February 3, 2020 - Shimano’s new E-Bike Rated Shoes offer the perfect balance between bike-specific shoes and casual sneakers. The new shoes are designed for flat pedals but feature a stiffer mid-sole that prevents flexing and provides greater power-transfer, improved stability and comfort that will last the entire ride.
The uppers feature lightweight, breathable materials with additional support added to the toe box for increased protection and to prevent against scuffing. The specially designed rubber soles provide traction and support for walking or trekking.
When you step off the pedals – whether you are heading into work or hiking up a mountain – these E-Bike specific footwear provide a natural walking feel; similar to a typical athletic shoe.
A full range of models are available specifically geared to specific e-bike experiences, whether that is e trekking, e-commuting, e-road or e-mtb trails. SPD compatible models are also available.
Combining the protection and performance features for cycling, with the comfort and versatility for walking these shoes are ready for your next e-bike adventure.
Like all Shimano shoes they’re durable and long-lasting and available for every terrain whether you’re hiking or biking. Check out the Shimano E-Bike Rated shoes below and their website here for more info.
