Shimano XC1 Womens MTB Shoes Shimano’s XC1 Women's MTB Shoes are compatible with 2-bolt SPD style cleats for a secure and efficient connection to clip-in pedals. The sole unit is stiff enough for good power transfer yet sufficiently flexible that walking isn’t a chore, and the deeply lugged tread pattern ensures a good grip when off the bike in muddy conditions. Three Velcro straps keep the shoes secure, with the wrap-around design of the upper increasing comfort and reducing the potential for rubbing and hotspots. Breathable synthetic leather material on the upper aids cooling and 360° reflective details add extra low light visibility.
