The 'Mid' was designed and developed to withstand the abuse of riding flat pedal BMX, MTB, and skating while remaining comfortable and stylish. The ankle area is a bit taller than 'Sound' for those who prefer a little more ankle support and protection. This riding shoe is designed to offer more ankle coverage than the 'LoPro' and the 'Sound'; the 'Mid' uses a slightly angled cut that crosses the ankle. It features our full-length EVA midsole, along with our custom polyurethane insole to be high-impact resistant and durable. The outsole is 400 NBS rubber for wear resistance, with a herringbone tread pattern to keep it gripping your pedal pins, no matter the shape. Over 5mm of rubber across the entire outsole prevents tears and as your shoe wears, the grip isn't compromised. It is both glued and stitched around the entire outsole for durability with light padding around the ankle.
