Offering a great entry into the world of clipless SPD riding, the Shimano SH-WR35 Women's Shoes blend value-driven performance with ample comfort. Its fiberglass-reinforced nylon sole is less stiff and uncompromising than race-driven offerings with carbon. However, the sole still provides efficient power transfer, thanks to its fiberglass-reinforcement. Ultimately, this makes the SH-WR35 an ideal choice for beginner cyclists looking to enhance performance over riding flats with regular sneakers.Looking to the shoe's upper, you'll find a multi-layer synthetic that's stretch-resistant for a well-bolstered fit without deformation over time. Strategically placed mesh inserts disperse heat away from your foot, enhancing temperature regulation on long rides. Other key features include a women's-specific fit that's narrower than what you'd find on a men's shoe, as well as three hook-and-loop straps for a customizable closure.
