Flying under the red kite with a small lead is little consolation when your heartrate has been in the red for several kilometers just to hold off the charging pack. When you're pushing your body to its limits, you don't want to second-guess the gear that you're using. Shimano understands this, and that's why the SH-WR83 Cycling Shoes are designed to be the ultimate women's racing shoe by transferring power as efficiently as possible.
The WR83s' ventilated, full carbon outsoles are among the stiffest that Shimano make, giving them pro-level power transfer qualities with no concessions in weight. You can mash confidently knowing that you're not losing any watts to inefficient flex. These soles are mated to a synthetic leather upper that resists stretching and incorporates mesh panels so your fit remains unaltered and your feet remain cool during long days in the saddle. It's cut with a more slender fit, meant to accommodate a woman's foot, and is shaped by Shimano's Dynalast technology, which is the same last design used throughout the Japanese manufacturer's line.
Dynalast involves lowering the toe-spring and heel section in relation to the arch and metatarsal areas. This creates an optimal pedaling angle on either side of the up-swing, so the dead time spot is shortened, increasing your pedal efficiency by a claimed .56% on each stroke. While that doesn't seem like much at first blush, any cyclist who's ridden for longer than two hours understands that marginal gains like this can be the difference between finishing a group ride or race at the front or struggling to hang on.
A combination of one ratcheting buckle and two hook-and-loop straps let you vary the fit across the length of your foot, giving you more security at the top and more room for metatarsal expansion at the forefoot. The insole contributes to the fit by comfortably keeping your heel stable. You don't have to ratchet the straps down to the point of losing feeling in order to keep your heel from slipping during sprints or uphill attacks.
