Shimano SH-XC502E Wide MTB Shoes

The SH-XC502 Cross-Country Shoes by Shimano in a wide design

The Shimano SH-XC502 shoe is also available in a special version for wider feet, called XC5E for short. Like the standard version, it ensures plenty of performance in cross-country use with its BOA-L6 twist closure and fibreglass-reinforced midsole. The shoes have been equipped with the Ultread-XC rubber outsole, which sets new standards in terms of grip and durability. The upper shoe made of synthetic leather, mesh and TPU is constructed with less material overlap, which improves comfort as well as fit and saves on weight. You can quickly and conveniently make individual adjustments using the turn dial. The shoe's stabilising midsole and Dynalast technology ensure maximally efficient power transfer, resulting in longer performance. Replaceable cleats round off this high-performance model.

Technology:

Ultread XC
Ultread XC is a rubber compound developed by Shimano for the outsoles found specifically on cross-country and cyclocross road shoes. It is lightweight, grippy and performs well in both dry and wet conditions. Outsoles with Ultread XC have specific textured areas that make it easier to clip into SPD pedals and provide traction when clipped out. Thanks to the abrasion resistance of the rubber compound, they are very robust and resist contact with roots or stones.

Shimano Dynalast
Shimano's Dynalast technology is a shoe last design with less toe rise. It creates a smoother upward motion when pedalling, which is more energy efficient and therefore improves performance. Less power is lost and you tire less quickly.

Size Guide:

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