Race-Ready Cross Boss & XC Power Platform
Shimano’s SH-XC702 MTB shoe is a race-ready CX or XC race shoe that’s geared up with all of the performance features you could want or need. The carbon-reinforced midsole places the XC702 near the top of Shimano’s stiffness hierarchy. This lands the XC702 firmly into race-ready territory, with highly efficient power transfer and just a hint of forgiveness for increased utility when running over barriers or climbing steep embankments.
Though it’s not as stiff as the S-Phyre, the XC702 does feature a more robust complement of lugs, so it’s better suited for navigating sloppy run-ups or trails on foot. The rubberized outsole also includes toe spike mounts for muddy days when not even the lugs are enough, and the compound comes from the experts at Michelin.
The upper is secured with a BOA IP1 dial and a single hook-and-loop strap over the forefoot, letting you quickly dial fit across the midfoot while leaving ample room for metatarsal expansion while mashing out of corners or jockeying for position during a bunch start.
Features:
- Super rigid, lightweight off-road racing shoes for maximum performance
- Perforated synthetic upper for a superior fit and cooling
- Rigid, lightweight carbon fiber reinforced midsole doesn’t waste watts
- BOA L6 dials allow for quick micro-adjustments
- Powerzone wire guide with front strap for a secure hold
- Michelin high-traction, mud-shedding tread pattern outsole
- 2-bolt mountain cleat compatibility
- Intended use: cyclocross, cross-country, trail riding
- Available in Black or Red colorways
- Sizes: 42-48

These Shimano shoes are fantastic for mountain biking. They are lightweight, durable, and provide excellent grip. I noticed a significant improvement in my pedaling efficiency.
Emily Carter –
I’ve been using the SH-XC702 for a few months now, and they’ve held up really well. The fit is perfect, and they’re very comfortable even on long rides. Highly recommend!
Michael Brown –
Great shoes for serious mountain bikers. The sole is stiff, which helps with power transfer, and the cleat adjustment system is easy to use. Only downside is the high price.
Sarah Johnson –
These shoes are durable and provide great support. However, they run a bit narrow, so if you have wide feet, you might want to try a different model.
Chris Evans –

Good shoes overall, but they took a while to break in. Once they did, they’ve been great for both short and long rides.

Solid shoes for MTB enthusiasts. They’re lightweight but still offer plenty of protection. The ratchet closure system is a nice touch for a secure fit.
