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.

VOLUME TOUR LAST for touring

Volume Tour Last is tailored for more relaxed riding and touring. It supports comfortable pedaling with a wider bottom from the toes to the heels and an upper that is not overly snug.
 

This versatile last design ensures a seamless transition between cycling and walking and provides long-lasting comfort on and off the pedals.​

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.​

Stable Pedaling & Walking

Lightweight ULTREAD EX rubber outsole and pattern optimized for challenging adventures on and off the bike.

SCENE-TARGETTED OUTSOLES

Outsole materials and grip patterns specially designed for each riding style.

E-BIKE TOURING SHOES

SHIMANO E-BIKE Touring shoes (ET) are designed to deliver better pedaling performance, bike control, and comfort with the flat pedals traditionally found on E-bikes. Off the bike, they grip well on any surface and make walking feel natural.

1. POWER TRANSFER BLADE

Our ET shoes’ semi-rigid mid-sole enhances efficiency and comfort for long trips on and off the bike.

A carefully balanced power transfer blade helps riders get the most out of each pedal stroke by reducing power loss by up to ½ vs. typical non-cycling shoes and decreases foot and leg fatigue on longer rides.

These significant energy savings get you where you’re going with less effort and more comfort.

2. ADAPTIVE CONTROL

They feature high-quality rubber outsoles with a special sole block pattern and adaptive cross-groves that provide amazing grip on various types of flat pedal designs and ground surfaces. E-BIKE Touring Shoes provide longer riding comfort, better bike control and a more natural stride.

3. TRACTION CONTROL

E-BIKE Touring Shoes are also designed with traction control patterns on the toe and heel to provide better grip on variable terrain. A smooth curved outsole supports a more natural heel strike and foot roll on your time off the bike.

STIFFNESS INDEX

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

MIDSOLE

Walk more comfortably and securely thanks to an original midsole design and unique cleat positioning.
