Shimano XC1 MTB Shoes present us with a simple model but it also is very comfortable, safe, stable, durable, lightweight, breathable, and with the best traction in pedals and terrains for the practice of mountain biking. These cycling shoes are made with a rubber outsole with an XC race pattern and a midsole with reinforced nylon with glass fiber that promotes stable sensation, excellent energy transfer, and lightness. The SPD system increases control of pedaling in a different style of driving, while the Dynalast Shimano technology reduces effort. The upper has synthetic leather with perforations that allow greater breathability and thanks to wrapped construction, you will feel better support. These mountain biking boots include three Velcro straps that are responsible for holding the foot comfortably and safely.Performance Xc Mtb Shoe With Shimano Quality And Design.Features:- Perforated synthetic leather composite upper enables superior fit and breathability.- Three durable hook & loop straps evenly spread tightening force across the top of the foot.- Offset strap relieves tension at highest point of the foot.- Surround wrapping upper structure reduces overlap and provides a glove-like fit.- Lightweight glass fiber reinforced nylon sole for power transfer.- Rubber XC racing pattern outsole promotes stable pedal engagement and secure walking grip.Specifications:- Cleat type: SPD- Last type: SHIMANO DYNALAST- Best match pedal: PD-ME700, PD-M520- Features_Surround wrapping upper: Yes- Technology_SHIMANO DYNALAST: Yes- Closure: 3-straps- Upper Material: Synthetic leather+Mesh- Outsole Material: Rubber- Midsole Material: Glass fiber reinforced Nylon- Standard insole: Flat insole- Men´s Actual weight (Size: 42): 334 gSynthetic Leather:- Lighter, stronger and more durable than natural leathersOffset Straps:- Asymmetric straps relieve pressure pointsTechnologies:Optimized Shoe Last:- The toe-spring section of a cycling shoe plays a key role in supporting efficient pedaling. Too high, and it causes increased tension in the plantar, calf, and hamstring muscles. Too low, and you get a bowlegged, inefficient pedaling form. Extensive research by Shimano´s R&D experts has produced a superior shoe last design with an optimized toe-spring section that promotes a smoother, more energy-efficient upstroke. Built based on feedback from pro riders, Shimano Dynalast helps reduce energy loss on long rides, letting you keep more in the tank for that final sprint to the line.Shimano Pedaling Dynamics:On/off the bike:- SPD is a system that performs whether you're on or off the bike. It makes pedaling more efficient with a wide variety of shoe and pedal styles and the recess cleat makes walking more comfortable. You can pedal with greater efficiency, stability and comfort with the SPD system.Comfort to the Walk:- SHIMANO invented SPD to meet the needs of a growing frontier lifestyle called MTB. By eliminating toe-clips and integrating the pedal and outsole into a single, unified power transfer system, SHIMANO changed the industry, not only boosting power to the pedal, but also the rider's control over increasingly adventurous styles of riding. Today there's no single MTB style, and no single SPD pedal to match. It's all over the landscape, from fast paced XC racing to steep, rocky, wet, rooted and muddy trails. SHIMANO SPD pedals are keeping up. The legacy of in-the-dirt dependability, reliability and sheer endurance continues as shoe-pedal designs evolve to meet the needs of your personal style of ride. System-engineered. Rider-tuned.
