SHIMANOSH-RC702 Competition-Level Men's Road Cycling Shoe

I tried on about a half-dozen different road shoes before buying. These had the best fit by far. Snug through instep with ample room in toe box. Padding where needed. A little loose in the heel, but not enough to be a problem while peddling. Stiff with just enough flex for long training rides. The Boa cable closure system is excellent, providing secure customized fit w/o pressure points. The quick release exit is super convenient. Paired these with Wahoo/Speedplay Pro cleats and feel comfortably and efficiently connected to drive train.Warning that the above size conversion chart seems off. I wear a 9-9 1/2 shoe but needed a size 42.5 in this shoe (a full size smaller than shown in the chart).

I was concerned about the fit. I wear a Men’s 12 average width in US sizes. I like a little extra room in cycling shoes. The EU 47 fits great. Really like the Boa system on these shoes. You can keep them tighter at the ankles to minimize slippage and looser on the lower boas to allow your feet to breathe. Considering buying a second pair while on sale. Good shoes at reasonable prices are hard to find.

This SH-RC702 Shimano cycling shoe is decent, except that the color is dull black with some minor silver dots on the front. I expected the surface to be smoother and shiny. The reflective stripe on the heel is a great feature!My eggbeater cleats fit well.Unfortunately, the size I ordered was too large. I ordered a size 50 but a size 48 works much better. My bad. There are no size 48 shoes available locally! I reordered it in a better fit and have ridden it a half dozen times. The shoe holds my feet comfortably. Probably not suitable for wide feet. The dual adjustable straps on each shoe work well.I expect the shoe to last for years.EDIT: The top plastic cable broke on one shoe after 10 months use. If it can't be repaired, I'm out of luck.I'm not happy!

Really great to cycle in - i just completed a 40 mile and a 102 mile ride in them and they were super. Great ventilation, keep your feet at a good temperature, fit like a glove with the BOA fastenings. Super power transfer with the rigid carbon base. Also slightly wide fit as advertised, which was what I was looking for, no toes pinching as your feet swell slightly during a long ride. Length wise, despite being exactly the same size as my other Shimano's they are about 1/2 a size larger. Not enough to warrant a change. Overall 5 star,

This is my first pair of cycling specific shoes. They are great. In terms on look, they are stylish. A little narrow, with now feet issues with it. The BOA dial system is simple and easy to use. The shoes are stuff, like they should be. I would recommend these Shimano cycling shoe.

Purchased two pairs of these shoes, Size 12, one pair dedicated for racing, one pair for regular use, used with red 0 degree float cleats. Shoe fits snuggly and sizing is as expected. Previous Shimano R17 shoes used only for racing lasted about 7 years (~150 races before becoming unbonded). Using shoe trees to keep them expanded after riding. Easy adjustment features.

I like the shoes. Comfotable, stiff, good looking. The shoe tongue could be a little longer to make them perfect, irritates the ankle but overall I would but them again.

I absolutely loved these shoes. They replaced some fizik ones for me and they are far more lighter and platform is more stable. Very stiff sole for better power transfer and extremely breathable for those summer days. True to its fit and sizes.
