Description

The Camber CL MTB is a clipless-pedal compatible version of the Camber mountain bike shoe. While retaining the look of a skate-style flat shoe, it features a stiff shank and a two-bolt cleat recess in the sole for SPD-style pedal engagement. The upper is sturdy with a Velcro strap over the laces to secure the foot during aggressive riding. OCX3 Michelin rubber surrounds the cleat area to allow walking traction. Essentially, the Camber CL lets riders clip in without sacrificing the casual style etnies is known for, bridging the gap between BMX shoe feel and MTB functionality.

Reviews

Customers praised these MTB clipless shoes as "the most durable" with exceptional grip and comfort for long rides. The neoprene sock keeps debris out effectively. However, some noted concerns about wide upper fit, potential glue durability issues, and heat retention in hot weather. Sizing may run small.

  • By far the most durable MTB shoe I've ever worn.
  • Great even on long rides. I can go for miles and be comfortable throughout the ride.
  • Best downhill / enduro clip shoe I have worn to date. Comfortable, stiff, good for hike a bike.
  • 5 stars: 13 (76%)

Best bike shoe in existence for my use. But what if

I wish they would make a chunky old school skate shoe with clipless cleats. That would be ideal for bike polo, when I get hit in the foot with a 100mph grand slam. These shoes are fine for now though, great on and off the bike

This shoe is great even on long rides. I use it on my gravel bike and can go for miles and be comfortable throughout the ride. Love the looks. I can't go full roadie look quite yet.

Forget all other clip shoes.

Etnies knocked these out of the park. By far the most durable Mtb shoe I’ve ever worn.

Almost Perfect. I've bought two pairs of these so far.

Love these shoes. Extremely comfortable and the dirt gator keeps those tiny stones from getting in.
The only problems are is that they get swampy when riding in 95+ degree weather, but this happens to most non CX shoes. Also I hate tying laces and tucking them in. I removed the laces from the top two eyelets, clipped them, and installed a push button quick lace. That combined with the velcro is more than enough to secure them.

Wouldn’t call this a complain since I bought these shoes during the sale and I got what I payed for. After three rides the front of the shoe are peeling off,,looks like the glue it’s not as strong as the shoes look.

F*in awesome

Fit is great, I normally wear vans 10.5, went with a 10 in these and they were a bit snug at first but broke in for a perfect fit after one ride. The closure keeps small rocks out. I was impressed with the amount of toe protection.

Headed in the right direction

As a long time skateboarder turned mtb'er, I was excited that Etnies finally had a clipless mtb shoe. As an individual who spends long days in my bike shoes often with long hike-a-bikes through the San Juan Mountains, I find these to be quite comfortable. The sole isn't so stiff that it makes walking awkward and there is loads of grip to make those punchy pushes uphill much easier. They seem very well made, although more miles will ultimately determine how well they hold up.

There are two things about these shoes that I find odd or off-putting. First, the shoe seems to be made VERY wide in the upper part of the shoe at mid-foot. There is such an excess of material that I can pinch multiple layers together on the inside of the shoe (above the foot arch). It doesn't seem to serve a purpose and makes it difficult to get a secure fit. I have a medium width foot and could not imagine what the foot looks like that these were built around. Secondly, the neoprene sock... I really like the idea, but the execution needs some revisions. As there is no stitching in the upper part of the neoprene holding it to the shoe, it creates a very large hollow space between the shoe and the excess material mentioned above. After my first ride in these, I dumped a large amount of dirt out and had to spend some time digging what I could out. Some of that dirt will live in there forever and continue to collect every ride. Some people may be fine with these flaws and think you should try them on for yourself, but they were deal breakers for me. I really wanted to like these shoes and I will probably keep them around for certain days/rides, but I will need to purchase something different as a daily driver.

Best MTB Clip Shoe

Best downhill / enduro clip shoe I have worn to date. Coming off the Giro Chamber and Afton clip shoe. Comfortable, stiff, good for hike a bike, dry feet in the rain. 10/10

Solid shoes

Clip location is great, solid mount. Comfortable to walk in and wear off the bike. The ankle skirt is fairly tight and can be a nuisance to get on but, it does the job and not something that would prevent me from buying. I have a wide foot and my size fit fine, although I have the Camber Mids in flats in a 1/2 size bigger and they fit better. You may want to size up 1/2 a size. Overall, great shoe! I will buy again when the current pair wears out.

These shoes are the absolute best! The grip, comfort and style is all there and so far the shoes have lasted me longer then most others

Super grippy

I’ve heard good things about the grip on the etnies so I had to try them out myself. Was not disappointed. I run magped pedals and these fit like a dream. Even when not fully engaged in some sketchy sections, you’re pinned. Only wish they were more slim in the top profile. They are wider than I’m used too. But that’s more about looks than feel and comfort.

Always been an etnies fan for bmx shoes. This clipless shoe has been everything I’d imagined it to be and more! Stiff enough to put all the watts down, but supple enough to walk around in and not be uncomfortable. The gator provides a nice feel around the ankle and helps keep your feet dry through water crossings. The shoe is not very heavy either. For DH/enduro/trail riding there is no better shoe on the market. It blows the competitors out of the water! 12/10 would absolutely recommend!

Amazing

I love these shoes. I previously rode van sk8-his on OneUp or DMR Vault pedals. I switched over to Magpeds (also highly recommend) but was stuck with an old pair of Five Ten Hellcat Pros. They were so stiff and unresponsive and downright uncomfortable. The Cambers are like little clouds for my feet. They super comfy, not as stiff feeling, and a lot easier to walk in. The integrated neoprene sock has kept lots of rocks out of my shoes too. They fit Magped enduro plates perfectly. 10/10 would recommend if you’re like me and hate how stiff Fivetens are (I also tried Ride Concepts and had the same issue). I can finally feel my pedals under my feet and track walk easier. They’re not as soft as Vans, but they’re a great middle ground.

Best CL MTB Shoes?

Etnies have always topped the list as my favorite skate shoe, so naturally I was stoked to see that they were entering the MTB industry. This is hands down my favorite clipless shoe I’ve used and I’ve sampled my fair share. The cleat channel offers a consistent and clean interface between the pedal and sole, something that the likes of the Giro Chamber II doesn’t provide. The sole is plenty stiff for some long days on the bike or heavy hitting terrain, however, the toe is flexible enough for adventure rides or light trail work. The styling of the shoe is perfect. Only positive things to say about all of the Etnies MTB shoes that I’ve used so far!
