After all, the shoe needs a good interface to connect with. If you're considering a new flat pedal shoe it's also worth upgrading to one of the best MTB flat pedals as well. We have reviews for both the Specialized 2FO Roost flat and Specialized 2FO Roost clip if you want more details on this superb shoe.
There is also a Specialized 2FO Roost Clip shoe too if clipless pedals are more your thing. Specialized has refined and championed its Body Geometry fit to provide a better fit and interaction with the pedaling process. The Roost features a Specialized's SlipNot ST rubber compound sole which is very grippy for flat-pedal stability and offers a damped feel. While the best mountain bike shoes come in a variety of styles and types for the different disciplines of riding, the Specialized 2FO Roost shoe is a great option for the trail/enduro rider looking for the best MTB flat pedal shoes. The right pair of shoes will not only save you some grams, but they will also lead to a more efficient pedal stroke and more overall comfort both on and off the bike. The final touchpoint on the bike is your feet.
