I purchased The Vice for light trail use, though primarily intended for off-trail and everyday wear. They were advertised as having enough flex for casual use while being durable enough for the trail—and they absolutely live up to that claim. Well priced for the functionality of an everyday and a biking shoe.
I was pleasantly surprised by how clean, stylish, and functional these shoes are. They fit and feel fantastic—lightweight yet supportive, with reinforced protection in key areas including the sides, sole, and top of the toe box.
The quality and performance exceeded my expectations. I’ve enjoyed wearing them for a variety of activities: casually around town, while driving, out for errands, and even out to dinner. They offer great versatility and all-day comfort.
For trail use, especially singletrack riding, they’re built to handle the demands. The reinforced toe cap provides added protection and comfort, giving me confidence that these shoes will perform well while ripping up the singletrack.
All in all, a great blend of casual style and rugged capability. Highly satisfied.
Well done RC.
