What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This is the shoe I'd reach for on a loaded tour or a long gravel day where I know I'll be walking as much as riding. The lugged sole actually grips on wet rock and mud, but it looks casual enough that I don't feel uncomfortable at a cafe in full race kit."Why We Like ItThe fiberglass-reinforced nylon midsole transfers power efficiently through the pedal stroke without sacrificing the walkability that touring and off-road riding demand. Shimano's ULTREAD rubber outsole uses a proprietary compound and lug pattern built for traction on dirt, rock, and mud. The mesh and TPU composite upper incorporates 22% recycled content, keeping the shoe breathable and durable across long days in varied conditions.
