When you're out on the trail, every detail counts - including the right footwear. With the right mountain bike shoes, you can get more out of every pedal stroke: better power transmission, a secure grip and more control on any underground surface. At Transa, you will find a large selection of high-quality bike shoes - online at Transa.ch or in one of our stores in your area. We also have shoe covers to match your mountain bike shoes to protect you from the cold and wet.
Whether for ambitious touring riders, downhill fans or leisurely after-work laps - our bike shoes from brands such as Five Ten, Endura, Scott and fi'zi:k are tailored to a wide range of needs and areas of use.
One of the most frequently asked questions is: Do I need mountain bike shoes for flat pedals or clipless pedals? The answer depends on your riding style.
Flat pedal shoes are ideal if you want maximum freedom of movement or are just starting out on your bike. They have a grippy sole that adheres perfectly to platform pedals - like the legendary Five Ten models. Many trail and enduro riders also rely on flat pedals because they offer more freedom when riding.
Clipless pedal shoes (also known as SPD shoes) are the first choice if efficiency and direct power transmission are important to you. They fix your feet to the pedals and allow you to pedal more smoothly and effortlessly. Models from Scott, Endura and fi'zi:k offer a perfect combination of stiffness and comfort.
We often hear this question - and the answer depends on your riding style. If you tend to ride technical trails with flat-pedals, grippy shoes like those from Five Ten are just the thing. For cross-country or long tours with clipless pedals, we recommend stiffer models from Scott or fi'zi:k, which transmit your pedaling power optimally. Do you want all-rounders for tours, trails and everyday use? Then Endura shoes with a robust construction and plenty of comfort are ideal.
Many of our customers ask precisely this question. The answer: yes - but with restrictions. Some flat pedal shoes, such as those from Five Ten, look like normal sneakers and are also comfortable when walking. However, they are not optimized for long hikes or city strolls. Clipless pedal shoes, on the other hand, often have stiff soles that make walking uncomfortable in the long run. If you are looking for shoes for both, we will be happy to advise you in person or by phone. The classic Samba design from Adidas is now even available as cycling shoes.
Whether you're out and about in the Alpstein, the Jura or the bike park - with the right mountain bike shoes, every tour becomes an experience. At Transa.ch you can buy your new bike shoes from the comfort of your own home or with individual advice in one of our stores. Also discover our wide range of cycling clothing, helmets, backpacks and everything you need to make your bike adventure perfect.
