SHIMANO SH-RC100 Feature-Packed Entry Level Road Shoe

Product Information

As we say above, price is the most common top consideration for people buying cycling gear…the same goes for buying Cycling Shoes. You might be a cycling newbie or a relative De-France competitor, but anyone can fall victim to the common buying mistakes when it comes to cycling gear. Unfortunately, while the internet makes shopping easier than ever before, it has also increased the difficulty for newcomers to discern the good from the bad.

Whatever you might be buying for your cycling trips, it’s important to do your research. Afterall, cycling can be dangerous if improperly or inadequately equipped, so it’s vital that your gear is safe and high quality. But what do you need to look out for when shopping for cycling gear? What are the best brands? What kit is really necessary? Do you really need it? But this goes to show how good these shoes actually are in the fact that despite how terrible this size actually fits me, they haven't caused too many problems for me in the months I've been using them. But now I have to replace these with wide shoes that actually fit me. Now if I'd have chosen my proper size, which is more of a 42.5-43 instead of a 44, while they may have been too narrow, the cleat location wouldn't have been as compromised as it has been for me. Sometimes we aren’t always able to store a bike in a warm, safe place. People living in shared accommodation, student housing, flats or other types of arrangements may not be allowed to keep their bicycle in communal areas (where space is usually the biggest). He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John’s bluff and the rest is history.

From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected. Big brands are typically a good place to put your money, and these companies pay lots of money to professional cyclists to advertise their goods. John has been writing about bikes and cycling for over 30 years since discovering that people were mug enough to pay him for it rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work.

You may have heard the old adage ‘all the gear and no idea’. This concept is very much applicable to new riders that want to make sure that they have everything they need before their first trip on the pedals.

Latest Comments

Made from lightweight synthetic leather and using a foot-wrapping smooth upper, the RC100 Road Shoes give an instantly comfortable fit devoid of hotspots and chafing. And thanks to the excellent breathability and ventilation holes, you’ll enjoy fresh feet throughout your ride too. To get the fit just right every time, Shimano gives the RC100s three velcro straps. The straps minimise weight, reduces fuss and offers a reliable means of adjustment to get the fit just as you like it. SPD/mountain bike style shoes have a small cleat (a special stud) recessed into the sole. They're easier to walk in than road racing shoes and because the pedals are usually double-sided they're easier to get into. They're the way to go if you want to get started with clipless pedals.

I hope this review will be short, but I have a lot to say, so here goes. I had been watching these shoes even before I bought my first road bike because I've had a great experience with the CT500 shoes, which are brilliant, but for a proper road bike, I needed something more suiting. Problem is that I bought a pair of shoes from Specialized, to match my bike and they turned out to be terrible for me. Even with their own brand of inserts, I was suffering during my rides. mm / 238 mm / 245 mm / 252 mm / 258 mm / 265 mm / 272 mm / 278 mm / 285 mm / 292 mm / 298 mm / 305 mm / 312 mm / 318 mm The upper, with its wrap-around design, creates a shoe that is comfortable and fits around the foot well, even if the Velcro toe box strap offers little adjustment. I didn’t suffer any rubbing or issues with circulation.Safety should always come first. You should never skimp when buying bicycle gear because it could one day save your life. You (hopefully) would never cut corners on your helmet, so you shouldn’t act any differently to the rest of your gear. As Mat Brett discusses at length in our article covering everything you need to know about cycling shoes, there are broadly two types of cycling shoes: road racing style and SPD/mountain bike style.
