According to the product specialist
Pros
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. |
The Powerstrap velcro closure wraps around the foot like a ribbon, offering an excellent fit and very high wearing comfort. |
The R5 nylon outsole is reinforced with carbon, for the perfect balance between comfort and performance. |
The NRG Air Carbon sole combines comfort and optimal power transfer. |
The Unibody construction prevents pressure points on the foot. |
The shoe's ventilation holes offer good breathability. |
The AirFlow system ensures ideal airflow along the sole. |
Cons
Although the nylon sole has been reinforced with fibreglass it is still not as stiff as a full carbon sole. |
The power transfer to the pedals is not as good as that of a shoe with a full carbon sole. |
The power transmission of the sole is not as optimal as with a full carbon sole. |
The closure of the shoe consists entirely of Velcro straps, which do not close as well when dirty. |
