Shimano GR9 shoes

Shimano have collaborated with Michelin on the rubber compound for the outsole of their new flat pedal shoes. There’s a shallower-treaded central area to accommodate the pedal, while the toe and heel are more pronounced to offer a touch more grip when walking. A massive lace flap and raised, padded inside ankle should protect you from splashes and crank knocks. At £119, they’d better deliver. www.madison.co.uk
