Versatile, comfortable performance

The cross country-oriented SH-XC502 is Shimano’s high-performance shoe for fast rides off pavement, no matter where they take you. The glass fiber-reinforced midsole provides excellent stiffness for pedaling efficiency, while the lightweight Shimano Ultread XC rubber tread offers superior grip without excessive bulk and weight to slow you down. The ventilated synthetic leather upper features a surround wrapping structure and BOA® L6 dial. This lightweight design wraps around the foot to provide even tension and support, eliminating hotspots and further improving pedaling efficiency. The XC502’s are designed for seamless compatibility with Shimano XT and XTR pedals and are also compatible with toe spikes for cyclocross use.
