Save 35% on Fox Union Flat shoes. Were £130, now £85 The Fox Union Flats immediately became a firm favourite with the MBR team when they dropped last year and are one of my go-to riding shoes.

The Fox Union Flat shoes are a firm favourite among MBR’s staff.
I’ve ridden in the Union Flats in all weathers and trail conditions and they have proved to be top performers. Pedal grip from Fox’s Ultrac rubber soles is excellent come rain, shine or thick mud, and is up there with the likes of Five Ten’s Stealth and Specialized’s SlipNot compounds. After six to eight months of riding, the shoes are still in pretty decent shape. The one-piece uppers clean up very well after filthy rides, the soles are showing signs of wear from pedal pins as you’d expect, but are not so soft that they’ve been wrecked prematurely.
Fit-wise, I’ve found the Union Flats to be comfortable with decent arch support and shock absorption, and they’re true to size too. Pedal feel isn’t quite as good as Freerider Pros, but the Fox shoes have slightly stiffer soles. My size 44 EU shoes weigh in at 838g, which is 90g heavier than Five Ten Freerider Pros, but 100g a pair lighter than the Specialized 2FO DH flat shoe. The only downside is that the laces are a tad short and aren’t the best quality – the originals are still hanging on in there on my test pair though.
