Product Information

Full details

The Ride Concepts Wildcat trainers are high-performance flat mountain bike shoes designed for trail and freestyle riders seeking a blend of durability, protection, and grip. These shoes provide excellent ankle stability through a mid-top profile and a secure hook-and-loop strap system, making them ideal for aggressive riding. However, the robust construction and weather-resistant materials mean they may feel slightly warmer and less breathable during intense summer rides compared to lightweight, mesh-only alternatives.

FAQs

Are these shoes compatible with clipless pedals?

No, the Wildcat series is specifically designed as a flat pedal trainer and does not have a cleat box.

Are they waterproof?

The upper is made of weather-resistant microfiber, which helps protect against splashes and light mud, but they are not fully waterproof or submersible.

How do I ensure a good fit?

These follow standard adult sizing. Use the hook-and-loop strap to dial in the tightness around the ankle for a secure, locked-in feel.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the dual-density EVA insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.

How should I clean the MAX GRIP sole?

Simply use a brush and warm water to scrub out any mud or grit trapped in the tread pattern.

Troubleshooting

Poor pedal grip

Check your pedal pins for wear or debris. Clean the shoe outsole with a stiff brush to remove compacted dirt that may be preventing the rubber from contacting the pins.

Discomfort around the ankle

Ensure the shoe is fully laced and the hook-and-loop strap is adjusted to your comfort level. It may take a few rides for the mid-top collar to soften.

Odors inside the shoe

Remove the EVA insole and wash it separately. Stuff the shoe with newspaper to absorb moisture and ensure it is stored in a well-ventilated area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior ankle protection due to mid-height collar
  • Excellent grip provided by MAX GRIP rubber
  • Durable construction resistant to abrasions
  • Secure fit with integrated strap system
  • Prevents debris intake with gusseted tongue

Cons

  • Less breathable than mesh-only trainer variants
  • Slightly heavier due to protective features
  • Mid-top profile may take time to break in

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, ensure the laces are tightened evenly before securing the hook-and-loop strap across the ankle. The shoes are designed specifically for flat pedals; ensure your pedals have sharp pins to maximize the efficacy of the MAX GRIP rubber.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After muddy rides, use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to remove debris. Avoid submerging in harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like heaters or radiators, which can damage the microfiber materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the gusseted tongue is dry before long-term storage to prevent odors.
