Why We Like The Shimano RC903 S-PHYRE Wide Cycling Shoe
The race-engineered Shimano RC903 S-PHYRE Wide Cycling Shoes feature the same high-performance technology as its regular width version, but with a wider fit for riders who seek a bit of extra space. Using DYNALAST technology, a proprietary last built specifically for wide-width shoes, you are provided with a fit that conforms to the natural contours of your foot to allow for a smooth, efficient upstroke. An anti-twist heel cup in the shoe's footbed stabilizes your heel when you put down max watts, while its optimum stiffness levels maximize your power transfer and reduce energy loss.

Perfect fit and high quality shoes
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I bought these shoes about a month or so ago. Since the moment I put them on, I love the fit. I have a wide toe box and somewhat narrow ankle and the sapphire’s fit perfectly. The ankle retention is perfect. After trying most of the higher end brands (Sidi, Specialized, Giro, Lake), I would say that this so far are the best fitting shoes. The carbon sole is plenty stiff and doesn’t cause me hot spots like the Sidi shots.

Disappointing - Wides only in full size
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Size Bought:
- 41W
- Height:
- 5' 7"

These seem to be nice shoes and well made. For $450 they should be! Also for $450 I would expect the wide version to be available in half sizes. I tried the shoes on and walked around on the carpet. They felt a little large (long) with a little extra toe room but even this wide version was a bit narrow for me. No amount of tightening would stop the heel slip - a sign that the size is too large. If I went down a full size I know even the wide version would be too narrow. Maybe a half size smaller would fit, but it isn’t offered. I purchased a size 41W, my street shoe size is 7.5. I don’t feel that the Shimano size table is off, just too much of a compromise to offer only full sizes in cycling shoes that demand a precision fit. They do feel comfortable when cinched tight, a good sign of a well made shoe. I can’t comment on ride feel since I’m sending these back and not taking a chance on the full size smaller. Going back to a more familiar brand. My experience - cycling for 34 years. I’ve gone through quite a few high end shoes but these were my first try for Shimano.
