Shimano RC1 (RC102) Shoes

The Shimano RC1 (RC102) Shoes in sleek black deliver versatile performance for everyday road cycling, blending pro-level design features with all-day comfort. Designed for riders who want a high-quality road cycling shoe without the premium price tag, the RC1 offers an exceptional balance of fit, stiffness and durability.

Built around Shimano’s Surround Wrapping upper structure, originally developed for the pro-grade S-PHYRE range, these shoes minimise overlap and eliminate pressure points for a glove-like fit. The seamless midsole construction – a feature rarely seen at this price point – removes the lasting board to lower stack height, improving pedalling efficiency and maximising power transfer.

The lightweight perforated synthetic leather upper, combined with breathable recycled mesh panels, keeps feet cool on long rides. A glass-fibre reinforced nylon sole delivers the stiffness needed for efficient power delivery, while the three hook-and-loop straps allow for precise adjustability and a secure fit. For added visibility in low-light conditions, reflective detailing is integrated into the design. Weighing just 260g per shoe (size 42) and with a stiffness rating of 6, the RC1 is built for comfort, performance and style in equal measure.

Ideal for keen road cyclists looking for dependable, all-season footwear that can handle everything from weekend club rides to daily training sessions.
