Mountain bike shoe deals 2025 – today’s best discounts on MTB footwear

Mountain bike-specific shoes can be expensive which makes it tempting to make do with an old pair of trainers. However, picking up a pair of mountain bike shoes brings some considerable benefits, in terms of comfort, protection, and control. If you've been holding off picking up a new pair or your old MTB shoes are getting a bit worse for wear then we recommend checking out the new year sales – with the help of this guide to the best new year mountain bike shoe deals available, you may well find yourself a bargain.
