Outside of flashy graphics and fluorescent color schemes, have you ever stopped to think about what a $400 pair of shoes have that a $200 pair doesn’t? Well, lucky for you, these are the kind of things that we’re obsessive about, and the answer might surprise you. When compared to the likes of Shimano’s SH-R170 Shoes, the halo-shoe category starts to lose its luster. Anatomic last design? Check. Stiff carbon outsole? Got it. Comfort and adjustability? Check and mate. Basically, when you run through your wishlist, you’ll notice that the SH-R170s checks off all of the boxes, only at a fraction of the price of what you were prepared to spend. Shimano had one key objective for its SH-R170 shoes: Create a race-day shoe at an everyday price. And not surprisingly, Shimano did not disappoint. The R170s feature a carbon composite outsole construction that strikes the ideal balance between rigidity and comfort. Now, we’re all led to believe that stiffer is better, and in some cycling applications, this is absolutely true. However, it’s crucial to remember that over the course of a century, that blanket-applied, overly rigid shoe will degrade your circulation. So, to avoid the eventual numbing, Shimano developed what it calls its Dynalast technology. This outsole system delivers power to the pedal, while still allowing a calculated level of flex. This is possible due to the sole’s variable stiffness and density that accommodates the movements of the arch. Furthering this power transfer are the R170’s securing straps. The shoes feature two asymmetric, hook-and-loop straps that allow you to control the shoes’ internal volume. Shimano has given these a broad, angular, and offset design that makes them simple to grab and adjust while in the saddle, should you need to make any on-the-fly adjustments. Controlling the overall tightness and security is a Shimano micro-adjust, ratcheting buckle. This system allows you make incremental adjustments with an elongated ratchet fixture….

Pearl Izumi – Ride Women’s W X-project 2.0 Cycling Shoe,Black/Black,39.5 EU/8.0 D US
Whether you prefer exploring your local trail networks on your mountain bike, or drag racing around a cyclocross track, there are going to be times when you have to walk. And if you’ve ever busted your backside trying to walk sections in glorified ballerina slippers, you know exactly how frustrating it is. The fine folks at Pearl Izumi have obviously been there, which is why the X Project 2. 0 Women’s Shoes have a whole heaping of features that make them functional when it comes time to beat feet. But these are no lame hiking boots — the carbon fiber soles mean you get race-ready power transfer when you get on the gas. You wouldn’t expect a typical carbon-soled shoe to be anything other than agonizing to walk in, but then again, the X Projects aren’t exactly average. True, they have a full length, unidirectional carbon fiber sole, which translates all of your watts into forward motion. But the rubber-capped, co-molded TPU lugs provide tons of grip on rocks and roots, saving you from the ice skate effect that most race shoes get when you start hoofing it. The EVA foam heel pad is borrowed from Pearl’s running line, enhancing hiking comfort. The remainder of the shoe is standard Pearl race shoe fare. The buckle closure keeps your heel locked down, and two hook-and-loop closures let you fine tune your fit. The toe box is seamless, which eliminates hot spots and chafing. Storm your local trails, or head out to the ‘cross races, these puppies will back you up every step, and pedal stroke, of the way. The Pearl Izumi X Project 2. 0 Women’s Shoes are available in whole and half sizes from 36 to 43 and in the colors Black/black and Pink/dazzling blue.

Shimano 2014 Men’s Off-Road Sport Cycling Shoes – SH-XC30 (Black – 48)
Year after year, Shimano provides a great bang-for-your-buck with its shoe lineup, and this year’s SH-XC30 Shoes are no exception. For under $100, you might even say that it’s one of the best examples of that trademark Shimano value. And given the XC30’s durability, refined fit, and surprising power transfer. Pair it with reliable SPD pedals, and you have a budget-saving package for taming singletrack and tarmac alike. Shimano offers one of the widest ranges of shoe lasts (or shapes) in the industry. So to clarify, the SH-XC30 uses the Volume Performance last, making it wider in the toe-box and across the ball of the foot. This gives it a fit that emphasizes comfort and stability, while still allowing room for custom orthotics. The three Velcro straps provide ample security for your foot, and their offset positioning prevents unnatural pinching and pressure. Another advantage of an all-Velcro system, as opposed to a system incorporating a ratcheting buckle, is the modest weight savings. As admitted gram counters, we’d feel remiss not to point that out. The XC30 Shoes have a fiberglass-reinforced, polyamide sole that’s stiff, but still flexes enough for comfortable walking when you need to hike over hellish terrain or to stop into the local coffee shop. The upper is constructed of tough, stretch-resistant synthetic leather, and mesh inserts throughout provide plenty of breathability for hot summer rides. The Shimano SH-XC30 Shoes are available in the color Black and in 17 whole sizes from 36. 0 to 52. 0.
