Product Information

Full details

The Shimano GE700 Cycling Shoes are designed for adult, unisex mountain bikers, particularly those engaged in downhill and enduro riding, offering enhanced bike control and competitive performance. Their key benefit lies in the superior traction and stability provided by the ULTREAD GE rubber and updated Pedal Channel, though some riders might find the stiffness rating of 6 less ideal for long, all-day comfort compared to more flexible options. Key features include a TORBAL 2.0 midsole for flexibility, a robust lacing and strap system for a secure fit, and impact-absorbing EVA foam.

FAQs

What type of pedals are these shoes designed for?

These shoes are designed for SPD (2-bolt) mountain bike pedal systems.

Are these shoes suitable for general commuting or road cycling?

While they offer good pedaling efficiency, their design is optimized for aggressive mountain biking with features like enhanced traction and protection. They are not ideal for road cycling due to their tread pattern and stiffness.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or Shimano. The UK size 11 is specified for this model. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the shoe's internal measurements if possible.

Can I use these shoes with flat pedals?

No, these are SPD clipless cycling shoes and require compatible 2-bolt cleats and pedals. They do not offer optimal grip or platform for flat pedals.

What is the stiffness rating and what does it mean?

The stiffness rating is 6 out of 12. This indicates a moderately stiff sole, providing good power transfer to the pedals while still allowing some flexibility for walking and natural foot movement on technical terrain.

How durable are the protective elements?

The shoes feature a reinforced toe cap, sidewall sole protection, and an asymmetrically raised padded ankle collar, designed to withstand impacts and abrasions common in downhill and enduro riding, offering good durability for challenging conditions.

What is the primary benefit of the TORBAL 2.0 midsole?

The TORBAL 2.0 midsole provides enhanced torsional flexibility in the outer edge of the shoe. This allows your heel to move more naturally, improving bike control during aggressive cornering and descents.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty clipping into pedals

Ensure cleats are clean and free of mud. Check that the cleat is mounted correctly and aligned with the pedal. Verify that the pedal channel on the shoe is clear of obstructions.

Foot discomfort or hot spots

Adjust the lacing and instep strap for a more even pressure distribution. Ensure the cleat position on the shoe is correct for your pedaling style. Consider aftermarket insoles if needed.

Lack of traction when hiking

Ensure the shoe's outsole tread is clear of mud and debris. The ULTREAD GE rubber is designed for grip, but heavy mud can reduce effectiveness. Clean the sole regularly.

Shoe materials feel stiff

The TORBAL 2.0 midsole and layered EVA foam are designed for stiffness and impact absorption. Wear the shoes for a few rides to allow them to break in. The inherent stiffness provides better power transfer for aggressive riding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional grip and traction for both pedaling and hiking.
  • Enhanced bike control due to the flexible TORBAL 2.0 midsole.
  • Stable SPD engagement and improved stability when unclipped.
  • Durable construction with reinforced protective elements.
  • Secure and adjustable fit for aggressive riding.

Cons

  • Stiffness rating of 6 may not be ideal for riders prioritizing maximum comfort on very long rides.
  • Primarily designed for aggressive riding, potentially less suited for casual or XC touring.
  • Laces and strap system, while secure, may require manual adjustment during rides.
  • Midfoot SPD placement might not suit all rider preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes are compatible with SPD (2-bolt) pedal systems. Ensure your pedals are installed correctly and that the cleat is properly mounted to the shoe. The cleat mounting area is optimized for midfoot placement, which may require adjusting your pedal height or cleat position on the pedal for optimal fit and performance. The lace and instep strap system should be tightened for a secure, snug fit without restricting circulation.

Compatibility:

  • Pedals: Compatible with all major SPD (2-bolt) mountain bike pedal systems.
  • Cleats: Requires compatible 2-bolt cleats (not included).
  • Riding Style: Best suited for Downhill, Enduro, and aggressive Trail riding.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the shoes after each ride using a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for tougher grime on the upper and sole. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
