TheShimano XC502 brings high-performance cross-country racing technology to a wider range of off-road riders who want serious capability without the premium price tag. These lightweight, rigid shoes are built for racing but designed for every XC and gravel rider who wants maximum power transfer and trail versatility.

The feather-light fiberglass midsole integrates smoothly with the upper for stable pedaling and efficient power transfer, while the Boa L6 dial makes fit adjustments quick and easy when you’re out on the trail. Whether you’re racing or just riding hard, these shoes deliver the performance you need.

Constructed with high-density synthetic leather and breathable TPU mesh, the full surround upper wraps your foot for stable, comfortable rides. Shimano’s DYNALAST technology in the toe-spring creates a smoother, more efficient upstroke that reduces energy loss, leaving you with more power for those challenging climbs.

The ULTREAD rubber outsole is engineered specifically for XC and gravel riding, shedding mud while providing excellent grip in all conditions. Reinforced spike mounts let you add 18mm toe spikes for technical terrain, while the recessed cleat bracket works perfectly with SPD pedals for optimal pedaling efficiency and easy walking.
