Scott MTB Team Carbon Shoes

I swapped out the cleats and the HMX carbon sole feels incredibly stiff—pedaling uphill is noticeably more efficient now. The microfiber upper breathes well even on hot rides, and the dual velcro plus buckle closure keeps my foot locked in place.

The wrap fit on these is snug right out of the box, and the microfiber upper breathes better than my old shoes. Pedaling feels direct and efficient with zero flex.

The carbon sole is incredibly stiff—climbing out of the saddle feels like every watt goes straight to the pedals. The wrap fit from the microfiber upper is snug without any pressure points, even after two hours. No complaints at all, these are pure race day tools.
