Initial review. I had previously bought the Shimano RC3 which I could not get to fit tight with only a single BOA Dial. The Shimano RC7 is a significantly better shoe. The duel BOAs on each shoe make it easy to get the shoe nice and tight. The way the top BOA releases makes it very easy to get the shoes on and off. The sole is rock solid for good power transfer. The uppers are very comfortable without losing any power transfer. I rate these shoes as the best shoes I have owned in the 15 years I have been a serious recreational cyclists.
