Shimano's Grand Tour-Winning Road Shoes
Road cycling shoes, perfect for competition, with a comfortable fit and high power transfer. The new technical solutions adopted for this model increase comfort, reduce weight and improve aesthetics. Compared to previous models, these shoes are more elegant.
The two aluminium alloy BOA Li2 closure wheels and the new cross lacing pattern combine to allow for customised micro-adjustment, which is easy to modify even while pedalling.
The heel features an anti-torsion stabiliser, which is integrated into the microfibre upper, contains the foot and helps prevent abnormal movements during hard efforts.
Dynalast technology optimises the curvature of the sole to reduce energy loss when pedalling long distances.
The S-PHYRE SH-RC903 inherits everything you loved about the previous generation in an even lighter and more breathable form. Designed for professional racers, top amateur cyclists, and anyone seeking a shoe that looks as amazing as it performs.
Features:
- Upgraded upper pattern and fabric for improved fit and weight reduction, shedding 20g per pair off the RC902.
- Flexible microfiber synthetic leather refines the fit, increasing comfort and reducing hotspots.
- Micro-perforations for superior breathability even during high-intensity riding.
- Dual BOA® Li2 dials for aerodynamic adjustment.
- 360° Surround wrapping upper ensures a 'sock-like' fit.
- Seamless midsole eliminates the lasting board, significantly reducing stack height and boosting power transfer.
- Tried and tested RC902 full carbon outsole with anti-twist heel cup stabilizer.
- Weight: 225g (size 42).
- Stiffness rating: 12.
- Available in Black, White, and Red.
When deciding what size cycling shoes to get, go with your normal shoe size, as bike shoes run true to size. However, if you’re normally between sizes, for example sometimes you go with a 9 and sometimes a 9.5, it’s recommended that you size up. “Always size up if you have to decide between two sizes because your foot can swell throughout the day and your foot size changes,” says Jessie Gascon, Shimano’s lifestyle gear product manager. “We recommend trying on shoes and doing shoe fittings in the afternoon for this exact reason.” Even hydration throughout the day can affect the size of your feet. Plus, unless you’re planning on racing, having a little extra room in your shoe won’t affect your riding.
