Scott MTB Team Boa shoes


SO GOOD
They may look like ‘disco slipper’ XC shoes but the MTB Teams are trail ready and easy to live with. Markings on the sole make cleat alignment a snap, the outsole grips well in mud, and they’re just 401g per shoe (size 46). The footbed provides comfy support and the metatarsal button and arch support can be removed to tailor the fit.

NO GOOD
Despite Scott’s stiffness rating of eight out of nine, the sole feels flexier than most here – we could feel our platform-less Shimano Race pedals when pushing hard. The upper becomes uncomfortable around the ankle when done up tightly enough to prevent heel lift too.

Price 225$
