Yes, these are the shoes seen on the feet of so many pro racers and triathletes. When you are incredibly demanding on your equipment, and you need a precise fit, Shimano's S-Phyre RC-9 shoes might be the best choice in footwear we have. The carbon fiber sole built into the RC-9 can put up with powerful sprinters like Mathieu van der Poel, and last for years. A little bit of extra fore-aft cleat adjustability makes for excellent cleat positioning. Our bike fit staff appreciates the printed grid on the sole, allowing for error-free cleat replacement. Dual Boa IP1 closures offer incremental on-bike adjustments. The upper is very breathable, while a drain hole under the toe prevents soggy socks.
