SHIMANO SH-RC100 Feature-Packed Entry Level Road Shoe

Very comfortable beginner cycling shoes

As a size up on normal fits perfectly and are really comfortable

I bought this for cycling - but it's sole is very smooth and keeps slipping from the pedal. Not apt for cycling - which was the purpose for purchase

Product quality is good and outlooks is presentable. Solid comfortable feel. Fits perfectly.Too bad only black is available. Preferred at least a two tones outlooks will make it even better.

I hope this review will be short, but I have a lot to say, so here goes. I had been watching these shoes even before I bought my first road bike because I've had a great experience with the CT500 shoes, which are brilliant, but for a proper road bike, I needed something more suiting. Problem is that I bought a pair of shoes from Specialized, to match my bike and they turned out to be terrible for me. Even with their own brand of inserts, I was suffering during my rides. So I decided to take the plunge with these, got them used(Amazon used, which means box opened and tried on then returned) at a great price. Immediately I could sense that these shoes were going to be better than the others. Simplicity is the name of the game here, with the three straps that get the shoes to fit reasonably well, although you shouldn't wear cycling shoes too tight because of feet's natural tendency to swell during hard activity which ends up causing discomfort and can affect circulation. But after my first ride with these, I knew they were keepers and I've been ecstatic with them for over 500 miles now. I use the Specialized Body Geometry inserts with these shoes since the included ones seem too flat and unsupportive. The shoes look great and understated and while they're not super comfortable, still feel a little pressure at times and the occasional numbness when I'm really putting down the power, I'm not complaining one bit as I love these shoes.In summary, these are great for those getting their feet wet with their first pair of road bike shoes and something that definitely won't break the bank either. I can't wait to wear these out and get a higher end model.Update 8/05/2022I just realized that these shoes are actually too big for me. Problem is that folks with wide feet such as me, tend to incorrectly compensate a lack of width with a longer sized shoe, and this is wrong for so many reasons. Now I know why I get the numbness in my toes while riding with these shoes and it honestly has nothing to do with the shoes, but rather the way I chose the size of the shoes. The only way to do this right is to measure your feet carefully or just getting a professional bike fit that starts with the best shoe for you.But this goes to show how good these shoes actually are in the fact that despite how terrible this size actually fits me, they haven't caused too many problems for me in the months I've been using them. But now I have to replace these with wide shoes that actually fit me. Now if I'd have chosen my proper size, which is more of a 42.5-43 instead of a 44, while they may have been too narrow, the cleat location wouldn't have been as compromised as it has been for me.So in conclusion, these are great for those who are just getting started with road shoes with delta cleats, just make sure they fit like they're supposed to.

My "normal" European shoe size is a 41, so that is what I ordered. I needed to ship back and replace with a 42; fit perfectly. I appreciate the no hassle returns, but my review is the shoes.These are my first clipless shoes, so hard to compare and rate. I am using Shimano pedals and clips, so I fully expected the shoes to be compatible (they were). However I appreciate the adjustable velcro and that I can adjust quickly with cycling gloves on. There is also enough adjust-ability in the clip mounts to move them fore-aft and also adjust to slight angles if desired; it took me a couple of rides to get this dialed in but nice to have this feature.Overall I am pleased with the purchase; considering that this is the low end (dollar expense) of clipless shoes I am glad I like the budget offering.
