Not for me, but seems like a good shoe
My feet started going numb on a shorter 20 mile ride, but I have fairly wide feet and have been wearing only "natural" shaped shoes for a few years now, so I think because of that these don't work for me. But if someone has narrow feet or is used to traditional shaped shoes, these are definitely worth a shot. The construction seems good, they're pretty, and they have a little heel texture which I found really useful when unclipped from my pedals but still moving. The Bontragers I tried before these did not have that feature and my foot slipped off unexpectedly every time I stopped. If you do have wider feet and can afford the price jump, try the RC5s! My feet felt good after a 35 mile ride so I plan on keeping them instead.
Tight Fit
This would have been my 4th pair of Shimano bike shoes. I normally wear a 9.5. My last pair of Shimano's were 40, previous road shoes were 42. I ordered these in a 41, very hard to put on, not a wide opening, and there were not only too narrow, but my toes hit the ends as well. My feet are slightly wide. I bought these to use on a peloton. Not sure yet if I will order a 42 instead or not, but these will be getting returned! I wish bike shoes weren't always so narrow.
Check size chart!!
Usually a size 42 translates to US women's 10.5 or 11, but for this model Shimano has decided to make up sizing? All my other cycling shoes (including other Shimano) are 42 but these are TINY. And size up isn't available.
Awesome!
These shoes are true to size and absolutely so comfortable!
Road Cycling Shoes
Good fit for my small feet, easy on easy off, great value. My last pair lasted for years and thousands of miles.
Runs a little small
Nice looking shoe, however runs a little bit small. Have to return.
Comfortable but tight
These are a little tight in the toe box, so if you have wider feet they may not be for you. I have to make sure that I don't tighten down the fron strap too much otherwise my feet will fall asleep while I'm spinning.
Great basic cycling shoe
Nice platform for indoor cycling. But beware… Runs small!
Too Small
Seems like a great shoe but runs small as others have sade
Good fit
I have not tried these out on the road yet but have tried them on my indoor bike. The fit is just right, not too tight. I usually wear a 6.5 in shoes and bought a 6.5. This is my first pair of cycling shoes and am happy with my purchase.
