Our outsole patterns and materials are also tailored for each type of riding surface, style, and course. SHIMANO off-road shoes feature high-quality rubber outsoles that offer great traction on various surfaces, better grip to pedal via pins, and even higher durability. The performance of off-road shoes is also heavily influenced by the pattern and quality of the rubber outsole material.
The Shoe and Pedal That Changed The Way We Ride
SHIMANO changed the industry by introducing a cleat system that fits in the sole of the shoe.
A key advantage of a clip-in system was that riders could now walk safely and comfortably.
The intuitive simplicity of the system allows you to just step on the pedal to lock-in and simply twist the heel to unlock.
With this innovation, new ways of riding were born. Besides its success with off-road riding, it allowed riders to dismount the bike, take breaks, and walk around more freely.
