Shimano RC7 shoe review
The Shimano RC7 is the second road cycling shoe in the brand’s pecking order behind the premium Shimano S-Phyre RC902.
Overall, Shimano has tinkered with, rather than overhauled, the latest version of the RC7, but that’s largely no bad thing.
The sole is more flexible and the Boa dials are less sophisticated than on the pricier S-Phyre RC902s, being only adjustable one way.
The insole doesn’t come with the S-Phyre RC902’s adjustable arch inserts.
But the RC7 does have the S-Phyre RC902’s wraparound closure system, and it remains a brilliant all-round road cycling shoe at £130 less.
