Shimano Shoe RC-702

Shimano Shoe RC702

The Shimano RC702 Road Cycling Shoe is a performance-focused road shoe designed for riders who want a stiff, efficient platform for hard training, racing and fast road riding. It combines a carbon fibre composite sole with a secure, adjustable upper for a precise connection between your foot and the pedal.

At the heart of the RC702 is its high-stiffness carbon fibre composite sole, giving the shoe a firm platform that helps transfer power efficiently through each pedal stroke. Shimano rates the sole at 10 on its stiffness index, making it well suited to riders who want a responsive feel when putting down the power.

The upper uses a combination of synthetic leather and mesh, with perforated sections helping improve airflow around the foot. Shimano's wraparound construction provides a supportive fit while distributing pressure across the upper.

Fit adjustment comes from two independent BOA L6 dials, allowing riders to make quick, fine adjustments to the tension. An adjustable Powerzone guide helps secure the forefoot, while the heel stabiliser adds additional support around the rear of the shoe.

The RC702 uses Shimano's DYNALAST last, designed around the shape and movement of the foot during the pedal stroke. It is compatible with SPD-SL road cleats and offers a generous cleat adjustment range, giving riders more flexibility when setting up their riding position.
