Shimano Road Bike Shoes - Cycling Shoes with Comfort and Performance

While at the beginning of the company's founding Shimano still focused on the free-wheel hub, a wide range of products developed over many decades. Shimano was the first company to develop a three-speed hub gear in 1961. Many further developments and new shift groups followed, until Shimano cycling shoes emerged as an independent production branch in 1988. Two years later, Shimano introduced clipless pedals with its own SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) system. For road cycling shoes Shimano developed SPD-SL, which are adapted to the specific requirements of road cycling. Shimano offers special and anatomically adapted road cycling shoes for men and women.

Not all Shimano road cycling shoes are alike. For each requirement and the various applications, there are different models and materials, shoe shape and performance character are adapted to the specific needs of the driver or the driver. To assess the character of Shimano cycling shoes, the outsole stiffness indicator was introduced. The value can range from 1 to 12, depending on whether the specific model focuses on comfort or competition. In the field of racing and performance, a Shimano road cycling shoe has a value of 12. For improved running characteristics and comfort, Shimano road cycling shoes with the outsole stiffness indicator 2 can also be found. To respond even better to the different needs, Shimano offers road cycling shoes additionally in a wider version. The name addition "WIDE" distinguishes these cycling shoes for wide feet.

Shimano road cycling shoes for men are specially tailored to men's feet. The anatomy of the sole adapts ideally to the athlete and contributes to an ideal power transmission. A low weight is in the foreground and contributes to the sporty character of the shoes. Comfort is writ large in Shimano road cycling shoes for men. Velcro closures and the BOA® system allow them to be optimally adapted to the foot. Other technologies such as Dynalast and special upper shoe designs bring even more comfort and performance when road cycling.

Shimano also has special road cycling shoes for women. In addition to a specific fit for women, the Shimano road cycling shoes convince with an elegant and chic style. Whether recreational rider or competitor, Shimano road cycling shoes for women support all female athletes in their goals.
