Shimano SH-XC300M MTB Cycling Spd Shoes

The SH-XC300, or XC3 for short, is a trail shoe from Shimano that combines a breathable synthetic leather upper with a not-too-rigid rubber sole and features a centrally located BOA® L6 screw fastener.
This not only allows for quick adjustment, but also provides a slimmer profile. The low overlap construction and seamlessly integrated midsole also contribute to an extremely comfortable fit.
It is made of fiberglass reinforced nylon and guarantees efficient power transfer, while Shimano Dynalast technology resists premature fatigue.
Finally, the XC3's outsole provides stable grip on the pedal and traction on the running segments.

• The integrated seamless midsole and upper structure offer high levels of fitness, stability and lightweight performance.
• The offset-centered blade-mounted BOA® L6 knob creates a sleeker profile with quick adjustments.
• The wrap-around upper structure prevents collision and provides a glove-like fit.
• The rubber XC racing pattern outsole promotes stable pedal grip and secure walking grip.
• The low overall height midsole stabilizes the foot and maximizes power transmission efficiency.
• Perforated synthetic leather composite upper provides superior fit and breathability.
• Lightweight fiberglass reinforced nylon sole for power transfer

It is stronger, stronger and more durable than natural leathers.

The most important components of the BOA system The BOA system

The BOA Fit System is a revolutionary and award-winning patented system designed to ensure a fast and precise fit of the shoe.
BOA is a quick lacing system where we tie shoes until they fit best by turning a knob. To loosen the rope, simply pull the button up.
To sum it up - BOA gives you the freedom to adapt with an accuracy that is otherwise unattainable!

It consists of three integral parts: the micro-adjust dial, the super-strong and lightweight laces, and the low-friction shoelaces. Each configuration is designed to optimize fit for precision, adaptability and control.

SHIMANO PEDALING DYNAMICS

cycling
riding / cycling SPD is a system that performs whether you are on or off the bike. With a wide variety of shoe and pedal styles, it makes pedaling more efficient, and the recessed lock makes walking more comfortable. With the SPD system, you can pedal with greater efficiency, balance and comfort.

 

Walking Comfort

SHIMANO invented SPD to meet the needs of a growing frontier lifestyle called MTB.
By eliminating toe clips and integrating the pedal and outsole into one unified powertrain, SHIMANO changed the industry; Not only does it increase power to the pedal, it also gives the driver control over increasingly adventurous driving styles.
There is no single style of MTB today and not a single SPD pedal to match. It's everywhere, from fast-paced XC races to steep, rocky, wet, rooted and muddy trails.
SHIMANO SPD pedals keep pace. As shoe pedal designs evolve to meet the needs of your personal riding style, the legacy of reliability, reliability and sheer durability "on the ground" continues.
Systems engineering. The driver is set. You pick.

OPTIMIZED SHOES
The toe spring section of a cycling shoe plays an important role in promoting efficient pedaling. It is too high and causes tension in the plantar, calf, and hamstring muscles.
You get an inefficient form of pedaling with very low and crooked legs.
Extensive research by Shimano's R&D experts has produced a superior shoe final design with an optimized toe spring section that provides a smoother, more energy efficient upward movement.
Developed based on feedback from professional riders, Shimano Dynalast helps reduce energy loss on long journeys and even lets you stay in the tank longer for that top sprint.
