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.
STIFFNESS INDEX
Outsole stiffness is optimized for different riding uses.
More rigid options prioritize power output and less rigid options allow for greater walkability.
5-Hole Outsoles (IC1)
Cycling shoes are usually only compatible with either SPD / 2-hole or SPD-SL / 3-hole cleats and pedals. Shoes like the IC1, featuring 5 holes, allow riders to use either SPD-SL or SPD systems. The SM-SH40/SM-SH41 adaptor is required to install 2-bolt SPD cleats.
SHIMANO Indoor cycling shoes have breathable mesh uppers designed to keep your feet cool, dry, and fresh.
Our IC5 shoes are also treated with FUZE. FUZE is a safe, non-ionic application that adheres to textiles and surfaces to mechanically mitigate the growth of mold and fungus.
