Frequently asked questions
Are these shoes compatible with flat pedals?
The Women’s Flume ‘24 is specifically designed for flat pedals, providing optimal connection and control for this pedal type.
Is the Women's Flume '24 suitable for wider feet?
The Women’s Flume ‘24 is designed with a medium-volume last, which is specifically engineered to provide a versatile and comfortable fit for a wide range of foot shapes.
Does the D3O® insole effectively reduce fatigue?
Yes, a core feature of the Women’s Flume ‘24 is its integrated technology designed to minimize impact and reduce rider fatigue during long trail and All-Mountain sessions.
This benefit is achieved through:
- D3O® High Impact Zone Technology: This material is integrated directly into the insole, specifically engineered to absorb heavy impact forces. By dampening these shocks, the technology significantly reduces stress and fatigue on your feet over challenging terrain and extended rides.
- EVA Midsole: The supportive EVA midsole complements the insole by providing underlying support and reliable shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort and stability throughout your ride.
Does the upper use durable Cordura® mesh?
Yes, the Women’s Flume ‘24 features a highly durable and protective upper engineered for demanding trail riding. Its construction prioritizes toughness and breathability:
- Material: The upper is a lightweight bonded construction featuring Cordura® mesh, offering superior airflow and high resistance to trail abrasion.
- Durability: It uses a fully welded and stitch-free design for maximum robustness.
- Protection: Includes a TPU mud guard, along with reinforced TPU protection at the toe and heel, supplemented by an anti-abrasion film.
- Debris Control: A fully gusseted tongue prohibits the intake of dirt and trail debris.
Do these shoes offer great hike-a-bike traction?
Yes, the Women’s Flume ‘24 is designed with versatile traction features specifically to ensure reliable grip during hike-a-bike sections.
The shoe’s construction emphasizes off-bike performance through the following elements:
- Reverse Hex Traction Pattern: The outsole strategically uses a compliant reverse hex pattern in the toe and heel areas. This unique design provides necessary bite for secure ascending climbs and controlled descending when you are off your bike.
- MAX GRIP Rubber: While this proprietary compound is optimized for superior flat pedal connection, it also delivers reliable traction on various ground surfaces when hiking.
- Supportive Construction: The EVA midsole and supportive design offer the compliance needed for walking while maintaining trail toughness.
