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 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.

Comfortable and adjust perfect, the boa clips works very well and its esthetic is beautiful.

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.

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.

I'm not sure why, but my right foot goes numb while wearing these. I've done 6 or more rides with them, the longest of which was only 22 miles, but after about 5 miles, my right foot starts going numb. I've even wore them really loose, but it still happens. Weirdly, it only happens to my right foot.Everything else about the shoes are nice and function fine.

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.

I knew I wanted a RC7 to replace my 12 year old Shimano shoes. To be safe I ordered a RC1 to check the accuracy of the suggested fit . With the plan to keep that pair as well as the Ordered RC7 . The RC1 was a perfect match and fit. So when I got the RC7 pair of the same size I was disappointed to find that they didn’t fit. They where too narrow and just plain hurt. Plus the shoe was longer. I contacted the seller . With the idea idea that it was a fluke and they could correct the order with another pair . NO RESPONSE. So I guess I look elsewhere for a cycling shoe with a Boa closure
