Shimano SH-GE500 Gravity Enduro MTB Shoes

Shimano SH-GE500 - grippy, comfortable MTB shoes for clipless pedals

Shimano designed the SH-GE500 shoes, called GE5 for short, for downhill and enduro use with clipless pedals. A breathable mesh upper with skater-style lacing and additional strap provides a snug fit and comfort. Equipped with a less stiff, but very grippy Ultread GE outsole, the shoes support bike control. A long pedal channel optimises stability even when unclipped. A TORBAL 2.0 midsole plate, which is firm in the centre and flexible on the sides, additionally improves feedback in high-speed descents and corners. To increase pedalling efficiency, the cleats have been positioned in the midfoot area. A medium high foam insole cushions shocks. To protect your feet, the upper is raised on the inside of the ankle and the sole is raised on the side.

Technology:

Ultread GE
Outsoles with Ultread GE rubber compound and tread are optimised for gravity use with clipless pedals. They offer excellent grip during intense downhill rides and strenuous climbs on foot, even when it gets slippery. A grippy hexagonal block pattern, an elongated pedal channel and a special profile for the toe and heel area contribute to stability and bike control. Ultread GE is the first choice for demanding, technical mountain biking.

TORBAL 2.0
The incorporated TORBAL 2.0 midsole plate is stiff but flexible on the sides. This improves control in fast descents and when cornering.

Size Guide:

These Shimano shoes run smaller than you might expect from their size. It is best to order one size larger than usual.
