According to the product specialist
Pros
| The full-carbon insert on the sole provides excellent power transfer. |
| The shoe moulds itself to the arch of the foot for excellent support. |
| Sturdy upper to improve performance. |
| Minimal risk of overheating feet, thanks to the mesh inserts. |
| The asymmetric wire distributes pressure evenly across the instep. |
| The perforated synthetic leather creates a great fit and breathability. |
| This cycling shoe can be adjusted quickly and precisely with the BOA® L6 dial closure. |
| The nylon sole is reinforced with fibreglass, which ensures better power transfer. |
| The integrated seamless midsole gives the RC300 more stability. |
| Shimano's Surround Wrapping provides a comfortable and improved fit. |
| The BOA L6 dial allows for quick and precise adjustments of the fit. |
| The mesh material on the upper increases the shoe's breathability. |
| The nylon sole is reinforced with carbon to ensure more effective power transfer. |
| This shoe offers stability for enhanced comfort and power transfer. |
| Excellent fit due to the new X-Dial SLW3 fastening mechanism. |
| The NRG Air Carbon sole offers both comfort and good power transfer. |
| The AirFlow system provides an ideal airflow along the bottom of the shoe. |
| Thanks to the Unibody construction, there are no pressure points on the foot. |
| The ventilation holes across the shoe ensure good breathability. |
Cons
| Two dial closures would have made the fit even more precise. |
| Because of the good breathability you need an overshoe in the winter. |
| Although the nylon sole has been reinforced with fibreglass it is still not as stiff as a full carbon sole. |
| While the nylon sole is reinforced with carbon, the power transfer of a full carbon sole is even better. |
| With a full carbon sole, the power transfer to the pedals is even better than with this sole. |
| In order to use the shoe with SPD pedals, you will need a separate adapter. This does not come with the shoes as standard. |
