Sandal maker Teva has entered the mountain bike shoe area with its new Pivot. At first glance these seem to be just another pair of casual shoes – but like many new shoes we’ve seen – there is more than meets the eye. These provide a recessed sole for cleats and the Pivot works with Shimano’s SPD as well as Crankbrothers pedal systems.
This makes the shoes ideal for commuting to work, while the Spider365 Rubber soles will grip all sorts of surfaces. The composite midsole plate makes it ideal for pedaling efficiency and walkability.
There are plenty of bicycles designed for commuters, and a lot of accessories including bags and apparel. But one piece of equipment often missing is the right shoe! Road and mountain shoes can be a problem as many buildings don’t like the idea of cleats on their precious floors. This makes it hard to keep a pair of shoes at the office and commute in with bike shoes.
