ShimanoRC5 Cycling Shoe - Women's
Item # SHI00OU
RC5 Cycling Shoe
Its hard to beat the feeling of an early morning ride fueled by coffee, a hearty breakfast, and damn-near perfect weather. Well, that is, unless your feet are aching from ill-fitting kicks, and each pedal stroke wastes power on soft flex. Shimano offers the RC5 Cycling Shoe as an ideal solution that doesn't just get you through the ride, but does so with comfort and power. They are built to fall right into the mid-range of Shimano's lineup, thanks to the durable synthetic leather uppers that don't flex and stretch with time, plus mesh panels for a huge boost in breathability should your toes warm up as the temps rise. The uppers secure around your foot like a warm hug thanks to a combination of an Boa and hook-and-loop strap that helps disperse pressure away from the instep, while eliminating wiggle room for support through every part of your pedal stroke. While lighter duty soles can create flex that's comfortable, that flex wastes watts of energy, so Shimano builds the RC5 with a carbon-reinforced nylon sole that boosts stiffness, allowing every watt of power to go straight to the pedals.
- A mid-range shoe for stiff support on the ride
- Synthetic leather uppers don't stretch over time
- Boa and hook-and-loop strap snug down together to fit like a glove
- Mesh panels and perforation elevate breathability
- Midsole utilizes minimalist stack height for improved stabilizing
- Carbon-reinforced sole is stiff and supportive through pedal stroke
- Intefrated sole and upper construction achieves a new level of fit comfort

Great shoe, great color

- True to size
My wife HATES the fact that most ladies cycling shoes she can find are white or black. I surprised her with this shoe and she fell in love with it. Very thin material as it's a minimal lightweight material, so if you are using this shoe while winter riding consider a shoe cover as wind chill through the shoe is a definite. This will pay off come summer.

My wife LOVES these shoes! They are her first clip-in shoes...working great! Stiffness just right! I would give 5 starts but they only have BOA's on the upper and not also on the lower, but that is what you pay for with these.
