If you’re looking for the top-of-the-line cycling shoes, you don’t have to look any further than Shimano's S-PHYRE RC9 shoes. Not only are these one of the most beautiful shoes on the market, but they leverage Shimano’s vast experience for a precise fit and power transfer. These are the third generation of the S-PHYRE shoes and have subtle improvements to optimize the fit. The Shimano S-PHYRE RC903 shoes retail for $450 and feature a dual BOA Li2 dial closure system. These are one of Shimano’s stiffest cycling shoes with a full carbon fiber outsole and anti-twist heel cup. Shimano has refined the toe box shape for a more comfortable fit and added a ribbed rear design that highlights the subtle color shifting finish. As with previous iterations of the RC9 shoes, the RC903 has an integrated seamless midsole and upper construction for optimal power transfer.
The S-PHYRE RC9 shoes are Shimano’s top-of-the-line shoes and showcase the latest technology and materials. These are the third-generation of the RC9 shoes and are more of an incremental update than an evolution so they look quite similar to the previous generation RC902 shoes. Shimano offers the shoes in four color options: white, red, blue and black. Even though the color names don’t have exotic names, all the colors have a pearl finish which creates a subtle color shift. That means even the simple white versions have a rose color shift to make them stand out. We have the classic Shimano blue color in this review which shifts to a purple color depending on the angle of the light. In our opinion, these shoes are one of the best looking on the market, with the DMT KR0s being a close second, thanks to their functional yet flashy design. Note, Shimano even offers a limited edition $475 special edition RC9 shoe with a champagne color with metal BOA Li2 dials.
In terms of construction, the RC903 features a lightweight microfiber leather with perforations for ventilation along the front. Shimano has utilized an integrated seamless midsole and upper construction which uses a wrap-around design instead of a traditional tongue. The material wraps around the sole and has slits on the front that tucks underneath itself and provides an optimal fit. Shimano has also rounded out the front toe box shape with the RC903 shoes in response to rider feedback. We have the wide variation here but even the standard width variation has a well sized toe box that has generous sizing. On the rear you have an updated anti-twist heel cup that is more integrated and features a ribbed appearance. Raised edges on the rear and additional padding keep your heel firmly in place even during high-intensity sprints.
