ShimanoMen's SH-XC902 S-Phyre MTB Shoe(Return to Product Page)

These are spendier than the other models but once you take them for a ride you'll never look back.

I started ridding with only toe clips and have had many shoes, this shoe is painless and just the best feeling shoe after a long ride. This is the best shoe I have had for no foot pain when ridding long gravel surfaced paths. Value based on no pain.

Mostly for Gravel. Crazy light. I use leg length shims from "Fit Kit", not BikeFit. They work seemlessly even when walking. "Leg Length Shim - MTB Walkable - V1 - BULK" The BikeFit ones don't work. I have no idea why they are made. I use Shimano SPD MTB cleats and pedals and they simply won't clip in, so gotta use Fit Kit.

When it comes to your knee and feet , this shoe does it all a very good ride.. long rides on gravel was great with this shoe
