I bought these because you could get a wide version. After many years of cycling I need a wider shoe to alleviate some numbness in my feet. These fit the bill. I find them very comfortable. I do like the way the boa and lacing works on these. One boa tightens evenly. The one downside I found is there is more flex in the shoe than I would like. It is not bad, but I prefer something very ridged. I would not get these if you are an aggressive rider, but if you are not mashing on the pedals all day they are OK.
Good value. Very light and stiff. If you’re between sizes, definitely go with the larger.
replacing 20 year-old shimano rc shoes. i love the feel and fit of my new rc5s. the BOA system works great, and my fellow riders think it's pretty durable.
