ShimanoMen's SH-XC502 MTB Shoe(Return to Product Page)

Got a great deal on these here at BTD. Love the blue color and they are super comfortable. I typically wear a 44.5 in Shimano but I got the 45 and they fit great. Had trouble trying to remove the toe spikes screws that came with them. Either it was the loctite or how the part inside the shoe is held, but I struggled to remove one of the screws (2 came out ok) and one simply would not come out. It just spun around. I have other shoes with toe spikes so I'll survice

They are very well made shoes - they look great. The sizing is really strange. I have 5 pairs of Sidi moutain shoes running in size 44, 44 1/2, and 45. The size 45 Sidis are large enough to allow me to wear really heavy wool socks in the winter. The Shimano shoes I bought in a size 45 are really, really tight - barely could get them on wearing the lightest of cycling socks. I've had Shimano shoes in the past that were a size 44 & no problems with the fit.

Fits well, lite, nice rubber sole. Works well MTB racing and gravel.

Great shoe! Looks, feel, quality!

Seems a 1/2 size larger than other shoes.
