Leatt has introduced two flat-pedal mountain bike shoes featuring its new SuperTack rubber compound, with UK pricing of £130 for the Flat 3.0 SuperTack and £170 for the ProFlat 5.0 SuperTack BOA.

Both models are available in Black or Vapor Grey. UK retailers interested in the range can contact their ZyroFisher account manager or email salesteam@zyrofisher.co.uk.

The launch follows a six-year development programme involving seven iterations of the rubber compound and five revisions of the outsole pattern. Leatt says the soft-compound rubber is designed to maximise pedal grip, working alongside elevated lugs and deep channels arranged on an off-centre bias to follow riders’ stance on the pedals.

Testing involved more than 100 riders alongside team riders including Chelsea Kimball, Josh “Ratboy” Bryceland, Clemens “C-Dog” Kaudela, Caleb Holonko and Sam “Dave” Hockenhull.

Bryceland said: “Been running SuperTacks for nearly a year, giving the guys feedback and yeah, they have really created something very, very good here. These things are insanely grippy.”

Flat 3.0 SuperTack

The £130 Flat 3.0 is a low-profile, laced shoe aimed at trail and gravity riding, pump tracks and dirt jumping.

It features Leatt’s KnitNet construction across the forefoot and cuff, with a form-fitting collar. The brand says the sock-like fit is designed to reduce pressure points, improve retention and keep debris out.

Stretch Laces expand and contract to accommodate foot swelling on longer rides and in higher temperatures, while a textured surface helps keep them tied. Lace Stash Pockets store excess laces between the KnitNet liner and the CORDURA re/cor outer fabric.

Claimed weight is approximately 320g per shoe in EU size 43.

ProFlat 5.0 SuperTack BOA

The £170 ProFlat 5.0 is Leatt’s top-tier flat-pedal shoe. Its mid-top design adds protection and support above the ankle, while a BOA LI2 dial system provides micro-adjustable fit.

Claimed weight is approximately 335g per shoe in EU size 43.

Shared features and sizing

Both shoes use CORDURA re/cor 1260D uppers, which Leatt describes as made from 100% recycled material and designed to resist tears, scuffs and abrasions. The fabric is also described as quick-drying, water-resistant and breathable.

Other shared features include a contoured last designed to accommodate wider feet, directional heel fabric to help prevent heel lift, and an EVA insole with antimicrobial silver thread to tackle odour and promote drying.

The men’s size range runs from UK 5.5–12.5 (EU 38.5–48.5), with women’s sizes from UK 4.5–8 (EU 37.5–42).
