Why We Like The ME502 Cycling Shoe
Shimano checks all the boxes for the demanding trail rider with the ME502 Cycling Shoe. The low-profile and single Boa L6 dial keep the overall details on the ME502 to a minimum, which comes in clutch when you need to make fast, no-look adjustments on the slopes. The midsole conforms to the trial chatter with the Torbal design that allows the shoe some freedom to bend around the pedal so that your body doesn't have to do as much work to balance and make minor steering adjustments.
The ME502 skips the expensive carbon layup in favor of Shimano's proprietary rubber compound that features an enhanced grip for emergency kick-stand maneuvers and huffing on foot back to the top. It achieves a stiffness rating of six out of 12 on Shimano's scale for a stable platform when you need to transfer watts, but not so much that you feel inclined to bring back up shoes when you're headed for noms after the ride.

Best MTB Shoes Ever

These mountain bike shoes are the best. They are something like slipping on your favorite slippers while drinking a whiskey. Just perfect. Took them for a ride today. They are awesome. I swear they make me faster. Took me a little while to understand the release on BOA dial but once I figured out that you can pull it up and everything releases, life got good again. These MTB shoes are the best. True to size and so supple on your feet. Totally happy with the purchase. Happy Trails!

These are the most comfortable shoes that I've ever had for mountain biking. They seem very sturdy built. They have good traction in the event you have to scout an obstacle as well! I'd buy them again

Great fit and solid feel. The Boa lacing system makes it easy to tighten or loosen as needed. I normally wear wide shoes but these fit just fine. I only ride for about an hour or so at a time so I can't attest to long term comfort but so far they've been great.
