2018 Shimano GR9 DH Shoe (For Flats, 11.2 US 46 EU)

Condition: Brand New, in box

So I bought 2 sets of these shoes from an online retailer which I didn't research their return policy ahead of time (my fault). Unfortunately I would have to foot the bill back and they are in another country and the shipping would literally cost me half the shoe so I'll see if anyone on here needs them.

I've ridden 5.10's my entire life and since the discontinuation of the Karver, I haven't looked in depth to their line because it seems it lacks anything with a top lace cover. I researched these a ton before I purchased and the shoe seems to have gotten really good reviews all around so I pulled the trigger to try something different than 5.10's. They fit the bill for what I'm looking for in a shoe.

This is for the size 46 EU, which per Shimano is a US 11.2. I'd say they are pretty true to size as I'm an 11 or slightly under and I needed to go with a 45. I think these would be good for US 11.5-12.

Price includes shipping to the US.

Per Shimano's "colorful" description below so you don't need to go looking for it:

"Charge into rough and chundery trails feet-first with the Shimano SH-GR9 Mountain Bike Shoes, ready to shred the bike park day in and day out. The SH-GR9 shoes excel on big terrain, thanks to its burly construction that's designed for riders who like to push the limits. Tough uppers, protection where it's needed, and breathability to keep hot-foot at bay are just some of the features that make Shimano's new gravity-specific flat shoe a fan favorite.

This year's clipless shift of Shimano's well-loved SH-AM7 had us worried that flat-peddlers had been thrown to the wayside, but fortunately we received an extra-pleasant surprise of a category of our own. The new debut of the GR line gives us flat offerings to satiate us for years to come. The SH-GR9 does just that, starting with a snug hug that holds our feet in tight with synthetic leather uppers, built to repel water and mud, and dry quickly. Laser cut perforations hit the uppers both laterally along the side of your foot, and on the toe box to keep the shoe breathable. A speed lace system allows for fast and secure adjustments, and armored lace shield adds extra protection from low branches and trail debris. On the inner ankle the cut is asymmetrical, adding extra padding to protect you from the odd stray crank, or frame in the event of a crash.

Shimano pairs up with Michelin on the outsole, to give you the promise of reliable rubber that won't shred or slip. Michelin's compound is admittedly a little bit less tacky than some of the others out there, but still provides enough grip to feel locked and planted on the pedals. The rubber is remarkably durable, so you don't have to worry about shredding it in the course of one season, and provides solid traction for when you need to hike in the woods to get the perfect shot of your buddies barreling down the trail, or —you know, take a call with nature.
