Details of Shimano ET5
On the bike
The Shimano Pedaling Science that has been incorporated into every aspect of the ET5 shoe makes you feel as if your foot is one with the pedal for ultimate control and a close connection to the bike. This is especially important because the higher speeds achieved on an e-bike place greater demands on the rider.
When walking
On every great adventure tour by bike, there are routes that you don't have to do in the saddle but on foot. And whether you want to overcome an obstacle or simply take a break in a café, whether your shoe feels comfortable and safe makes a huge difference. Shimano has considered every possible walking or hiking scenario in the scientific design of the ET5, so that the shoe delivers the same efficient performance in these phases alongside the bike.
