Mavic Mountain Bike Shoes

Anyone using any of the men's models? The Fury and the Tempo have had excellent reviews, and do come in small sizes. People say they fit like a glove.

I have the Mavic Scorpio - and they do fit quite snugly, I've been told that all of the Mavic shoes do. I will be interested in learning your experience, whatever you decide. I've had my Scorpios for 2 seasons now and I still can't quite tell if they are too small for me or not - it is very close.

Cathrin,

That makes me wonder whether the men's might have a better fit. They carry a lot of small sizes in the men's, down to a 5.5, which makes me believe there must be women buying them.

Don't wear the MTB shoes but I am on my 2nd pair of Mavic road shoes- love love love them and they have a great warranty protection.

I have read that they have great adjustability and glove like fit. Which road pair do you have?

I have found out some great information from The Competitive Cyclist, a online shop. The Mavic men's mtn bike shoes are very low volume, and they get a lot of orders from women.

I know TE likes to carry women specific stuff, but there are so few options for women for higher end shoes, that Mavic might be one to look at.

Mavic does offer women's mtb shoes - but they have more of a selection for the men...

As always, a better selection for men! And it's the 21st Century?

Indeed, but it is still pretty much a male dominated sport - especially mountain biking. That IS, however, slowly changing and hopefully it won't be too long before women have just as many choices

I just stopped at a bike shop yesterday and learned that Mavic has horrible customer service. A shame as their shoes seem really good.

For those that are wearing the Mavics, do you have a wide or a narrow foot?

I have a narrowish foot.

I wear and love my Mavic road shoes, and have an average foot width.

How are the heels on the Mavic women's shoes? We have Mavic shoes at work, but only the men's version. I tried the road shoes on (that's what I was looking for) and was very disappointed that they didn't fit in the heel because they felt so wonderful everywhere else.

These seem to fit quite well for me in the heel, and I have had some issues with heel slippage in the past. (If that's what you mean.) They are comfortably wide enough in the toebox without being too wide, and snug enough in the heel. I had always worn Shimano shoes in the past as they seemed to fit me best, and the Mavic's fit considerably better for me.

And agreed on the length. I wear a 40 (US size 8) in the Mavic's, a 8.5 sneaker (Nike) and wore 41's in my Shimano road shoes, although a 40 in my Shimano MTB shoes.
