I've had this model shoe for several years and beat it up on a minor fall, so ordered a new pair and they fit perfectly (same size 45) and have more ventilation. The forward BOA was redesigned a little, but otherwise a solid shoe. Note: I like to slide my cleat back to alleviate foot pain, and this is the only pair I found that had enough adjustment.
These bad boys are not only stiff af, but they also got that clean look at a reasonable price. Go ahead and grab the S-Phyre if your shaved leg Fredulite friends on plastic spaceship bikes are teasing your for being a normal person that can't spend a trillion dollars on gear. This shoe is made for us mortals who love riding but couldn't be fudged to care about what Fredulites think as you drop em.
I really like my RC7, nice texture. Great value & it is my second pair. They are great all around!
