Why We Like The XC502 Limited Edition Cycling Shoe
Be it gravel, cyclocross, or cross-country events we have our competition looking out for us while we flash the Shimano XC502 Limited Edition Cycling Shoe. These fancy shoes are what get us to the podium and into bigger and better races throughout the season.

Great shoe (after I found my fit)
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
It took three pairs of these shoes to finally find the right fit. Based on my experience, I recommend sizing-up, especially if you are in-between the available sizes. I have had great luck with other brands, especially Giro, but I wanted to try something new. This is my first pair of shoes with a BOA system and I'm pleased with the results. The build quality, comfort and style are spot-on as well. The price was right as well. I have about 300 miles on them at this point, 10k+ feet of climb... so far, so good. Long-winded, additional details: As for fit, I generally wear a 43.5 in a regular width for most cycling applications. Upon occasion 43.5 can be ever-so-slightly too big, so I tend to tighten the buckles/straps/laces close to the maximum or simply size down to a 43. The Shimano XC502 shoes barely slipped on to my foot in a 43. Given the impossibly snug fit of the 43, I foolishly ordered the 44 high volume shoe. The HV space was way too loose. Ultimately, sizing-up to the 44 worked. The best aspect of this purchase/return/purchase/return/purchase saga was working with Competitive Cyclist and their "gearheads." They made the entire process as easy as possible and I appreciate it.
