Shimano presents its shoe collection 2020

The cycling shoe collection of Shimano is extremely comprehensive and brings for the coming year numerous novelties on the market such as the new e-bike shoe model ET5. But also road cyclists, mountain bikers or dirt bikers do not come up short, for all comes something new that fits well under the Christmas tree. A feast for the eyes among the new shoe models is the new TR9 triathlon shoe.

ET5 - Special e-bike shoe
Some SHIMANO models from the mountain bike range are provided with an "e-bike recommendation" and can therefore be worn both on the MTB and on the E-MTB, depending on the area of use. The ET5, on the other hand, was developed specifically for the e-bike and primarily appeals to trekking riders who travel in the city or overland and often use conventional sports or leisure shoes. However, the soles of these shoes deform and tire the foot and calf muscles. The ET5's stiffer midsole is therefore designed to reduce muscle fatigue, allowing you to pedal longer without getting tired. It reduces the loss of power by up to 50 percent compared to usual leisure shoes. The ET5 offers excellent grip on different types of pedals, so that the shoe does not slip off the pedal even in wet conditions. But also the walking comfort does not come too short, by supporting the natural rolling behavior of the foot. The incomparable block profile in the toe and heel area provides grip when ascending and descending off-road. The protected toe box and reflective details grant excellent protection and visibility. A good fit is ensured with the help of the mini power strap lacing system. The ET5 is available in four colorways as a men's (sizes: 38-48) and women's (sizes: 36-42) model and the suggested retail price is CHF 120.00.

Mountain Touring Shoe: MT7 | MT7GTX (water resistant model)
The Mountain Touring shoe MT7 or MT7GTX is a versatile cycling shoe, perfect for extended bike tours, commuter rides or alpine crossings. Both versions can be adjusted quickly and precisely using the Boa® adjustment wheel, ensuring a comfortable fit. The EVA midsole, flexible half-length stiffening plate and rubber outsole guarantee optimal power transfer to the pedal and excellent walking comfort. The MT7GTX is equipped with waterproof GoreTex® material, which keeps the feet dry even in wet conditions.

Both models are available in sizes 39-48 in the color black. The recommended retail price is CHF 180.00 (MT7) and CHF 220.00 (MT7GTX).

Top performance at an attractive price: Road Bike Shoe RC5 | MTB Shoe XC5
The new RC5 is in the category "Road Competition" and has many features of the S-PHYRE top model from SHIMANO, the RC9. This includes, on the one hand, the Surround structure of the upper shoe, which encloses the foot and provides a glove-like fit. On the other hand, the flat and lightweight, fiberglass-reinforced nylon midsole stabilizes the foot and maximizes power transfer to the pedal. Also, the integrated sole-upper shoe construction delivers an unparalleled fit and ensures stability and stiffness at extremely low weight. With the help of the Boa® Adjustment wheel is a precise and fast adjustment guaranteed. The RRP of CHF 190.00 and the great design make the RC5 an attractive competition shoe. The men's models are available in the colors Black and Blue in sizes 39-48, the ladies can look forward to a noble Navy and White in sizes 36-42.

The new racing shoe, XC5, adapted to cross-country and cyclocross, is reminiscent of the S-PHYRE top model, just like its colleague from the racing bike sector. The flat midsole stabilizes the foot and maximizes power transmission and pedaling efficiency. The material of the upper shoe fits perfectly and ensures a precise fit, high wearing comfort and excellent breathability. The closure system is also the proven Boa® Adjustment wheel. The recommended retail price is CHF 190.00. The women's model in Navy is available in sizes 36-42, while men can choose between Blue and Black in sizes 39-48.

Update from the Gravity section: GR7
The Michelin™ rubber outsole provides excellent grip on pedal and ground. The upper shoe made of robust synthetic material with mesh inserts provides protection and best breathability. The GR7 comes for the men in the colors Black and Yellow in sizes 39-48. The women's model in Grey in sizes 36-42.

The shoe is marked with the "E-BIKE RATED" icon and is therefore equally recommended for MTB and E-MTB rides. The recommended retail price is CHF 160.00.

AM9: top models for all mountain
The proven AM9 for enduro and downhill with SPD click system comes in a new look. Available in sizes 39-48 in the color blue with an MSRP of CHF 200.00. The protective lace cover for additional defense against stones and the molded toe cap provide excellent protection. As well as the asymmetrically raised ankle shank and the laterally raised sole.

TR9 triathlon shoe
The TR901 triathlon shoe builds on the success of its predecessor, the TR900, by delivering lightning-fast transition times and optimal power transfer through the lightweight and stiff carbon fiber composite sole. T1 Quickstrap, an extra wide opening and a large heel loop make it easy to get into the transition area. Convincing ventilation is also provided by water-resistant microfiber synthetic leather with strategic ventilation zones as well as 3D mesh material. The TR9 weighs 230 g (size 42) and is a real eye-catcher in the well-known SHIMANO blue. The RRP is CHF 280.00 and he is available in sizes 39-48.
