Shimano SH-GF800 Gravity Flat MTB Shoes GORE-TEX®
Item number: 92644
Shimano SH-GF800 with GORE-TEX® - high-performance all-weather shoes for flat pedals
The Shimano SH-GF800, GF8 for short, are waterproof platform pedal shoes for gravity use in wet, cold conditions. The built-in GORE-TEX membrane and a sock-like insert with elasticated ankle cuff keep your feet warm and dry. Equipped with a slightly harder Ultread GF outsole with water drainage channels, these shoes offer secure grip in low temperatures and thus support the control of the bike. A TORBAL 2.0 midsole plate, which is stiff in the centre and flexible on the sides, additionally improves feedback in high-speed descents and corners. The BOA L6 dial system is easily adjustable and secured with a plastic guard so that it does not loosen unintentionally when in contact with obstacles. The SH-GF800 are generously dimensioned in the toe and heel area, but close-fitting at the ball of the foot, which benefits power transmission. A multi-layer foam insole cushions impacts and contributes to more stability downhill with its flexibility. To protect your toes, a robust toe cap is used.

Technology:
Ultread GFOutsoles with Ultread GF rubber compound and tread are optimised for gravity use with platform pedals. This compound is soft and durable and is slow to return to its original shape after deformation. Combined with the grippy hexagonal block pattern, it provides improved traction and constant contact with the pedal, even on rough surfaces. Shoes with Ultread GF therefore offer excellent pedal grip and support control over the bike.
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.
