Trail-tuned for grip, comfort, and control.

From steep climbs to wild descents, the Shimano GE500W (GE5W) is built for aggressive trail riding and enduro-style terrain. Designed specifically for women, this SPD-compatible shoe strikes a perfect balance between comfort, pedal efficiency, and off-bike traction—so you can push your limits with confidence, no matter what the trail throws at you.

The TORBAL 2.0 midsole provides controlled torsional flex, enhancing bike handling and rider fluidity without sacrificing pedaling efficiency. Shimano’s ULTREAD GE outsole grips hard during slippery hike-a-bike sections, while the extended SPD landing strip ensures smooth pedal entry—even when you’re not clipped in.
