My previous Shimano road bike shoes lasted over 20 years and many cleat replacements (and one shoe repair). These RC1s are similar to my original pair with Velcro closures. The fit is good and comfortable. At my point in time, if these last another 20+ years…someone else will be wearing them 😎
Easy on/off, very comfortable, fit well for street riding
