With the cross-country race season about to start, we thought it would be a good opportunity to put Shimano’s XC7 shoes to the test. They’re slightly more attainable than the stratospherically priced S-Phyre XC9s. Thankfully, the XC7s have benefited from a lot of trickle-down tech from the XC9s, so I was looking for some seriously good performance from (hopefully) one of the best clipless mountain bike shoes.
