Knowing your vices brings you closer to your obsessions

Evolved from the popular low top Vice, Vice Mid flies casually but packs a punch with a protective mid-top upper and internal toe protection. Dirt jump and slopestyle riders will relish the pedal feel and compliance of the RC Fuzion outsole- an inverse, gradient diameter hexagon pattern that brings the pedal closer to the rider. Paired with the HIGH GRIP rubber, the sloped-angle inverse hexagons, varying in diameter from 9mm at the toe and heel to 7mm at the pedal contact area, allow the pedal to “inject” into the outsole for unrivaled sensitivity.

Performance

Different terrain and riding styles can benefit from specific shoe features. Grip, protection, weight, and breathability are all factors that can affect your on-bike experience.

Level 2 Flex gives the rider the utmost pedal feel by allowing the foot to slightly curve over the pedal. Found on our Wildcat and Vice series—this flex is proven in the freeride community, and chosen by several of our Factory Team athletes. Not recommended for sustained descents or rough terrain.

Our medium volume last can accommodate a vast range of foot shapes, but an average volume foot will be most comfortable. Larger feet will be comfortable sizing a half-size up.

Technology

high grip icon. High grip is exclusively for RC Fusion

We utilize HIGH GRIP exclusively on our RC Fuzion outsole to realize the optimal blend of traction and adjustability. For dirt jump and Slopestyle athletes, this compound is ideal when neither grip nor throwing contest-winning tricks can be compromised.

an impact absorbing material, d30 is a staple in ride concepts shoes

We partner with D30 to incorporate impact absorbing materials in our insoles and medial collar protection throughout much of our line. This soft, lightweight and flexible material is ideal for footwear – reducing feedback from the trail and harsh impacts through our Zone Technology insoles and adding crank protection in our premium gravity and enduro models.
