Trek RSL Mountain Shoe Questions
Hot foot, numbness, and tingling are not new issues for people who ride bikes - it's just a part of the sport. But, with Trek's METNET technology, it doesn’t have to be that way. METNET is a new innovation, proprietary to Trek, engineered specifically to alleviate those issues. Through a responsive design that allows the shoe to stretch and compress around the forefoot, METNET helps to bring relief to those common foot discomforts. When you feel better, your ride is better.
METNET provides stretch in areas of the shoe that most commonly cause foot-related discomfort or pain, specifically around the ball of the foot at the 1st and 5th metatarsal heads and the 5th metatarsal tuberosity. Stretch is created by laminating a uniquely perforated synthetic upper with a stretchy backer, creating a zone of relief in those key areas of the foot.
