MTB shoes are one of the most personal and important aspects of our wardrobe. However, there are bikers who guide their choice based on brands or designs, which is a big mistake. In the process of choosing a pair of shoes, many parameters must be taken into account, some of them crucial for our comfort.
Most of the cycling shoes have a universal design that makes them suitable for everyone, however, there are others in which the toe box (or the entire last) is narrower, or they mark the bridge more, or the heel... In short, small details that can benefit us, do not bother us or can make them very uncomfortable.
Choosing the wrong shoe will cause friction, pain or excessive pressure on certain points of the foot, making the routes an ordeal. That is why we should not leave the choice of our footwear to chance, or to simple taste for design.
The first factor, obviously, is determined by the budget. In the market we find great shoes for more affordable prices and models with higher prices and with features worthy of the World Cup. So the first thing we must mark is the money that we can spend.
