"Like the flip of a switch, fall weather arrived in my neck of the woods, opening the door to test these shoes in the conditions for which they are intended. The temperatures have fallen, and so has some much-needed moisture, and we're lined up for some of the best conditions of the season. But with that comes the ongoing challenge of keeping my feet warm and dry when riding in the cold and/or rain, or on wet trails."
"The GE900 GTX is part of Shimano's "gravity enduro" range of mountain bike footwear. It's very similar to the existing GE900 clipless gravity shoe in terms of aesthetics, features, and intended use, but with a Gore-Tex liner and stretchy ankle cuff added to keep the elements at bay. It looks strikingly similar to the GF800 GTX flat pedal shoes that came out a couple of years ago."
The Shimano GE900 GTX is a gravity enduro mountain bike shoe that adds a full Gore-Tex liner and an extended ankle collar to the GE900 clipless design. The upper uses synthetic leather with ventilation holes above the toes and on the outside of the midfoot. Closure combines a BOA L6 dial over the midfoot and a velcro strap to lock the heel, while a thick rubber bumper protects the toes. The shoe closely resembles the GF800 GTX flat-pedal model in appearance. Initial rides in cool temperatures, consistent drizzle, and muddy conditions indicate effective warmth and water resistance for wet and cold-season riding. Only a couple of rides have been completed, so long-term durability and performance remain unconfirmed.
