The popular Shimano MP66 crops up in places it was never designed to be used, like XC races and Alpine mountain passes. The MP66 DX model was primarily designed as a BMX shoe and is available in both clipless and non-clipless versions.
Riders quickly fell in love with the hard-wearing trainer style outsole and the stiff but walkable midsole and, thanks to the large wrapover lace cover and graze-saving ankle guard, the synthetic leather upper is water resistant enough to make the MP66 a great autumn/winter shoe.
You’ll either love or loathe the ‘football boot meets winklepicker’ look of the shoe, but we recommend it highly for its performance on almost any kind of trail – which is why you’ll find them anywhere that mountain bikers are.
Only wet clay seems to defy the low-profile pimples on the sole. Another must-try shoe for trail riders.
