The Shimano RC703 road cycling shoes are designed for those seeking a level of performance similar to the range-topping S-Phyre model but without the price tag. Consider these shoes the second tier, or the Ultegra level in Shimano’s road cycling shoe lineup.
Being part of such a lineage means these shoes are intended for keen amateurs looking for fast-ride performance. During my time testing these shoes, they have performed well. There have been a few niggles, which I’ll get onto later but as second-tier products go, these shoes are a worthwhile addition to Shimano’s lineup and provide a strong choice for riders looking for one of the best cycling shoes at a lower price.
