XC302 Cycling Shoe - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These feel like a real upgrade without the high-end price tag. The BOA dial is easy to fine-tune, and the wraparound upper gives me a locked-in feel without pressure points. I get great power transfer on climbs, and the outsole grips well when I have to hop off and hike."

The Shimano SH-XC302 lets us bring race-inspired performance to our everyday trail and cross-country rides. By combining a wraparound upper with a re-positioned BOA dial and revised lacing structure, the shoe hugs our foot with a glove-like fit while keeping it stable during hard efforts. That secure platform translates directly into more efficient pedaling, whether we’re powering up climbs or pushing the pace on rolling terrain.

Comfort is just as important as performance, and the XC302 delivers on both fronts. The low stack midsole keeps us connected to the pedals while reducing bulk, while the one-piece upper eliminates hot spots for a snug, stable feel. Off the bike, the durable rubber outsole provides dependable traction, letting us navigate muddy trails, rocky transitions, or quick coffee stops without missing a step. With a balance of efficiency, durability, and comfort, this shoe makes every ride feel like an upgrade.
