The Problem

YOU'VE BEEN SOLD SKATE SHOES FOR RIDING

Skateboarding brands don't build for pedals, pins, and crank strikes. Riders figured that out the hard way. So did we.

Greenville, NC — 1999

WE BUILT SCG BECAUSE WE WERE PISSED OFF TOO

Greenville, North Carolina, 1999. Steven Caro had ridden through every skate shoe brand the local shops carried — none of them lasted more than a few months of real riding. After a friend who rode for a skate shoe company told him to try a new model, he picked it up on a trip to SPoT in Florida. He immediately had a blowout on a wall ride to table. The shop got the rep on the phone for a warranty. Steven was told that shoe was for skateboarding, not for riding bikes — and they wouldn't help. So he got pissed off, drove back to Greenville, stopped complaining and started building. SCg was born as the first BMX and MTB rider-owned shoe company. We've never been backed by corporate money. We don't sponsor big ad campaigns. We put the budget in the build — then we built our own factory one sewing machine at a time in Bogotá, Colombia, because that's what we'd want as riders.

Construction

BUILT DIFFERENT.

Every spec exists because a rider demanded it. Not a focus group.

Outsole Thickness

5mm vs 1.5mm

Our outsole base is 5mm — 3.3× the ~1.5mm industry standard used by skate and casual shoe brands. It won't fold, compress, or taco on a pedal.

SCG Outsole 5mm
Industry Standard 2mm
3.3× Thicker than industry standard

I was never some big name rider but I sure as hell rode with the best all my years in Greenville. We ride bikes and build shoes that take that abuse.

BUILT TO RIDE. BUILT TO LAST.

Made by riders for riders since day one — tested and approved in the field by our team. SCg is the first rider-owned shoe company built specifically for BMX and MTB flat pedal. We came to Colombia about a decade ago and started building our own factory eight years ago — not with a grand opening, but with a single sewing machine. Rider-owned. Veteran-owned. Built in our own factory.

5mm Pin-Resistant Outsole

Built to withstand the abuse of platform pedal pins on every ride.

Reinforced Toe Cap + Heel Cup

Real impact protection where crank strikes and pedal edges hit hardest.

Padded Crank-Side Protection

Extra protection on the medial side where cranks and pedal spindles make contact.

Riders Don't Lie

This has been the best series. I'm shocked how affordable these shoes are in Australia. Will be my next pair of kicks for sure.

I was a die hard Vans fan for BMX, then I tried SCg and fell in love. Best insoles I've ever felt, very grippy on pedals.

Best flat pedal shoes EVER!! The soles look brand new after a year. Fantastic ankle protection. They mold to your feet the longer you wear them.

Had a pair of Sounds...The thick sole felt great on my old feet. Still using the insole years later. Great support.

Better than 5.10's for half the price. So easy to clean too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Greenville, NC — 1999

WE BUILT SCg BECAUSE
WE WERE PISSED OFF TOO.

Greenville, North Carolina, 1998. Steven Caro had ridden through every skate shoe brand the local shops carried — none of them lasted more than a few months of real riding. A friend who rode for a skate shoe company told him to try a new model. He picked it up on a trip to SPoT in Florida. He immediately had a blowout on a wall ride to table.

The shop got the rep on the phone for a warranty. Steven was told that shoe was for skateboarding, not for riding bikes — and they couldn't help.

So he got pissed off, drove back to Greenville, stopped complaining and started building.

SCg launched in 1999 as the first BMX and MTB rider-owned shoe company. We've never been backed by corporate money. We don't sponsor big ad campaigns. We put the budget in the build — then we built our own factory one sewing machine at a time in Bogotá, Colombia, because that's what we'd want as riders.
