Product Information
Full details
The Ride Concepts Livewire MTB shoes are designed for adult riders seeking a balance of durability, pedal grip, and comfort on the trails. Built on an all-new chassis, these shoes offer excellent pedal feel for technical sections and reliable protection against debris; however, the structured design may feel slightly stiffer than casual flat-soled sneakers during initial break-in.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?
No, the Ride Concepts Livewire is designed specifically for flat pedal use.
Are they waterproof?
They are weather-resistant, meaning they handle splashes and light rain well, but they are not fully waterproof.
How do I choose the right size?
These shoes follow standard adult unisex sizing; use the manufacturer's size chart to match your EU or UK foot size.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the dual-density EVA insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
How often should I clean the outsoles?
Cleaning mud and debris from the outsole after every ride will help maintain the effectiveness of the High Grip rubber.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone
Use the integrated elastic lace tuck to secure the ends of your laces and keep them away from the crankset.
Accumulation of mud inside the shoe
Ensure the gusseted tongue is pulled tight against the foot when lacing up and check that the heel collar is flush with your ankle.
Odor buildup
Remove the dual-density EVA insole after rides and allow it to air dry separately; use an anti-bacterial shoe spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that your flat pedals have adequate pin height for the rubber sole. To keep the shoes in top condition, remove them after muddy rides and allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Use a soft brush to remove dried mud from the upper and outsole. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the synthetic materials and the integrity of the glued seams. If the laces become worn, replace them with standard flat laces and utilize the built-in elastic lace tuck to prevent interference with your drivetrain.
