No other bicycle component manufacturer has impacted the industry quite like Shimano. Although footwear isn’t technically a component, its connection to the bike’s powertrain can’t be understated. Shimano redefined the the shoe-to-pedal interface with the introduction of SPD back in 1990. Since then, delivering footwear with the same level of innovation, material selection and flawless functionality as every other Shimano product has remained a top priority. As more and more footwear competitors entered the market, it was our job to make sure both consumers and dealers saw Shimano footwear as one more essential component on the bicycle.
