Announced on 11 November 2026, Leatt has released two new flat-pedal mountain-bike shoes built around its SuperTack rubber compound, with availability through its retailers across South Africa. For riders who prefer flats for trail, enduro, e-MTB, gravity riding or skills sessions, this is useful kit news: more shoe choice, more local availability, and a stated women’s size range rather than the usual lucky-dip at the shop wall.
Two SuperTack models
The launch covers two models: the low-top Flat 3.0 SuperTack and the mid-top ProFlat 5.0 SuperTack BOA. Leatt says the SuperTack sole uses an optimised soft-compound rubber developed over six years, through seven rubber-compound iterations and five outsole-pattern revisions.
Leatt’s release also points to a new sole layout, with raised lugs and deep channels set on an off-centre bias to follow the rider’s stance on the pedals. Both models combine that outsole design with the SuperTack rubber compound, with Leatt positioning the result around flat-pedal grip.
Flat 3.0 and ProFlat 5.0 details
The Flat 3.0 SuperTack is the lower-profile, laced option. It is aimed at trail and gravity riding, pump tracks and dirt jumping, and uses KnitNet construction across the forefoot and cuff, Stretch Laces, lace-stash pockets and a CORDURA outer fabric. Leatt lists the shoe at approximately 320 g per shoe in EU 43.
The ProFlat 5.0 SuperTack BOA sits higher on the ankle and is described as Leatt’s top-tier flat-pedal footwear. It adds a BOA LI2 dial closure for micro-adjustable fit and is listed at approximately 335 g per shoe in EU 43.
Both models are available in Black or Vapor Grey. The shared construction includes CORDURA re/cor 1260D uppers made from 100% recycled materials, Cat Tongue directional fabric in the heel, and an EVA insole with antimicrobial silver thread.
Colours, construction and sizing
The listed sizing runs from men’s US 6–13, UK 5.5–12.5 and EU 38.5–48.5, plus women’s US 6–9.5, UK 4.5–8 and EU 37.5–42. That matters for women who ride flats because range and availability are often the difference between choosing the right shoe and making do. Shoes will not magically pick your line for you — rude, frankly — but more clearly specified flat-pedal options in South African retail channels are worth noting.
