Mavic 2012 Rush Men's Mountain Bike Shoe (Black - 7.5)
Product Description
The Mavic Rush Shoes have many of the features of the top of the line Mavic Fury, but at a price and comfort level that is preferred by many cross-country riders.Not everyone wants to pay for or put up with carbon soles in their cross-country shoes. Cost can be an issue. Why spend big bucks on shoes that will inevitably get trashed in the mud and dirt. Another reason to steer clear of carbon is the stiffness of the sole. While a big plus for transferring 100% of your leg power to the pedals, it can be a drawback when shouldering the bike and hiking up a steep, slippery slope since it doesn't flex easily. The sole on these Rush Shoes is nylon with glass fiber reinforcement. This allows for flex at the toe so you can hike and climb over rocky ledges without feeling unnatural. At the same time, the area from the cleat to the heel is plenty stiff enough to transmit power to the pedals. Like the Fury Shoes, the Rushs use Mavic's Contragrip outsole. We've worn lots of shoes and it's the best thing we've worn. It's a sticky durable rubber and is beyond compare when treading technical, rocky terrain. Up front, there is a toe cap that both protects your toes and adds durability to the shoe. The upper has the familiar ratcheting buckle with two Velcro straps, forgoing the more complicated cable-and-Velcro system of the Fury.Inside the shoe is the Ergo Fit 2D insole. It's a two-density insole with a high-density heel cradle. The insole is covered in an anti-bacterial material that resists stink. The foot is protected at the top of the shoe with a micro vent tongue. It's perforated for ventilation and lightly padded to give a little cush, but not so much that your foot has room to move around when pulling up. The Mavic Rush Shoes come in sizes 7 - 12.5 in whole and half sizes. The shoes come with removable toe spikes. There are two color options -- Black or White. Weight (for a size 8.5 shoe) is 375g per shoe.

nothing to do with over-tightening...The release is made of plastic. My clasp broke while riding. I hit something out on the trails and it broke. It's a $50 replacement if your shop doesn't have pull with the rep. I was able to replace under warranty. Try getting out of your shoes using a screwdriver as a makeshift release lever.It's a good shoe but in the rocky hills and under agressive riding conditions I will not be buying these again for that reason. Sad, because I am fan of a lot of Mavic's products. This one is a failure.If you wear them on your road bike or for spin class I doubt you will have an issue with them but if you use them as they were intended on the trails you will be gambling with your investment.

Happy with delivery from Seller.Replaced my Pearl iZUMi Select MTB shoes which were too small with the Razor so I'll ignore basic fit for the review. I think the Razor has better padding around the ankle and tongue. The tread outsole is more rubbery so has more traction upon dismount ideal on tarmac if you cyclocross. Toe spikes are drilled where the Pi Select did not provide.

This shoes are the best I ever had, fit well and very comfortable, lite and easy to walk with. I previously used Bontrager, Shimano and NorthWave.The only thing I found that in my opinion needs correcting is the Tong, its a bit short on the width, you have to tuck it in when you put the shoes on.
