Description
The West Ridge mid-cut is a flat pedal shoe designed for all terrain use. Constructed with a dual compound outsole using higher durometer RH for the outer perimeter and softer, vibration absorbing VC compound for the center tread.
A higher durometer compound at the perimeter makes for an overall more durable and consistently fitting shoe. The low rebound properties of the VC compound center tread is superior at absorbing vibration and eliminating pedal feedback.
With our lock-down TPU heel strap and mid-cut collar height construction, overall fit is comfortably snug. Velcro instep cover to keep laces tucked in and dirt out.
