XC703 Cycling Shoe - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These hit the sweet spot between stiffness and comfort. The carbon midsole gives you that snappy pedaling feel, while the ULTREAD sole grips in gnarly hike-a-bike terrain. It’s a serious off-road race shoe that doesn’t feel punishing on long efforts."

The Shimano XC703 Cycling Shoe is engineered for riders chasing maximum efficiency without sacrificing comfort or control on technical terrain. A carbon-reinforced midsole paired with a low stack height delivers direct power transfer to the pedals, ideal for XC racers and competitive trail riders alike. The seamless upper is tailored to a women's-specific last, creating a performance-focused fit that minimizes pressure points and enhances control over long distances.

The outsole features Shimano’s ULTREAD XC rubber compound with an aggressive lug pattern that provides confident grip when you’re off the bike—perfect for steep hike-a-bike sections or slick race transitions. The dual Boa® dial closure system allows precise micro-adjustments on the fly, locking in a secure fit across the entire foot. SPD pedal compatibility ensures efficient, low-profile engagement, making the XC703 equally at home on cross-country loops and technical racecourses.

With pro-level features and all-conditions performance, the XC703W is a go-to choice for competitive riders who demand power, stability, and all-day comfort from their footwear.
