Shimano Shoe RC-702 Wide

Shimano Shoe RC-702 Wide

The Shimano RC702 Wide Road Cycling Shoe brings competition-level road performance to riders who need a little more room through the foot. Based on Shimano's RC7 platform, the Wide version combines a highly rigid carbon composite sole with a supportive, breathable upper and precise dual-BOA adjustment, making it a strong choice for serious training, racing and fast road riding.

The carbon fibre composite midsole provides a stiff platform designed to minimise unwanted flex under load and transfer power efficiently through the pedals. With a stiffness rating of 10/12, the RC702 is firmly positioned as a performance road shoe for riders who want a direct, responsive connection to their bike.

The Wide last provides additional volume compared with the standard version, making the shoe a better fit for riders who find conventional road shoes restrictive around the forefoot. The upper uses a wraparound construction that supports the foot while helping spread pressure more evenly, reducing the likelihood of uncomfortable pressure points during longer rides.

Two independent BOA L6 dials allow precise micro-adjustment across the upper, so you can fine-tune the fit before heading out or make small adjustments during a ride. An adjustable Powerzone guide helps secure the forefoot, while the heel stabiliser provides additional support at the rear of the shoe.

Shimano's DYNALAST shaping is designed around the natural movement of the foot during the pedal stroke, while the wide cleat adjustment range gives riders more flexibility when positioning their 3-bolt SPD-SL cleats. Ventilation through the upper and sole also helps manage heat during harder efforts and longer rides.
