SH-XC5 Mountain Bike Shoe

Similarly, the SH-XC5 Mountain Bike Shoe also keeps a low profile so it can keep things sleek and aerodynamic while you soar to the front of the pack, and stiff enough to handle serious pedal mashing.

I read the earlier review about difficulty getting them on but decided to order anyway because I liked the color and style - thought it would be worth the try. When I first put them on I thought, oh, the previous reviewer was correct these are a pain to put on. Before actually returning them though, I tried again. The boa just needed a little coaxing - then there was PLENTY of give! Now I see these are super easy to put on and very comfortable. My typical ride is 100 miles on gravel and these worked great - very comfortable even on the first time out. Also, I like the attached tongue style. I believe it may keep my feet a little dryer in event of a downpour. There is so much room in the toe box I can fully spread out and wiggle all my toes yet my heel is snug and secure. I ordered my usual size 41. Nice grippy sole for walking too. Highly recommend!

I really like these shoes, once they're on my feet. However, getting them on is nearly impossible. The crossover-style tongue is super tight and the BOA system leaves no give to open it up. No way I can deal with it every ride. Sent them back.
