How do I select the correct size shoe?

Measure each foot in cm. Use the larger foot for sizing. For wide feet, choose a wide model or go 1-2 sizes larger.

How do I know my shoe fits properly?

Cycling shoes prioritize stability and power efficiency. A proper fit is snug, supports the arch, allows slight toe movement. Excessive heel slippage indicates sizing issues. Check seams, straps, and folds for comfort.

What last and width are SHIMANO shoes available in?

SHIMANO DYNALAST offers standard and wide lasts, catering to 90% of riders. The wide last suits those with broader feet, ensuring a better fit without requiring a size increase.

Why do cycling shoes feel stiff when I walk in them?

A cycling shoe’s sole is engineered to support your foot in a stable position and distribute pressure from the pedal with little flex while pedaling. Therefore, it does not flex like most footwear when you walk in them.

Are SHIMANO cycling shoes vegan-friendly?

SHIMANO does not use any animal byproducts in the production of our cycling shoes.

THE PROCRASTINATION IS OVER
I’m a 80 year old cyclist working on 400,000 life time miles. I’ve always worn shimano cycling shoes . I Literally wear them out by almost riding 30 to 40 miles daily. However as I have gotten older my right foot hammer toes and bunion have gotten worst. Getting harder and harder to fit. The last pair bought 12 years ago where heat shrunk to my foot and bought over size to be comfortable. I bought this beginner set to tide me over until the RC7 arrive in November. To my definite surprise they where comfortable from the start. I used Shimano’s guidelines . I wore them in the house for a couple of days and then to the road for sprints and super hard Strava segments and KOMs. Never pinch or pain . The bunion in the image is after 70 miles. Looks good as a bunion can look. This pair and the RC7 will probably be my last. HAPPY FEET

4.0 out of 5 stars Great entry level shoe
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2023
Size: 8-8.5Color: Black - Men'sVerified Purchase
I am a somewhat-seasoned cyclist, and, while this shoe is aimed towards entry-level cyclists, it's great for anyone wanting to try out a different type of shoe. I was convinced to buy mountain bike pedals for my road bike when I first started cycling as they were easier to clip in and out of, but I stuck with them ever since. After learning that (wider) road bike pedals would provide more stability and power, I switched a road setup and bought a pair of these shoes. I didn't want to spend a whole lot right away in case it wasn't worth the upgrade. I was wearing a size 41 in my old MTB shoes and my toes often felt cramped. I bought a size 42 this time around and the difference is night and day. I felt like I had more power when riding, and I didn't have any sore or cramped toes after my ride yesterday. I do think I will upgrade to a different shoe someday with better/tighter lacing system (like the RC3 with the BOA system) as I did find it harder to tighten than the ratchet system on my old MTB shoes, but for $60 these were well worth the purchase to see what I had been missing out on.

I'm replacing a pair of Shimano shoes that I had paid much more that this one and I don't know how long they are going to last since I just recently got them but they fits perfectly and are much more comfortable. Not even thinking of adding an insole or something else to make them comfortable. They are comfortable as is. I'd recommend for sure.

Too bad only black is available. Preferred at least a two tones outlooks will make it even better.
