Shimano XC501 W MTB Shoes

The Shimano XC501W is a lightweight and high class MTB shoe for ladies. The middle sole has a relatively low height, stabilising the foot and resulting in maximum powertransfer to the pedals. This is helped by the fibreglass reinforcement of this sole, ensuring an even more efficient power transfer. The exclusive MICHELIN® rubber outer sole has a mud repellent tread with high traction. Making these shoes perform well when pushing the bike as well. When conditions get real extreme and rough, you can opt to use the reinforced spike mount for extreme circumstances. You can mount 18 mm spike option, with improved grip as a result.

The top of the Shimano XC501W is made of mesh, TPU and synthetic leather. Leading to a comfortable fit and improved breathability. The MTB shoe's comfortable fit is completed by the women specific shoe last. The BOA® L6 closure lets you adjust the fit quickly and easily. Even while on a ride you can just give it a little twist to finetune it while on the road. While great, the BOA® L6 closure is only used for the top of the shoe. The fit on the front half of the shoe can be adjusted by adjusting the velcro strap situated there.

Detailed explanation of sizing in mm
In order to help you, as best we can, to choose the right size shoe we have measured all the shoes ourselves. All that's left for you to do is measure your own foot length, and we'll tell you which shoe size per brand suits you best. Does your foot length in mm not appear on the relevant product's page? Then that particular shoe is not available in a size that suits your foot length.

You can easily measure your foot length using an A4 sheet of paper, placed on the floor against a wall. Stand with one foot on the piece of paper, with your heel against the wall. Draw a line above your big toe (or above the index toe if that is longer). Now mark your other foot on the paper in the same way. Measure both - the measurement of your longest foot is your foot length in mm's! Please note: some manufacturers have their own measuring system, and as a result what appears on the shoebox can deviate from what we have measured.

What shoe size you need can differ per brand. This is because certain brands wear larger or smaller. To help you get the perfect fit, we've also classified the shoes as narrow, average, or wide fit. Read all about it in our blog!
