The Shimano GR5 Mountain Bike Shoe takes your flat-pedal game to any terrain. With zero cleat attachment real estate on the bottom of the proprietary rubber sole, you'll have an optimum grip on flat pedals and easy walkability for hanging out with the crew post-ride. The sticky rubber outsole provides a tread pattern that works well with pins on the flat pedals for confident stability, as well as keeping you and your bike upright when you've got to put a foot down in the loose turns. Inside, the optimized shank plate provides plenty of rigidity for efficient power transfer between you and the pedal. An EVA midsole offers cushion to keep your foot comfortable on and off the bike, while the upper part of the shoe allows plenty of airflow to keep your foot from overheating. The easy lace-up style means you'll also have uniform pressure, and can wear tight or loose.
