Shimano RC302 Road Shoes
The Shimano RC302 is a solid choice for riders who want a comfortable, well-fitting road shoe without jumping into the high-price bracket. The standout feature is the BOA® L6 dial, which lets you fine-tune the fit on the fly—tighten it up for a big effort or relax it slightly for longer rides.
The shoe uses a seamless upper and midsole construction, which gives it a stable feel and helps with efficient power transfer. The glass-fiber reinforced nylon sole is stiff enough for most riders, whether you’re chasing personal bests or joining a weekend bunch ride, but not so stiff that it sacrifices comfort.
Breathability is handled with perforated synthetic leather and mesh, and Shimano has built in some recycled content (about a third of the midsole and mesh), making it a more sustainable option in their range.
Who’s it for?
