Shimano's gravel racing shoes borrow heavily from road and feature a new grippier cleat system it's calling "revolutionary"

Shimano S-Phyre RX910 gravel shoes.

The popularity of gravel racing has been responsible for a reimagining of the equipment used. Today there are plenty of examples of super light machines, components and accessories that owe much to their road racing brethren, where saving watts trumps all.

But still, gravel isn’t tarmac and the demands of racing on surfaces that are so susceptible to the weather means that enhanced aerodynamics alone won’t cut it. A case in point are the new gravel shoes from Shimano, the RX910 S-Phyre.
