Shimano SH-XC702: High-Performance Mountain Bike Shoes Review

I have always worn Sidi MTB shoes, from Drakos to Dominator 10's. I had been looking for something different, so went with these after reading a few articles. Wow, they are impressive so far. I like having rubber between the heel & toe cleats. They are great for the rare hike-a-bike times. Unlike Sidi shoes, these do not loosen during rides. I usually put Solestar insoles in all my cycling shoes, but these are great as is - even better!
