Shimano XC3 MTB Shoes Shimano’s XC3 MTB Shoes are perfect for casual off-road riding, gravel exploring or even commuting. 2-bolt SPD style cleat compatibility makes them secure and efficient when pedalling whilst the deep tread and recessed cleat mount makes walking simple too. BOA’s single L6 dial pulls the wrap-around tongue snug to spread any pressure across the top of the foot and the synthetic leather composite upper is perforated for improved breathability. Scuff guards across the heel and toe protect against damage. The seamless midsole construction lets the shoe sit closer to the pedal axle for better stability and power transfer, with the stiff glass-fibre reinforced nylon sole also helping ensure that no watts are lost.
