SPD
SPD delivers greater efficiency, increased stability, and added comfort both on and off the bike in the most challenging conditions, while recessed cleats make walking easy.

A new belt design for off-road driving. If the feet touch or the bike is the mountain pushed up, the tendons and bones at the top of the foot are exposed to an increased pressure. To alleviate this pressure and to reduce unpleasant feelings while walking, Shimano has moved the closure area from central belt to side of the shoe.

TORBAL
Human feet have the right balance of flexibility and resilience to conquer all sorts of terrain. So why don't off-road cycling shoes? SHIMANO understands that aggressive trail riding and racing demands the right mix of protection, stability, and surprisingly, flex when the going gets really tough.
TORBAL (Torsional Balance) improves balance and bike control by letting the heel section accommodate some lateral movement, while optimizing pedaling efficiency at the sole / cleat interface. Flexibility better-connects the rider and pedal with what the bicycle is doing underfoot, while maintaining comfort and flexibility through all ranges of rider motion.
