I ride 4-5 days a week and have found these shoes to be perfect for my needs (have them in white too). Firm sole and good overall fit. During our club rides, when a sprint comes up, I don't feel any loss of power with these shoes. Materials seem to dry quick and don't retain any musty odor. Good buy!
These shoes are very comfortable. I normally don't buy road shoes online, because I feel that I have to try them on first. But I was in a hurry, these shoes were priced right, and I took a chance on the fit. I have a fairly wide foot, and I always worry about road shoes being too tight. These are a perfect fit for me, they look great, and I like the double BOA tightening system.
Stiff sole
Light
Comfortable
Love 'em
Wear them multiple times per week on training rides.
The shoe has very little flex although since I quit racing I'm not putting them through sprint stress
I like a tight fit for my shoes and the size is right on. Also, the twist locks give you ability to adjust as needed during the ride.
The boot provides a secure foot for power. The two Boa's is a significant upgrade from my previous boot with only one Boa and a Velcro strap across the toe box. This boot provides ample toe box area. My only knock was a bit of a stitch rub on the right foot during a Century. The second Century - no issue
The RC702 shoe is just one example of Shimano's signature quality and comfort. I wear a 43.5 cycling shoe. This show fits perfectly. The heal cup keeps your foot planted. The shoe is very attractive and very well ventilated. The dual BOA work great.
With the newer designs, Shimano has made the toe section too straight. As a result, the outer part of my big toe rubs against the side of the toe box, to great pain. That was not the case with my older R320 model. Too bad.
Always hesitant when ordering shoes online, but ordered my normal size 45 and they fit great, no hot spots, no issues. I've done several hundred miles in them already including one century plus ride with no foot issues. After the first ride I wasn't sure, but they upper broke in quickly and are not an issue at all. The dual BOA closures make on bike adjustments easy.
I�ve worn Sidi shoes for a very long time, but suffering from hot foot during long summer rides. The reviews said these shoes had a larger toe box, which should alleviate the hot foot issue. Good news - the shoes are as good as advertised. Very comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time without foot fatigue.
These shoes look cool and feel stiff. They're a little heavier than a premium race shoe and they run about a size smaller than other brands. However, these are perfect trainers for someone looking for a stiff carbon shoe, with a nice price.
They are great in every way. There is something i am not fully in love with though. Might be the slightly lise fit despite being the right size.
Use for all rides, all weather. Good fit with easy adjustments. Accurate cleat alignment. Nice look!
I like shoe a lot it is a very comfortable shoe for everyday training. I would like it to be a little more stiffer in the heel for my personal preference.
I wish Shimano would use the same lasts for their road shoes. Upgrading to this... the boas are great, so I'll have to use them a little looser than normal to get a good fit
Perfect all round comfort and fit.
Simple Boa easy to adjust on the fly.
Cleat holes on sole allow for extra setback if you need . Also sharp looking . Can't go wrong with these
Great shoe.
I like the feel, closure and overall fit of these shoes
