Bontrager XXX LE bike shoes review

We suspect the XXX LE’s looks are likely to be rather polarising, but we think the design’s superb and the super-reflective outer is a fantastic touch (the black half ‘glows’ strikingly when lit up).

The closure system of three Velcro straps is simple but effective, and the soles are super-stiff – to the point where, if you’re coming from something lower-end, you might find them uncomfortable while you get used to them.

Another impressive feature is the ventilation. With the upper containing a lot of mesh, your feet stay cool effortlessly.

The heel grip does a sterling job ensuring your feet don’t slip, and the replaceable heel bumper means you might force a bit more life out of your shoes after they’ve started to wear.

Verdict: May be too stiff for some, yet are light and reflective, 83%
