ShimanoSH-MW501 Winter MTB Shoe(Return to Product Page)

Upon Customer support's recommendation, I ordered one size up to accommodate thicker socks. I could have stayed with 46, but the 47 for my size 12 feet and thick socks still works. So far the coldest I have used these has been in the mid 20s snd never felt cold. Even when out snd the temps in hhe mid 50s, I did not feel too warm or even sweated up the socks.

Overall, very comfortable and works well when conditions are safe enough to use clipless in the winter. When there is ice, I would rather stay with boots that do not clip to get off the pedals faster.

I always wanted to get a pair of winter cycling shoes. These sows are fantastic and I've been using them with my gravel and mountain bike. Order your normal size and the shoes will accommodate thick socks. My feet have been warm and dry even on wet and snowy days. Great value.

My shoelaces were damaged by the tightener after 5-6 trips. I need to go find replacement laces already, and am not at all sure how to thread them through tighteners and the little tab at the end.

I have a pair of XC 7 Shimano shoes that are snug and fit great in the same size 42. No need to size up for these as they are more roomy of a fit to accommodate thicker winter socks. Classic Shimano goodness!

So far I wore these shoes in 40 degree weather and 50 degree weather and they were super comfortable. My feet didn't get cold at all. The fit is great. I bought my normal size and actually had plenty of room for my medium Smart Wool Socks.

The shoes feel light for gravel rides.

Northern Vermont mountains get pretty cold but it's still fun outdoor riding on mtb and gravel. These shoes keep my feet warm and dry. Ridden in as low as -4F with thick wool socks and had no problem. Get a half size larger than normal for thicker sock rides.

I wanted something for gravel biking in cold fall weather (prior to December snows) and early spring before all the sand they put on our icy roads is gone. These shoes are warm, have a wide toe box that I need and comfortable.

I have only used it in a few rides but I feel it is a game changer for winter riding. They are comfortable and keep my feet warm and dry.

This shoe works great in the winter in the intermountain west. It is sized slightly bigger than my Sidi or Shimano shoes. That works great for thicker socks. I was comfortable with wool socks into the teens.

This might qualify as a cold weather shoe in Seattle or Portland, but below 30 degrees Fahrenheit it just does not deliver. I will qualify this with praise for wet and slush protection, which is excellent with the complex, but effective enclosure. However, for my commutes in the 20s and teens Fahrenheit this shoe is hardly better than a leather loafer. Even bulking up with a heavy sock and toe warmers, a recent commute at 12 degrees Fahrenheit left me limping into work with completely numb toes. And I must contradict reviewers who state this shoe has a wide toe box, a claim that can only come from people with very narrow feet. I ordered these shoes in the same size as I get Blundtstones, and they are a good 1/2cm narrower at least. This is a good shoe, but it cannot honestly be sold as winter apparel.

I use these under 40F, and have gone down to 20F. Roomy enough for heavier wool sox and toe warmers. The sinch laces easily adjusts fit from lighter to heavier sox. Velcro closures complete the fit system and seal off your feet.

I've had two sets of these boots. First pair was stolen at the end of last winter so I replaced again this fall. For Pacific Northwest riding, these boots will keep you covered pretty well through most of the winter. I get cold feet really easily, so these come out whenever the temps are below 50. Below 40 I go two pairs of socks. I really don't have any complaints about these boots.

True to size even with mid weight socks. very comfortable and warm for 40 degree 30 mile rides on a gravel bike

Absolutely love this pair of shoes. The fit was excellent, snapped in and out fantastically, and really kept my feet warm on the cold days. I dont mind my feet being a little warm so I wore them into the spring. I would recommend these to anyone.

While the shoe is well made, some of its warmth is likely due to its inability to BREATH ...

These boots are not as insulated as some winter boots, but I purchased a size or two larger to accommodate thicker socks. Nice for commuting due to the ease of putting on and taking off. Not totally waterproof but I have ridden through some pretty wet conditions and feet stayed relatively dry.

Bought these shoes primarily for winter commuting. I commute year round and the main challenge for me in the winter is warmth of extremities. These shoes have solved that on all but the extremest of cold days, and even on negative Fahrenheit days, paired with the right socks they can get me through my half hour commute (though probably not much further). Water resistance is also appreciated, especially on those days hovering right around freezing with precipitation. Probably the best bike-related purchase I've made this year.

These shoes are part of that thing.

Tried insulated socks, aluminum foil , shoe covers nothing worked. These shoes worked great for me temps in the low 30's for 2 hour rides.

whore these in 36 degree weather and on cold toes
