Shimano MTB ET500 Bike Shoes These are platform pedal shoes with classic lacing, which is reinforced at the sides. You feel comfortable with it not only on the bike, but also when walking. The block tread pattern and the cross-groove pattern of the sole provide the best grip on the pedal and the ground. So that nothing of your and the engine's power is lost, a semi-rigid Power Blade midsole was inserted. A toe box for additional protection and reflective elements round off the ET5 shoe.

Adaptive cross grooves on the outsole create better grip with different types of pedal boxes and pins. Block pattern designed to offer traction on descents and trails in the heel and toe provides excellent grip on variable terrain. Mini Power strap lacing system protects the foot and provides a comfortable fit. Toe protection and reflective detailing. *Shimano shoes run smaller than you might expect based on size.
