clipless pedal cleats.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Endura, typically based on UK shoe sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the chart for the most accurate fit.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
How durable is the StickyFoot Grip rubber?
StickyFoot Grip rubber is designed for high performance and durability on pedals. However, like all rubber compounds, its lifespan will depend on riding frequency, style, and terrain. Aggressive use and contact with abrasive surfaces can increase wear.
What is the main advantage of the multi-compound sole?
The multi-compound sole balances optimal grip on pedal pins with durability and traction for walking. Different rubber compounds are used in specific areas to provide these varied benefits.
How do I clean the inside of the shoes?
For the interior, remove any loose debris. A damp cloth can be used to wipe down the lining. Ensure the shoes are thoroughly dried afterwards to prevent odor and material degradation.
What is the purpose of the tongue gaiter?
The tongue gaiter is a small elasticated panel designed to help keep trail debris, such as mud, dirt, and small stones, from entering the shoe through the lace area.
Troubleshooting
Reduced pedal grip
Ensure pedal pins are clean and free of mud or debris. Check the shoe sole for excessive wear or embedded dirt; clean the sole and pins thoroughly.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the lace and Velcro strap for a more precise fit. Ensure socks are appropriate for cycling and do not create friction points. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.
Shoes feel wet after riding
Allow shoes to dry completely after each use in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. The quick-dry lining helps, but thorough drying is essential.
Debris getting into shoes
Ensure the tongue gaiter and Velcro strap are secured properly to minimize gaps where debris can enter.
