Excellent weather resistant boot at less than half the cost of the mw7. The neoprene upper will get wet in very heavy downpours and some water will therefore make it inside the shoe but the sealed nature of the body ensure your foot will stay warm if slightly moist. The lace fastener is quick and simple, with plenty of room to stow the excess lace. The flap itself is effective and wraps around the whole front, keeping all the water and dirt on the outside. The fit itself is reasonably wide, there is a wide version available apparently. I am size 43 and this 43 is pretty much perfect, with room for a thicker sock. Very happy with the quality, performance and price.

Shimano MW502 Winter MTB Shoes
Get set for the muddy fun of winter mountain biking with the cosy comfort of the Shimano MW502 Winter MTB Shoes. The elements are kept out thanks to Shimano’s DRYSHEILD® membrane, blocking wind and water to keep your feet drier and cosier for longer. A fleece-lined insole traps warmth and the tall neoprene cuff provides a flexible seal above the ankle. The wrapped upper, including an over-lace cover, also increases all-around weather protection. The speed lacing system gives quick adjustment and can be easily adjusted even with thicker winter gloves on.
The MTB-specific sole unit gets a grippy rubber tread, providing reassuring traction on muddy, wet and slippery terrain. The sole unit is rated 5/12 for stiffness, balancing pedalling efficiency and comfort, ensuring you can pedal with ease and taking the buzz out of rougher trails.

About Shimano
Shifting the way the world rides.
From a single Osaka workshop in 1921, Shimano has grown into the world's most influential component maker. The brand's relentless engineering — Dura-Ace, Ultegra, GRX, XTR — has shaped the way the world shifts, brakes and rides, on the road and off it.
Shimano's flagship groupset, Dura-Ace, has been the benchmark for top-level road components for more than five decades. Every refinement that lands on Dura-Ace eventually shapes the entire Shimano range, all the way down to entry-level drivetrains.
