Shimano Mountain Bike Shoes SH-XC300 Review

I wear size US 16/ EU 52. I searched for weeks for flat pedal MTB shoe and had no luck. I found these several times on different websites. I surrendered and bought clipless pedals and these shoes. I could not ask for a better shoe. I was very surprised that they were comfortable. I want all my shoes to have BOA for laces. I am sure that it won’t look right on AJ1’s, but for the comfortable I would try them. JK I am still in search for a decent flat pedal shoe. I know DC and Vans have some that would work, but I would like to get something similar to these SH-XC-300s.
