Shimano’s SH-ME7 all-mountain shoe finds a unique balance of blending XC lightness with enduro durability in an value-oriented package. The synthetic upper of the ME7 buckles down for a comfortable, secure fit, without sacrificing much to more performance-focused dials closures. And the speed laces tuck nicely under the top cover. A Michelin rubber sole provides traction for footing in the berms as well as stiffness for the accelerations.
A reinforced heel stabilizer holds your feet in place to ensure you don’t lose any power on challenging ascents, while the carbon midsole keeps things responsive and lightweight. And made on Shimano’s Volume+ Last, the ME7 offers a bit more wiggle room in the toe box for comfort on bashy root and rock gardens.
