After decades of success in the cross-country and road world, Sidi has recently developed a mountain bike shoe for us gravity fiends, the Dimaro. We received Sidi’s Dimaro shoe late last year and couldn’t wait to mount some cleats and see how these clipless mountain bike shoes would perform. The looks impressed us right away, the Vibram sole looked to have a really effective pattern and tacky rubber, it was time to ride.
Sidi collaborated with Vibram to create a Megagrip sole that is stiff, smooth but still offers grip when you need it. When trying to spread the triangular-shaped lugs and sticking fingernails into the Vibram sole, our staff commented on the slow rebounding characteristics and how gummy or soft the rubber felt. This was verified as we spent a bit of time walking on wet rocks and logs with great success.

From The Loam Wolf
The Loam Wolf has been watching from the woods and mountains above, waiting for the right time to attack the status quo. We have descended, hell-bent and heaven-sent to reignite the stoke in riders around the world. Our pack has been growing and we smell blood. The passion, wildness, and grassroots love for our sport will no longer go without a voice. The Wolf Pack is here, and we will do our best to unite photographers, industry friends, athletes and mountain bikers of all kinds while giving them a voice and place to remember why they fell in love with riding bikes.
