We create optimal last shapes by collecting and analyzing the measurement data from a large number of riders’ feet.
Comfort and pedaling performance are improved when riders’ feet fit securely in their shoes without needing to over-tighten the closure.
Our Surround Wrapping Upper surrounds the whole foot with a seamless piece of leather, which creates a better fit with fewer gaps between shoes and feet.
OPTIMIZED COMPOSITIONS
SHIMANO gravel shoes are made with rigid and rugged materials to support pedaling and walking on rough terrain. They feature stiff and lightweight midsoles for efficient gravel pedaling and durable TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) outsoles that deliver excellent traction on rough terrain.

STIFFNESS INDEX
Outsole stiffness is optimized for different riding uses.
More rigid options prioritize power output and less rigid options allow for greater walkability.
