MX201

Makes $1000 worth of shoes worthless

I’m sure it won’t surprise you that I have foot problems and wide feet and only can wear “wide toe box” shoes (especially Altras). So when my favorite bike shoes were wearing out I was panic-buying every shoe I could find that was advertised as “wide toe box”. After buying about 6 or 7 pairs at about $150-$200 each, I found a couple pairs that were bearable but ultimately gave me pain after many miles. I bought these MX-201 shoes specifically for mountain biking and fitted them with spd cleats and they were so comfortable that I swapped out the pedals on my road bike to match and I haven’t used any of the other shoes I bought since I bought these. I waited until a restock and bought a second pair because I cannot bear the thought of going back to any other bike shoe.

This is the only shoe that will fit my feet very comfortable the best shoe for wider feet

So good...I own 2 pairs of the MX201

I have a very wide foot (EEE) and the MX201 has a very large toe box. My feet are comfortable and I can tighten or loosen the BOA enclosure easily. That's important for me after a long day of riding. On one pair of the MX201s I have SPD cleats and on the other pair I have hustle bike magnetic cleats. Both work amazingly well on this shoe. I ride primarily enduro, back country, single track, and park. The MX201 breathes well and is extremely durable. The bottom sole is stiff which means I don't get a hot spot in the shoe. I also hike my bike a lot on back country trails, and the shoes are pretty good for that as well. I also used the comfort plus cleat caps for riding on flat pedals. I was not a fan. The bottom of the soles are great with cleats, but don't offer enough stickiness and isn't soft enough to use on flat pedals at least for my style of MTB riding. Otherwise these are my goto shoes for riding.
