Review by AndyDual Boa is a game-changerby AndyPortland, OR2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.My other Shimano (SPD) shoes have lasted me 8+ years of commuting, gravel riding, and casual city rides, so I figured I'd stick with a known quantity for new road shoes. Good choice! These are very solidly built, yet pretty lightweight, and the dual Boa dial adjustment is great for getting just the right fit. My feet are long and not super wide, so I can snug them down nicely without any bunching and get a comfortable, secure fit. Bonus points for a timeless aesthetic

Review by Anonymousgreat value stiff road shoeby AnonymousCycling Enthusiastberkeley, ca1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.got these to replace giro composite nylon/carbon shoes and am so glad i did. the dual boa dials are way better than any combination of straps and boa, and are very easy to adjust on the fly. half sizing ensured a perfect fit. easy on the eye and also easy on the wallet vis a vis perfomance. highly recommended.

Review by a senior riderComfortable out of the boxby a senior riderCycling EnthusiastHenderson,NV1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Avid road rider. The shoe is a replacement for my old Shimano shoes that I wore out after 7 years. They squeak when you walk in them but not when riding. A bit loose in the heel but no rubbing or sore spots. I find them very comforable. They say U.S. 10.5/EU 45. I wear a 10.5 shoe and probably could have gotten away with a 44.5 in these but otherwise no complaints.

Review by Katie3rd times a charm!by KatieColorado Springs, CO1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.This was the 3rd pair of shoes that I ordered. The other two pair (1 women�s and 1 men�s) were a little too narrow in the to box. Customer service was so helpful in recommending these as an option and I�m glad he did! These fit great! I�ve always loved how Shimano had a wider toe box

Review by ChrisGreat piece of gearby ChrisPortlandThis shoe has been great! From the first pedal stroke I noticed a difference from my old shoes. The double boa lacing helps get the fit just right and comfortable. Plus, they look really cool too.

Review by BradFExcellent shoe for priceby BradFCycling EnthusiastChicago1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I�ve worn Sidi shoes for a very long time, but suffering from hot foot during long summer rides. The reviews said these shoes had a larger toe box, which should alleviate the hot foot issue. Good news - the shoes are as good as advertised. Very comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time without foot fatigue.

Review by L. T.Yeah, but...by L. T.New Orleans I wish Shimano would use the same lasts for their road shoes. Upgrading to this... the boas are great, so I'll have to use them a little looser than normal to get a good fit

Review by turbomaticMixed comfort for me...your experience may varyby turbomaticCycling EnthusiastAthens, GA5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.The upper boa strap really digs into the top of my foot--I have to be very careful about how much I tighten...too loose and I shift around in the shoe and it becomes unstable; too tight and it gets extremely uncomfortable. Unfortunately the line between too tight and too lose is microscopic--like 1 click on the boa dial, so I'm constantly adjusting while on the bike to find the ideal setting. After over 1,000 miles on the shoes, it's still a source of constant fiddling.
I do like that the toe box is quite generous. The soles also seem to be the perfect level of stiffness. Just the tiny-est bit of give for some level of comfort, but certainly plenty stiff for out of the saddle sprints.
The shoes also look aces--very sharp.

Review by nhmtnbkrExcellent road bike shoeby nhmtnbkrCycling EnthusiastNashua, NH2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I've been a longtime fan and user of Sidi bike shoes and their road shoes have often been top notch. Recent iterations, while still good, haven't been as great in their stiffness and power transfer, nor quite as comfortable on long rides.
Decided to try these and very happy I did. Fit is excellent and they adjust well to compensate for feet expansion on long rides. They're comfortable on those long rides, with an excellent level of stiffness for strong power transfer, yet still walkable when off-bike. They breathe decently despite not having large vents on top, but are warm on the hottest days.
So far they've held up great in the nearly 1,500 miles I've put on them in the few months I've had them, which hopefully bodes well for long-term durability.

Review by FRGatorGreat shoe for the price.by FRGatorCycling EnthusiastPalm City, FL2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I ride 4-5 days a week and have found these shoes to be perfect for my needs (have them in white too). Firm sole and good overall fit. During our club rides, when a sprint comes up, I don't feel any loss of power with these shoes. Materials seem to dry quick and don't retain any musty odor. Good buy!

Review by Charles in BoulderGreat Value - Comfortable Shoeby Charles in BoulderCycling EnthusiastBoulder, CO1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.These shoes are very comfortable. I normally don't buy road shoes online, because I feel that I have to try them on first. But I was in a hurry, these shoes were priced right, and I took a chance on the fit. I have a fairly wide foot, and I always worry about road shoes being too tight. These are a perfect fit for me, they look great, and I like the double BOA tightening system.

Review by KayentaLoverAn extremely comfortable but stiff and efficient shoe!by KayentaLoverCycling EnthusiastSouthwest Utah1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Have ridden Sidi, Shimano, and Giro high end shoes over the years of competitive riding. Now as a senior citizen logging 1500 miles/year, I was looking for a moderately stiff but comfortable shoe with a slightly roomier forefoot than racing shoes. The RC702 nails it for me. Wraparound design and BOA lacing spread the pressure uniformly and anchor my feet securely. Nice tight heel cup without excessive Achilles pressure I wear size 9.5 or 10 in athletic and street shoes and the size 43.5 is spot on. Workmanship and materials seem first rate. The cooling channel in the sole and well vented forefoot make then noticeably cooler than my Giros
These shoes are worth a look for anything short of racing.
