Shimano SH-GF400 Gravity Flat MTB Shoes

Shimano SH-GF400 - stylish and comfortable MTB shoes for flat pedals

The SH-GF400, GF4 for short, are comfortable and casual Shimano shoes for gravity use with platform pedals. Equipped with a slightly softer Ultread GF outsole with water drainage channels, these shoes offer secure grip and thus support the control of the bike. The skater-style lacing is easily adjustable and ensures a comfortable fit, as do the breathable upper and the wide tongue. In general, the shoes are generously dimensioned in the toe and heel area, but close-fitting at the ball of the foot, which improves power transmission. A multi-layer foam insole cushions shocks. For even more protection, the upper is raised on the inside of the ankle and the sole is raised on the side. Together with the cascaded construction of the upper and sole, this leads to a better performance and longer durability.

Technology:

Ultread GF
Outsoles with Ultread GF rubber compound and tread are optimised for gravity use with platform pedals. This compound is soft and durable and is slow to return to its original shape after deformation. Combined with the grippy hexagonal block pattern, it provides improved traction and constant contact with the pedal, even on rough surfaces. Shoes with Ultread GF therefore offer excellent pedal grip and support control over the bike.

Size Guide:

These Shimano shoes run smaller than you might expect from their size. It is best to order one size larger than usual.
