EMTB clipless shoes

[MateNako]

Hey guys!

I'm looking for a new set of "enduro" shoes.
Currently I use Shimano SH-AM503 which are super comfy but the "flat" sole is sometime useless in woods / on trails where I need to push bike a bit through roots, clay or mud.

Do you have any recommendation for nice set of not-so-expensive shoes that would have nice solid thread and still be usable on Mallet-E pedals.

Any recommendation would be much appreciated

I can only recommend Crankbrothers own Mallet shoe.
It can be found in German online stores for around a hundred euros.

I’m quite happy with 5.10 hellcats

I have a pair of Shimano ME7 shoes, it's the second set I have had, and I had the older M200 before that. They are a great shoe with good grip off the bike, the ratchet closure is great and quick and easy to use and since changing from the M200 to the ME7 the sole is a lot more durable.

Seconded..the best I've had in near 30 years of riding mountain bikes..
* If we are talking Michelin soles version ..

Yes, the Michelin sole fixed the issues with the old M200 shoe.

Another +1 for ME7's. A friend has ME502's which are a bit more trail XC and have good reviews

ME7 it is then! Thank y'all!

Another happy ME7 user here (With Time Atacs). But needed to size up to get a decent fit.
In Winter switch to Specialized Defrosters.

I like the look of the ME7. I like the fold over flap holding the laces. I have been looking for the flat pedal equivalent with the same features, but can't find it. All sorts of Shimano flats, but not an ME7 lookey-likey. Anyone out there got one? Link please.

BITD shimano winter boots has screw in studs at the front. I havent ridden spd for years and couldnt say if this is still a thing.
But back then they were fantastic for getting grip pushing up muddy slopes.
