Description

The Shimano XC701 SPD Shoes are built XC racing and maximum pedalling performance. They feature an ultra-rigid, lightweight carbon midsole to ensure every ounce of power you put out makes it directly into your drivetrain.

Who's it For: These shoes are for riders that love a good pedal fest and want a shoe that is comfortable, adjustable, and provides exceptional power output.

Pedal Interface: These are clip-in shoes that will work with any MTB clip-in pedals.

Closure: Dual independent Boa L6 dials allow for quick, micro-tension adjustments and easy release when you need to kick them off and jump in an ice bath at the end of the day.

Upper Materials: Supple high-density synthetic leather with perforation and lightweight mesh/TPU combination that bring superior fit and comfort.

Sole Type: These are an XC style shoe so the tread is fairly minimal but it does have a reinforced spike mount for use in extreme conditions. Works with 18 mm spikes. The low stack height midsole helps to stabilise the foot, maximising power transfer and efficiency.

Weight: Approx 326g for a size 42

Last/Width type: The XC701 uses Shimano's Dynalast which is their closest fitting last that prioritises pedalling performance over walking comfort. It is also available in E-width sizes which use a wider last that offers 5% more volume in the tow box and 6% more volume across the ball of the foot.

    Xc702 wide is better!

    Suit my feet much better than the std width. Seems these new shimano shoes are narrower than previous fits.

    Superb build quality. But, Chafing and pressure points

    Chafed my heel to blistering. Possible that its just break-in shenanigans + this being my first experience with clipless. Left shoe has a thicker seam on the inner tongue where the right shoe instead tapers off nicely. This creates a rather uncomfortable pressure point. Hoping itll just go away with break in
