Comments about Shimano XC30 Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's:

I'm a 64 year old guy who loves the outdoors and just into my 2d year of very regular cycling and longer rides. Cycling is so much better for my joints and I love the freedom of the road or trail. I never thought I would ever spend $ on shoes for just cycling. These are affordable, fit well and add a whole new feeling to uphill and longer rides. My wife and many of my buddies kept bugging me to try them and the rest is good history. I love them.

Comments about Shimano XC30 Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's:

I bought this as my first shoe for clipless pedals that I recently added after I began commuting to work on my bike. They are quite comfortable, fit well, and generally make my ride a lot less effort. I've ridden about 350 miles with them so far and I haven't had an issue yet. Still as good as day one.

Comments about Shimano XC30 Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's:

I have been looking to replace my cycling shoes for a long time. These are the first shoes that were comfortable. I wear a women's 10 and an 11 for sports shoes. My last cycling shoes were 42 and they were comfortable. Sizing has changed so much that a women's 44 was too small. I had to go to a men's 45. Once I got past the number, these shoes are perfect. My husband is no longer embarrassed by the shoes I wear cycling.

Comments about Shimano XC30 Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's:

Bought this style because of heel, to help keep my right foot on the pedal, a problem due to my articial knee with limited flexion. This shoe helped greatly in this regard. I do not use the clip-in option as I lack control to remove my foot from the pedal in such circumstance. This shoe seems to meet my special needs very well.

Comments about Shimano XC30 Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's:

I purchased these from my local REI as my first clipless shoes. I wanted to get shoes compatible with Egg-Beater pedals that would also fit my feet.

I wear about a size 13. The size 48 I picked up are technically closer to a 12, but I found these quite a good fit. One of my feet is slightly longer than the other, and these worked fine through that. They also work fine with one of my arches being slightly higher than the other, and with my second toes being longer than my big toes. These sorts of shoe fit issues are make or break for me. I could wish for slightly longer Velcro closure straps so the upper edge covers the lower when I have them on my feet, but that's really more an aesthetic issue than a functional issue. This is why I gave these four and not five stars.

I found the cleats for the pedals easy to install, and though these are bike shoes, on days when I have a lot of biking errands I sometimes wear them all day without problem.

Great first clipless shoe

By cineris

Pros

Durable Sole
Good stiffness
Great fit

Cons

Not The Best Traction
Vinyl Tread

Best Uses

Climbing
Long-distance riding

Rough Descending

Comments about Shimano XC30 Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's:

These are the first clipless shoes I've ever used. I switched from years of platform pedal riding.

These are great beginner shoes. They come in UK sizes, which allows you to get a more precise fit. The hook and loop closures are great for getting in and out of the shoes quickly at the trailhead, and the offset of them allows a much more snug fit.

The only thing I'm not a fan of regarding these shoes is the tread material. The nylon tread doesn't offer the same grip as rubber, especially on damp rocks or logs, but it is common for less expensive shoes to have nylon instead of rubber.

Overall, I am very pleased with the shoes. They work great, and are very comfortable; but I wish I'd shelled out just a bit more money for the rubber soles on the M088's.

Cons

Uncomfortable

Best Uses

Everyday riding

Comments about Shimano XC30 Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's:

I'm hard on gear because of the type of terrain I ride. These shoes would be good for a rider new to clip-less pedals. They release easily when pedals are adjusted properly. Not as comfortable as I had hoped but they are an entry level shoe. I recommend for recreational/weekend rider or someone just starting into mountain biking.
