RC903 S-Phyre Womens Road Cycling Shoes

Shimano RC903 S-Phyre Womens Road Cycling Shoes

Lighter and better fitting than their RC902 predecessor, the WorldTour tested Shimano RC903 S-Phyre Womens Road Cycling Shoes shed weight thanks to an upgraded upper, and this version has a slightly reduced volume and narrower fit that tends to offer an improved fit for female riders. 

The microfibre synthetic leather upper includes micro-perforations and the lower section of the tongue uses a perforated mesh to enhance breathability. It's supple and a 360° surround wrap secures and stabilises the foot within the shoe. Two BOA dials allow plenty of lace tension adjustment. 

Another update that comes into its own during sprints and hard efforts is the heel cup, which now incorporates an anti-twist feature that locks the heel in place. A full carbon outsole ensures all watts are transferred through the pedals, with a seamless midsole eliminating the need for a lasting board, and subsequently reducing stack height.  

Sizing note: 

Shimano shoes run small. If you usually wear a 44, order a 45 here. If you're between half sizes, always go up.
