Whether you’re looking for a race shoe or something a little more well-rounded, Shimano’s ME7 and ME5 have got you covered.
The ME7 is Shimano’s elite racing shoe so, as you can expect, it comes backed by substantial feedback and studies gathered from athletes in 2019’s Enduro World Series rounds. The ME5 adopts and translates that same racing technology into a shoe that’s at home under the foot of competitive and demanding riders looking for a different mix of pedalling stiffness, grip and comfort.
