Buyer’s Guide: Mountain Bike Shoes
Bontrager Avert
$250
The versatile lace-up Avert delivers solid riding performance, while allowing for easy walking on trails and paved surfaces. Unlike some garishly patterned cycling shoes, the Avert’s subdued colours easily blend into most urban environments. Bontrager has spec’d a cushioned ethylene-vinyl acetate midsole for extra comfort and a sufficiently aggressive outsole for when you’re walking on trails and need traction. Urban-oriented riders that occasionally venture off-road will love this shoe. (trekbikes.com)
