Description
The Shimano SH-GR701 provides everything you need from a high level, flat pedal shoe. Excellent grip from the Michelin rubber outsole, extra impact protection from its robust toe cap and padded ankle collar, and importantly, comfortable walking.
Who's It For: This shoe is designed for hard-hitting days on the pedals and is perfect for Aggressive Trail, Enduro or DH riding.
Pedal Interface: Flat pedals only.
Closure: Nothing too fancy here, they feature a traditional lace-up style closure.
Upper Materials: The upper is made from a combination of mesh and durable TPU. This stops the shoe from absorbing a lot of water and allows it to dry quickly (no more stinky bags). They also feature an asymmetrically raised padded ankle collar and sidewall sole for added protection.
Sole Materials: The sole is made with a high-grip Michelin rubber bottom, with EVA and a shank plate for extra protection.
Sole Type: The sole is divided into three parts. It features an extremely grippy middle section for your pedals and added tread for walking on the heel and toe sections.
Weight: 382gm for a size 42.
Last/Width type: Features Shimano's Volume Tour last which has extra volume at the ball of the foot for added comfort and support on and off the bike.

Pros: They are grippy and offer a lot of protection against impacts, which is what you need in a shoe for gravity riding.
Cons: Probably a bit bulky for XC or light trail style riding.

Great Flat pedal shoes. Super grippy when used on pedals with decent pins.
Wears quite well - this is my 3rd pair they last about 9 months riding 2 to 3 times a week every week.
Super fast delivery from MTB Direct.

I never really understood how dedicated MTB shoes could make that much of a difference, but after getting my Shimano GR701s and combining them with a new set of crank brothers stamp 1 pedals I finally get it.
The Michelin sole has the perfect tread pattern to grip like glue so there is absolutely no slip even in mud and creek crossings.
The uppers are firm, offering great impact protection. Mud falls straight off, leaving them dry and looking good.
Whilst I initially felt my heel slip when walking, this is not an issue at all when riding, and the collar on the rear keeps most dirt and mud out. The firm sole gives great support.
Really glad I made this purchase with the crank brothers flat pedal

Great shoes, fit my wide feet well, plenty of grip on the pedals and no dirt in them at the end of the ride. What more do you want?

I havent ridden with them yet so my review is just in sizing. I have found Shimanos sizing for the shoes seems a bit off. Their cm sizing is off compared to US EU. For this reason I went for the CM sizing as 29cm is 29cm. I have found doing this the shoe is quiet long and I think that using the EU sizing as I usually do would have been a better fit. The toe cap is quiet tall for how thin the shoe is too. They are a very different style of shoe to the 510s. looking forward to riding with them and see how they go.
