Predictable fit and quality from Shimano

My oldest set of Shimano SPD-SL shoes are finally worn out, the upper is cracking and the lower heal is almost worn through now after 10 years of riding so when these came up on sale I jumped on them. I have 4 pair of Shimano shoes (2 road, 1 MTB, 1 Gravel), excluding the ones I'm retiring and they all fit the same, all comfortable and all with nice firm soles so I don't feel the pedals. This is my first pair with the double Boa, and I like that feature although it would be nice if they would loosen by turning reverse instead of having to pop the ratchet up and start over. These do seem to loosen up a bit at first when riding, very quickly but then they don't need adjusted again. Of the 4 usable pairs I have now, this is the one I like the best for adjustability. They are comfortable and don't move around when pedaling at all, just a nice solid fit for me.

Thank you for your feedback.

Dual Boa is a game-changer

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

Thank you for your feedback.

great value stiff road shoe

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

comfortable straight from the box

comfortable performance shoe straight from the box. Feels like it fits true to size for a snug performance shoe (I wear 10 in normal shoes and 44 fits perfect). Carbon midsole is stiff and totally reduces any pedal pressure points. For cooler temps covers are definitely needed as the bottom vents let in extra cold air.

Thank you for your feedback.

Shimano does not dissapoint!

I love these shoes!!! They fit well and secure my foot with the BOA system. I have also had Shimano shoes in the past and feel like the performance/value ratio is perfect for me. I am 195 pounds and never feel like the quality of the shoe is compromised. Good for riding in all weather. I am in Colorado so we have heat, rain, and snow. Never a problem with the RC702 shoes.

Thank you for your feedback.

Comfortable out of the box

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

3rd times a charm!

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

Thank you for your feedback.

Great piece of gear

This 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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Shoes

Typical Shimano, well build, well thought out. Very stiff. Only caution is like others mentioned the BOA connectors only tighten.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent shoe for price

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great fit

I like a tight fit for my shoes and the size is right on. Also, the twist locks give you ability to adjust as needed during the ride.

This is a very good shoe for the price.

I like shoe a lot it is a very comfortable shoe for everyday training. I would like it to be a little more stiffer in the heel for my personal preference.

Yeah, but...

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
