Shimano has added to its Indoor Cycling (IC) shoe range with two new unisex models, the IC2 and IC1, that sit alongside the original IC5 and IC3. There’s compatibility with road (SPD-SL) and off-road (SPD) pedals, or both.
The new IC2 and IC1 are entry-level indoor cycling shoes that are designed to be very well vented to deal with indoor training heat. They feature Shimano’s Dynalast fitting that's designed to minimise foot/ankle strain, a wrap-around Velcro strap, as well as a full length rubber sole that’s grippy for making walking easier, especially for going to a spin class at the gym.
“All models in the IC range aim to balance superior breathability and stiffness for indoor conditions,” Shimano says.
The sock-like uppers with light mesh panels are designed to offer more ventilation and comfort than other cycling shoes.
“Cycling-specific outsoles give a strong pedal platform for better power transfer and reduced fatigue, especially on the Achilles tendon,” Shimano promises.
The strap across the mid part of the foot provides a firm hold for optimal power transfer, Shimano says.
There’s adaptable arch support for a customised fit.
For dealing with sweat build-up, Shimano has made the IC range from a quick-drying material and it’s also easy to wash.
The IC2 is compatible with SPD (off-road) pedals, while the IC1 works with both SPD two-hole systems and SPD-SL three-hole systems.
The IC1 weighs in at a claimed weight of 250g, while the IC2 is 265g.
Available now in men’s EU 42-48 and women’s EU 36-41.
