Durable rubber outsole
The Sleuth uses Stealth S1 rubber outsole technology. This innovation is durable. It does not leave any mark on indoor floors.
Flat outsole design
The Sleuth employs a flat outsole design. This shoe type is suitable for any flat bike pedal model. Try it with the following top-rated bike pedal designs: OneUp Composite Pedals, Crank Brothers Stamp 3, Race Face Chester, Shimano XT PD-M8040, Diety TMac, and Race Face Atlas.
Cycling shoes with flat outsoles give riders the freedom to plant their feet any time they need to, especially during urgent times. They eliminate the fear of hitting the ground due to not unclipping out of the pedal in time. Moreover, this allows cyclists to focus on honing their technical skills on rough trails.

This shoe’s suede and canvas upper offers superb durability to get more extended wear. In addition to this, metal-clad eyelets help improve sturdiness.
The upper’s simple design exudes a relaxed demeanor. Closely resembling the classic skate shoe’s aesthetic, this pair looks stylish enough for the bar or for just chilling with friends.
Excellent lockdown fit
With a reinforced heel cup along with a lace-up closure system, wearers are treated with a secure lockdown fit. Hence no user worries about heel slippage.
Good-looking and stylish
The Sleuth model features a slightly cushioned insole. Combined with a die-cut EVA midsole, this shoe provides enhanced in-step comfort and cushioning.
