Review:
Mega Mega stiff shoe that has a true zero void fit.
Carbon sole and all synthetic upper.
The shoe is heated to 100+ degrees in a special oven and then vacuum sealed around your foot.
The looks are a bit flashy but the fit is truly perfect.
The shoe can be remolded a few times if needed.
The insole is also heat molded to your foot.
A mechanical ratchet and 2 velcro closures hold the shoe on. You can run the closures noticeable looser since a the shoe is basically a casting of your foot.
The M-300 comes in 1/2 sizes and a second wider width.
A road version called the R-300 is even flasher for the road weenies in all of us.
I have had tried the ultra top end shoes from Sidi,Lake,Answer,Adidas and Carnac. These are just better.
Con:$$ $350. This falls into WTF! territory but they might just be worth it.
Shimano Says:
Thermo-form upper - Moldable upper forms to foot for a Custom-Fit
Thermo-form insole with antibacterial treatment - Moldable insole forms to foot for a precise fit.
Carbon fiber mid-sole transfers your energy straight to the pedals, and allows compliance and grip for hike sections
Micro-adjust buckle and dual offset straps - Securely holds foot and allows subtle adjustments. Offset straps prevent pressure points to instep.
