Versatile touring shoe The EX500 is a kind of "chameleon" among the cycling shoes in Shimano's portfolio. This is because you can use the shoe with the SPD clipless pedal system to achieve a smoother pedalling action and improved power transmission. The SPD cleat can be placed in the midfoot area - with a little leeway - for comfortable pedalling. The strongly profiled sole offers you very good traction when walking, with the side cleats providing some protection for the metal cleat. The light and airy, naturally breathable upper material ensures a high level of comfort and good moisture management. Good cushioning, fast, secure fastening The EVA midsole cushions your steps and kicks so that any progress you make is comfortable and convenient. And you can quickly adjust the fit of the shoes to your needs with the speed lacing, while a Velcro strap ensures that everything stays in place. The use of recycled material also takes sustainability into account.
