Singletrack Members Can Win Shimano Shoes!

If you’re a Singletrack Member you can sign up to our monthly newsletter. And you should, because the newsletter that will be sent tomorrow will contain the chance to wear a pair of Shimano shoes, thanks to our pals at Madison/Freewheel.

Here’s what you could be winning…

Shimano RX8 Shoes

• Price: £219.99
• Size available: EU 42
• From: Freewheel

These disco aubergines are for the fleet of foot (or tyre), or maybe the gravelleurs. Super stiff, super light, and with a BOA closure, what more could a fast rider want? Maybe to win them? Well, yes. You might.

• Featherweight gravel shoes with a unique foil finish
• Super stiff and lightweight carbon composite sole
• Stripped-back, abrasion resistant TPU lugs and anti-slip pads for the best balance of weight reduction, pedalling performance and off-the-bike capability
• One-piece, synthetic leather, surround-wrapping upper provides perfect holding power and absolute all-day comfort
• BOA® IP1 dial with 1mm micro-adjustment and single velcro toe-strap to find your perfect fit
• Silvadur™ antimicrobial inner soles keep the shoes fresh, no matter the conditions
• System engineered with SPD pedals for maximum pedalling efficiency and stability
• Anatomically curved Shimano DYNALAST eliminates angles and conforms better to the natural contours of your foot
• Sole stiffness 10
• Weight: 265g (Size 42)

Shimano AM9 Shoes

• Price: £139.99
• Size available: EU 43
• From: Freewheel

These shiny blue shoes are for gravity and enduro riding, with plenty of built in protection for your feet for when the trail comes up to meet you.

• Flagship downhill/enduro SPD shoe with added protection and improved pedal contact when clipped in or out
• Original Shimano rubber compound and pattern maximizes grip and durability
• Armoured lace shield provides extra protection from debris
• Moulded toe cap for additional toe protection
• Asymmetrically raised padded ankle collar and sidewall sole for added protection
• Speed lacing system allows fast, secure adjustments

• Weight: 418g (size 42)

Shimano GR7 Shoes

• Price: £109.99
• Size available: EU 45
• From: Freewheel

For the flat pedal gravity and enduro riders we have these, with a neoprene ankle collar to keep the debris out of your shoes, and mesh sides for keeping your feet cool and quick drying.

• Versatile downhill/enduro shoe for flat pedals with unparalleled grip, durability and protection
• High-grip exclusive MICHELIN® rubber outsole
• Robust toe cap for additional toe protection
• Rubble cuff to keep the grit and grime out of your shoes
• Mesh and TPU upper absorbs less water and dries quickly
• Weight: 382g (size 42)

Shimano AM7 Shoes

• Price: £109.99
• Size available: EU 43
• From: Freewheel

Back to the clippy riders again, we have these, which have the neoprene collar again but also an extra velcro strap on top of the laces to keep things extra secure.

• Versatile downhill/enduro SPD shoe with exceptional pedalling performance
• Original Shimano rubber compound and pattern maximizes grip and durability
• Mesh and TPU upper absorbs less water and dries quickly
• Robust toe cap for additional toe protection
• Rubble cuff to keep the grit and grime out of your shoes
• Pedal channel for stable shoe to pedal platform when not clipped in
• Weight: 405g (size 42)

Shimano GR5 Shoes

• Price: £79.99
• Size available: EU 44
• From: Freewheel

With flat soles and skate shoe styling, you could likely get away with wearing these on and off the bike, though with a proper sticky sole and a stiffness rating of 6, they’re definitively proper bike shoes.

• Lower-profile, skate shoe silhouette, has shed over 100g compared to the previous GR5s
• Improved toe & ankle protection
• Updated mesh and synthetic leather upper to reduce weight and increase breathability
• Tried and tested sole mould design with stickier proprietary Shimano rubber compound
• Weight: 350g (size 42)
• Stiffness rating: 6

To be in with a chance of winning, you need to be signed up to our Members’ Newsletter. The link to the giveaway will be in the Newsletter which gets sent out on 15th March, so sign up below and don’t miss out! Prizes will be sent to UK addresses only, sorry.

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
