Description Firing on all cylinders.
Worn by pro teams like LottoNL-Jumbo, Orica-BikeExchange, and Giant-Alpecin, you know Shimano churned out a winner with their top-of-the-line SH-RC9 S-Phyre Wide Road Shoe. The one-piece synthetic leather upper features Teijin Avail Microfiber and Surround wrap technology for a glove-like fit on a broad range of feet. Perforated dimples facilitate ventilation and drainage. The dual BOA IP1 dials with Powerzone lacing ensure a secure and precise fit that's easy to adjust on the fly.
Shimano bonds the upper to the ultra-rigid carbon sole using a technique that forgoes the traditional lasting board between the footbed and outsole resulting in a lower stack height, improved stability, and increased power transfer. Inside, the quick-dry 3D mesh and Silvadur™ antimicrobial insoles keep your feet cool and fresh, even as you fire off attacks from the peloton.
Claimed weight: 232g (size 42). Compatible with standard 3-bolt road cleats. Available in multiple colors.
Details:
Close-to-foot shape with a narrow bottom, rounded heel, and slim toe box.
Extra 11mm of cleat adjustment range.
External heel cup prevents foot twisting.
Durable high density foam.
Curved cup insole and adaptable arch pads optimize angle of heel bone.

Incredibly stiff and light, but wears pretty quickly.

The upper gets scuffed pretty quickly, and so does the outsole, but I guess that's normal. The shoe itself is incredibly lightweight, comfortable, and stiff. I used this with SPD cleats via an adapter, and it's pretty solid.

Nice shoes....but

Nice light shoe, boas work great. Caveat I have flat feet, and corn on my right small toe. I have trimmed supplied foot bed to help with my foot issues. Nice that 2 different size arch supports are included. Carbon sole is stiff, great for power transfer. Downside stiff sole also can create hot spots. Man made upper after 2 months has not conformed to foot. I need be selective in my socks as thickness can make for an uncomfortable fit. The sale price made it a good bargain.

Fantastic shoe

Got the Shimano wide size 46. I normally were a size 46.5 Sidi. Fantastic shoe that fit my feet like a slipper. The Boa dials are much better and easier to adjust on the fly than the Sidi.
