Leatt is a brand that always seems to be expanding. New products, new categories, and multiple price points for each new foray. That means the South African brand’s footwear range is, uh, extensive. After six months wearing three of Leatt’s 2026 options, its clear that quantity of options doesn’t rule out quality. All three are proving worthy options albeit with, like any other shoe, their individual quirks.
I published my initial thoughs on this trio at the start of the year. After many miles, here’s my final thoughts on the monsoon-worthy HydraDri ProClip 8.0, tech-casual RideOn 2.0 and do-it-all ProClip 6.0 Trail Boa. Three very different shoes to cover all kinds of riding in all seasons.
Leatt ProClip 6.0 Trail Boa review: A solid option for wider feet
The ProClip 6.0 Trail Boa sits in the middle of Leatt’s clipless trail shoe line. It had a firm, but not XC-stiff rating that stands up to aggressive descending but it’s also designed to be comfortable for the occasional hike a bike or stretch of walking. As an all-rounder this shoe, which does come in colours other than white, holds up well to that task. It is comfortable for long days of pedalling, if a bit heavy, and it feels solid for longer, more demanding descents.
Fit and functions
Starting with fit, the ProClip 6.0 Trail do fit wider than some other options out there. If you find Shimano’s gravity range too snug, Leatt could have the answer. That fit is adjusted via a single Boa Li2 dial. That tightens up what Leatt calls a “translucent polymer upper with TPU overlay” which, as promised, keeps the shoe cool when the weather gets sweaty. A solid heel pad helps keep the 6.0 Trail in place under heavy efforts.
That Li2 dial uses Boa’s woven TX-series textile lace instead of the wire (as found on the HydraDri below), and there is only one dial. These textile laces feel different than the wire laces in that you can pull on a part of the lace and the entire thing won’t tighten, just the section that you pull. This is on purpose. It’s designed to be a bit more supple while still being secure. There are upsides and downsides to this. I found that it almost always took a second tightening, or third, of the Li2 dial once I’d started riding to get them to fit right once my foot had settled in and the lace pressure had evened out. On the other hand, the whole shoe is quite…
