Shimano RC1W (RC102W) Women’s Cycling Shoes

The Shimano RC1W (RC102W) Women’s Cycling Shoes are engineered for riders seeking efficient power transfer, precise fit, and all-day comfort on the road. Designed with Shimano’s Surround Wrapping upper structure – originally developed for the S-PHYRE performance range – the shoe’s panel layout reduces overlap, removes pressure points, and wraps the foot securely for a stable pedalling platform.

A seamless midsole construction eliminates the lasting board, reducing stack height to maximise connection between foot and pedal. This design, rarely seen at this price point, increases pedalling efficiency and improves responsiveness with every stroke.

The perforated synthetic leather upper uses lightweight recycled mesh inserts to enhance breathability and temperature control, while maintaining a close, supportive fit. Beneath, a glass-fibre reinforced nylon sole delivers stiffness without excess weight, achieving a stiffness rating of 6 – ideal for riders balancing performance with long-distance comfort.

Three hook-and-loop closure straps provide micro-adjustable fit control across the instep and forefoot, allowing quick on-the-fly adjustments. Reflective print detailing improves rider visibility in low-light and winter conditions. At 260g per shoe (size 42), the RC1W keeps rotational weight to a minimum for smooth acceleration and sustained cadence.
