Reviews over the
Shimano XC7
5 / 5
Good looking, light and stiff
Very nice pair of shoes. I got the red pair which might not be to everyone's taste but IMHO they are a very good looking pair of shoes. More importantly though, they are light, stiff and comfortable. Sizing is as per other Shimano shoes I've had (I take a size 48 Shimano shoe vs UK size 11.5 to 12 in normal shoes). Only niggle is that the boa laces on the left shoe do work themselves slightly loose sometimes. However, it's easy to tighten them up again on the move so it isn't a big deal really.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Initial impressions-stiff, light and comfortable
I have only worn these for a couple of training rides up to three hours so far but first impressions are very good. Smart shoe, pretty stiff and comfortable. I plan to use for a 24 hour solo ride soon but feel confident so far. I’m a size 10 UK normally and sized up based on reviews but he 9.5 fits well and the 10.5 was too big

Great pair of xc race shoes
Very light and comfortable yet stiff as hell to get the power down
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Very very good, not excellent
Really nice shoe, generally a very good fit, really good stiff sole and look amazing. The only fault I have with them is that they are slightly too big at the back/heel that allows a slight bit of movement in this area. There is no way to make this tighter so I'll just have to see how much it rubs on the longer rides

Impressive
First ever shimano shoes after using Sidi and Specialized for years. Very impressed, comfortable, stiff and look great.
