{"product_id":"shimano-xc503-shoes-wide","title":"Shimano XC503 Shoes - Wide","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eShimano XC503 Shoes - Wide\u003c\/strong\u003e are built for cross-country and trail riders who need a dependable, performance-focused MTB shoe in a wider fit. With a BOA L6C dial closure, a carbon-reinforced midsole, and a grippy rubber outsole, the XC503 Wide delivers efficient power transfer and secure footing across varied terrain — without the narrow last that sidelines riders with wider feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShimano's DYNALAST technology reinforces the nylon midsole with carbon fiber, striking a balance between stiffness and weight that suits riders who spend long hours in the saddle. The stiffness index of 7.0 puts the XC503 firmly in capable cross-country territory — stiff enough for efficient pedaling on sustained climbs and technical trails, with enough flex to walk comfortably when the trail demands it. The BOA L6C closure system wraps the foot with even, micro-adjustable tension, and the integrated bash guard protects the dial from impact and trail debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ULTREAD rubber outsole provides traction on both wet and dry surfaces, with a lug pattern suited to trail conditions. A reinforced spike mount adds an extra point of grip when conditions call for it, and standard SPD 2-bolt compatibility makes these shoes a natural match for the full range of Shimano MTB pedals as well as other 2-bolt SPD systems. Available in wide sizing from EU 40 to EU 48, the XC503 Wide fills a gap for riders who have struggled to find a capable MTB shoe that actually fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"specs_at_a_glance\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e BOA L6C with integrated bash guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMidsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon-reinforced nylon (DYNALAST technology)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e ULTREAD rubber with reinforced spike mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStiffness Index:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~300g per shoe (EU 42)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleat Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e SPD 2-bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e EU 40-48 (wide last)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"design_benefits\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide last construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — designed specifically for riders with wider feet, eliminating the hotspots and discomfort that come from forcing a wider foot into a standard last\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDYNALAST carbon reinforcement\u003c\/strong\u003e — stiffens the midsole where it matters for pedaling efficiency while keeping overall weight in check\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBOA L6C precision fit\u003c\/strong\u003e — micro-adjustable closure delivers even tension across the foot, easy to dial in mid-ride with gloved hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eULTREAD outsole grip\u003c\/strong\u003e — multi-surface rubber compound performs on wet roots and muddy trails without sacrificing walking comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStiffness index 7.0\u003c\/strong\u003e — capable cross-country performance that also handles short hike-a-bike sections without punishing the rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shimano","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 44","offer_id":45227787517996,"sku":"ESHXC503MGL01E44000","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/shimano-xc503-shoes-wide-9852682.jpg?v=1771291688","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/shimano-xc503-shoes-wide","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
