Great shoe, sizing was off
"Shoe is amazing, quality and weight. the sizing ran bigger than the measurements."
Focus on Every Detail
S-PHYRE
Anti-twist stabilizing structure within the heel cup offers unparalleled stability during explosive sprints. DYNALAST technology secures your foot in place, reducing power loss at the pedal and lessening fatigue during long rides, while the optimized toe-spring section reduces tension in your feet, calves, and hamstrings - so you can go further, faster.
How a shoe fits and feels defines its performance. The RC903 takes both to the next level with a 360º surround wrapping upper, a refined toe box fit, and a low-profile crossover lacing pattern with two BOA® Li2 dials for the most precise fit possible.

"Shoe is amazing, quality and weight. the sizing ran bigger than the measurements."
"The shoes are a fantastic upgrade from my previous pair. The fit is spot on, and I really appreciate how responsive they are and how seamlessly they make my leg feel connected to the bike."
"Too narrow, even in the "wide" version. I don't have wide feet. I was trying to replace a 2019 pair of S-phyres. The current wide version is narrower than the standard width from six years ago."
"Great shoes, love them"
"Genuinely the most comfortable shoe I have ever put on my foot. Just starting to get into road racing after a decade racing XC, and figured I'd invest in high quality shoes. I noticed Shimano had an option for "wide" fitting shoes and gave them a try. Safe to say I am happy with my purchase and have never been more satisfied with a shoe, on or off the bike. I have very wide feet, collapsed arches, and pretty severe pronation that has required two surgeries to help correct, yet these shoes fit me perfectly with the stock insoles in my regular size. I have absolutely no discomfort and no complaints!"
"Largest of this wide version is 11-11.5.’ Shoes are not wide at all. These are more narrow than previous additions of this shoe like these five or seven series. Don’t buy this if you have wide feet unless you enjoy discomfort and pain. These shoes were ruining my riding experience. I bought them for myself for my birthday. I wore them once. Now they’re not taking my return. The return policy sucks. Unless you can try these on at a store and they’re not already tight, do not buy them. It will ruin your writing experience. They are more narrow than previous shoes that were wide. Shame on Shimano on such a bad return policy. Now I have to sell these pieces of garbage online and lose money. I’ll never buy anything from Shimano again."
"Very comfortable, easy to adjust, light. Just what I wanted and in the blue. Just as comfy as my old mtb shoes (also in the photo)"
"Great looking and fitting shoes. I have worn Shimano RC-7s for years but I decided to step up to the top tier and got these for my birthday this year."
"Love them!"
"I have a 3E wide foot I have been using the R315 then R320 wide shoes with good success. Unfortunately, they were getting old and worn so I decided to upgrade to the 903E (wide) shoes. I am very disappointed in these. The wide(??) version seems to be quite narrow with a strange fit. I suppose someone with a regular width foot would be happy with these, but I certainly am not. Too bad, I have been using Shimano shoes for quite a few years now but have to look elsewhere to find a wide shoe."
