My Shimano Men's RC5 Wide Road Cycling Shoes were delivered in a timely manner. I ordered the Eur 42 size Wide-Large (US 8.3). I removed my old 3-screw cleat and reattached it on the RC5 without any issues and adjusted them to a position, according to my pedaling style. Shoe fit was spot-on, the "Wide" really made a difference in comfort... I initially went to an REI store and tried the "normal" (Non-Wide 42) and the fit was tight. They did not have the Wide, so I had to order them from the REI Coop store. I was lucky to get it at a Labor Day sale, but technically, the shoe with the Boa dial laces gave the shoe a nice snug fit. It would have been nice to have a 2nd Boa dial for the front portion of the shoe, but it had velco (which as sufficient). I typically ride approximately 120-150 miles/week, but only use this Road Cycling Shoes for about 50-miles of the ride. So, far after a few weeks, the shoes perform well. I would recommend this shoe for any cyclist that have "wide" foot (I normally wear a EE shoe).
Nice design, looks legitimate for price but sizing is too wide apart (no half sizing?)
It’s not that wide. Compared to other shoes that are in a wide size, they are narrower. They also don’t breathe particularly well. And super flexible, I can feel them bend significantly when pedaling hard.
