Ankle-high cycling shoe for mountain biking
The AM MOAB MID WINTER STX offers everything a warm flat pedal shoe needs. Performance, extra grip and protection. The waterproof, half-cut flat pedal shoe made of high-quality, robust leather from Terracare is absolutely waterproof and breathable with its membrane sock construction. In addition, the environmentally friendly, highly functional Primaloft® Eco Gold insulation keeps feet warm and dry even on icy days. The half-height shaft, in combination with conventional lacing and a Velcro fastener, ensures a perfect hold. The stable seat is rounded off by the anatomically preformed Ortholite® insole, which ensures optimal power transmission thanks to the harder PU foam in the pedal area. Reinforced toe and heel caps provide further protection from knocks and rocks. The EVA midsole, which has an integrated cushioning element in the heel area, provides additional comfort and protection. The AM Flat sole with its graduated hexagon profile in the pedal area in combination with the soft SUPtraction® Flat rubber compound ensures perfect grip on the pedal and lots of riding fun. The sole has a deeper profile in the toe and heel area, which offers the necessary support when carrying and pushing.
The certified leather from Terracare® comes from German production and was manufactured in a particularly environmentally friendly manner. The comfortable insole from Ortholite® consists of environmentally friendly Eco Plush PU foam and 50% recycled polyester. The VAUDE Green Shape label stands for an environmentally friendly, functional product made from sustainable materials.

Velcro - uncomplicated Velcro fastener for bicycle bags
It's that easy! You can easily attach your bike bag from VAUDE to the bike frame with a weight-saving Velcro fastener. To do this, you simply wind the Velcro around the struts of your saddle and close it in the usual way. You can remove your saddlebag from the bike just as quickly.
Recycled PET - High quality polyester made from recycled PET bottles
Collecting, cleaning, granulating and spinning into high-quality polyester yarn: This is what the recycling cycle for PET bottles looks like. In the manufacturing process, VAUDE saves up to 50% energy and around 50% in CO2 emissions and completely dispenses with the use of new fossil raw materials from crude oil. This saves resources and keeps your ecological footprint small.
Eco Finish - environmentally friendly water and dirt repellent
This water and dirt repellent finish is applied to the outer fabric of your product. As a result, raindrops roll off - without the use of environmentally harmful fluorocarbons (PFC). This protects you from rain and keeps nature clean. Regular after-treatment is necessary for permanent water and dirt repellency.
