Shimano’s RC1 Road Cycling Shoes are the perfect first step into the realm of dedicated riding footwear. The stiff glass fibre sole and 3-bolt cleat compatibility guarantee better power transfer and cycling comfort than soft-soled trainers, with the three Velcro straps providing plenty of secure adjustabilities. By using a wrap-over style tongue arrangement, hotspots and potential rubbing should be avoided and the combination of synthetic leather and mesh materials provides good breathability. If cycling after the sun has set, then the 360° reflective details will add extra visibility and safety.

Pedal cleats are available to be purchased separately.
