LAST

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.

SHIMANO DYNALAST for racing

Its optimal toe-spring positioning is vital for a smooth and energy-efficient upstroke. Positioning too high increases muscle tension, while positioning too low results in an inefficient pedaling form.
 

SHIMANO DYNALAST helps reduce energy loss on long rides, letting you keep more in the tank for that final sprint to the line.

WOMEN’S SPECIFIC LAST

Our Women’s Specific lasts are tuned to ensure a better fit and performance for the smaller volume and narrower proportions of female cyclists’ feet.
 

We offer women’s specific designs for all our lasts to provide the optimal balance of support and comfort for a wide range of female riders.​

UPPER

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. 

MIDSOLE

SEAMLESS MIDSOLE STRUCTURE

By wrapping the upper within the bottom of the sole, we create a seamless structure that enhances the

fit and pedaling stability for riders of all levels.

*1 : Conventional Stracture
*2 : Seamless Midsole Structure

*3 : Lasting board

*4 : Insole

*5 : Lower stack height

“LOWER STACK HEIGHT, HIGHER EFFICIENCY AND STABILITY”

A lower stack height in cycling shoes reduces the distance between your foot and the pedal, promoting better power transfer, stability, and overall efficiency in each pedal stroke.

*1 : ADJUSTTIGHTNESS
*2 : MIDSOLE LIFTS UP

*3 : FOOT MAINTAINS CLOSECONTACT WITH MIDSOLE

All SHIMANO XC shoes have a lower stack height, providing better bike control and efficient pedaling to riders of all levels.

OUTSOLE

The pattern and quality of the materials used on an off-road outsole significantly impact its performance. SHIMANO XC shoes feature tuned rubber compounds and functional lug patterns to optimize grip for rocky paths, muddy trails, and steep inclines.

Durable & Lightweight

Lightweight ULTREAD XC rubber outsole delivers competition-grade grip and riding performance that last.
Our MTB cross-country and cyclocross racing formulated rubber is optimally applied with lightweight outsole patterns to support performance in dry and wet conditions.

STIFFNESS INDEX

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

INSOLE

STANDARD CUP INSOLE

Insoles are a vital interface between the rider’s foot and the shoe. SHIMANO road shoes feature targeted insole designs with optimal materials and features for each level of riding.

INSOLE for S-PHYRE

The S-PHYRE RC/XC9 racing insole has a dual-density cup sole with forefoot and heel ventilation to help keep feet cool and dry on intense rides. It comes with two arch pad inserts so riders can adjust the fit and support level of the shoes. The anti-slip surface holds feet in place to support pedaling efficiency.
 

CUP INSOLE

Our RC/XC7, 5 and 3 shoes have a 3D insole with a durable, high-density EVA heel cup that comfortably cradles your heel and keeps it reliably in place while pedaling.
 

FLAT INSOLE

RC/XC1 has a standard insole that provides essential comfort and support suitable for recreational or entry-level riders.
