Our choice for middle class MTB shoes
The Shimano XC502 is a great mountain bike shoe. With its stiff sole (stiffness index 7/12) the shoe leans towards performance cycling. It is well ventilated and has a BOA L6 dial system to ensure an accurate fit. The spikes can be swapped to suit different riding styles. This is the shoe for those who take going fast seriously and know what they want. The Shimano XC502 has been designed to support you in all your MTB adventures.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

  • Better fit thanks to Shimano's Surround Wrapping.
  • Easy to adjust fit thanks to their BOA L6 twist closure.
  • Fibreglass-reinforced mid-sole, which allows for better power transfer.
  • Durable and competition-worthy grip thanks to ULTREAD outer sole.
  • Mesh provides more ventilation, but you will need a shoe cover in cold weather.

Good shoe but size chart is not correct for my wide feet.

- Sean 21 May 2025

These are my first cycling shoes and would be very happy if they fit, especially since they are rather a (relatively) cheap shoe. I ordered the wide version of these shoes according to the size chart. I was glad there was a size chart because I am aware that I have wide feet and the right shoes are very important. As I hit the inside with my toes when trying them on, I immediately sent them back and ordered a size larger. I have been cycling with these shoes for a while now and every time I have sagging toes after 20-30 minutes until I take them off. After a bikefit and insoles still the case because this shoe is not that wide at all according to my fitter who feared for me that I had made a bad purchase if the insoles did not help. Consequently, I may order shoes from another brand and this is 100 euros in the bin because I trusted the size chart. So people with wide feet are better off looking at another brand. Definitely take advantage of the guaranteed fit if you notice the same thing, I am too late. The shoe itself is good quality and the buckle works perfectly, even if it sometimes feels fragile when opening the wheel. The sole is sturdy and since buying insoles here on mantle (recommended), I can apply force to the shoe with my full foot without any flex of the sole. I step down the spiral staircase of our flat almost daily with my bike in hand on these shoes, not a single slip on the natural stone in our stairwell yet, even though stepping with a hard sole is a bit clunky. The shoe is definitely a summer shoe (as described in the product), I don't have cold feet easily but last week after a short ride in 17degrees, my feet were deathly pale when I got home. I had not fastened 1 of my cleats hard enough, consequently it was able to move freely and I was stuck in my pedal for a while. Something that gives some risk and 'panic' when you are still getting used to click shoes. Not a fault of the shoe but a tip for other beginners! In short, a good clean for a nice price as long as you don't have wide feet.

Pros & Cons

good closure system
good traction
good ventilation
cold feet from 18c onwards
insole is worth nothing (like most)
not wide

Top shoe.

- Pieter 22 April 2025

Fine shoe. Followed the size chart via Mantel and the size ordered was exactly right. I had previously ordered an xc300 wide version. I ordered this shoe in the regular version. I am very happy with the choice to go for the xc502 after all. The fit is better for me (fits more closely around the foot). Because the BOA is placed more on top of the shoe and you have a separate velcro strap at the front, this shoe pinches much less.

Pros & Cons

Fine fit
Good fit for slightly wider feet
Nice model.
Front Velcro can't be very tight.

Why didn't I buy this earlier?

- Stef 9 November 2024

After a year on flats on the MTB, I decided to look into click pedals. Bought these shoes together with Shimano 520 pedals. What a pleasure! So much more confident on the bike and especially when climbing, this feels much nicer. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. The shoes fit well, despite my somewhat wide feet. I had to find out at which distance the plates were positioned correctly. After a bit of fine-tuning, I have now found the ideal spot for this. Clicking them on and off is very easy.

Pros & Cons

BOA system works well
Fine seat
Plates easy to fit
Plates still touch the ground

I bought cycling shoes for my son who was not there. The day after, it was course. At the shop, they reported that if they didn't like it, they could just return it. TOP
