Lightweight, Heavy-Hitter Wide Gravel Shoe
The Shimano SH-RX801 Wide Gravel Shoes are featherweight gravel racing shoes as bold as their rider. Following the success of the original RX8, Shimano is back with updates to make the best even better.
This shoe is built around a super stiff and lightweight carbon composite sole for high-speed gravel racing. Below are lightweight, abrasion-resistant TPU lugs for the best balance of pedaling performance and off the bike capability. Above is a surround wrapping upper pattern with supple synthetic leather that balances holding power and comfort. Plus you'll be sure to stand out with vivid inkjet printed graphics with bold design.
The whole package is held together with low-profile BOA® Li2 dials with rubber grip allowing quick and precise micro-adjustments. And from foot to shoe to pedal, the RX801 is engineered with SPD pedals for maximum pedaling efficiency and stability.
Features:
Wear and weather resistant synthetic leather upper
Carbon sole with Shimano Stiffness Index: 10
BOA Li2 dials
SPD (2-bolt) cleat compatible

Go Wide.
by Mr Moco

Got these because I like my other Shimano road shoes. However, the regular size width was too narrow in toe box. Tried the wide shoe and they fit well. Don't know about durability, yet, but the fit is spot on (in wide model).

Not Wide Enough

These are great shoes, but the "wide" version is not wide enough (at least not in the right places) for me. I picked up the wide model to replace my old regular width RX-8's and hopefully get a little more room in the toe box, but there is actually less room than in my regular model. It seems like all the width is added around the midfoot and heel, where I don't need or want it. It could be that I've just broken in the old ones, but I'm not willing to put up with pinched toes to find out so I guess I'll stick with the old ones for now. Four stars because this is an incredible shoe if it works for you - they're super stiff and lighter than my road shoes - but maybe steer away if you need extra toe room.

Great gravel shoes - nice fit in the wide.

These are great shoes - the fit and finish are what you'd expect from Shimano. I got them in a wide version and they fit very well, could be a little wider imo but as far as cycling shoes go, these are a good option if you've got wide feet. Solid sole and the BOA closure works as it should - secure closure across the entire shoe. I really like the material used for the upper - easy to clean.
