Shimano XC502 W MTB Shoes
5/ 5
Jan 24 March, 2023

Fantastic shoes forden very acceptable price tag.

This shoe is nice and light and because the boa gives the same closing force over the entire length, you don't feel pressure points anywhere. The profile under heel is wide and feels very stable if you have to walk or scramble for a bit. I have done climbs longer than 70 minutes and did not get sore feet. The "W" version which stands for wide is actually perfect for a normal Dutch foot. I only have a 42 shoe size but at Shimano you can easily add 2 sizes.

Pros
  • Boa closure pulls distributed closing force perfectly.
  • Stable when walking due to wide heel
  • The W version is perfect for a slightly wider foot.
