Hey everybody, welcome to the single tracks podcast.

My name is Jeff, and today Aaron and I are going to be telling you almost everything you need to know about mountain bike shoes.

When we first started looking at this topic, we thought it was going to be kind of boring,

but we found out a lot of interesting stuff about

mountain bike shoes that were excited to share. So I want to start off by talking about

clipless pedals and how that came to be. So originally in the really olden days, there was a

system that involved a strap and a slot that was actually in the sole of the shoes. So the pedal had

sort of a pin on it and people would slide their slotted shoe into the pedal. And then there

was a strap that would then go over the top of the shoe to keep the shoe from sliding out

backwards. So it's kind of hard to explain on a podcast, but if you can't imagine it,

the biggest problem was that when you stopped riding your bike, you had to lean down and

actually undo the strap to get your shoe out, which sounds pretty tricky.

There was also at the same time another system that was out there that involved what we know today as toe clips or more of like a cage, a toe cage that was on the end of the pedal that riders would slip their foot into.

A lot of times these cages also had a strap to keep it on the shoe but people realized quickly that this system also wasn't that

great for getting in and out of especially on mountain bike trails and so that's where the

clippless pedal came in because it got, it did away with

that toe clip system. Right. Yeah, because with the toe clips, you know, you are firmly attached to

your bike. And inevitably, when you're mountain biking, you're going to crash at some point.

And it's kind of important that the bike maybe doesn't go with you.
