ShimanoMen's SH-RC903 WIDE S-Phyre Road Shoe (Return to Product Page)

I am a Sidi guy, but have a wide forefoot and the latest Sidis have just been too narrow for me. I have a lot of other Shimano products and tried this on in the shop - wow! I got it in the wide version for the fit, which is excellent in front and it still has a nice tight heel cup. Sizing is accurate (9 = 43). The closure system is one of the best I have used with even tension everywhere and great comfort. Fully tightened down, it is like the shoe is not even there. I am a fan of white shoes, but I like some accent colors. The white S-Phyre is really, really white - I am hoping the hospital look goes away after some wear and a few wet rides.

All in all really pleased with the shoe, and happy to have found it on sale through BTD!

I've owned multiple Shimano, Specialized s-works, Lake and Quoc bike shoes. I really didn't think anything could top the older s-phyre I had in fit and aesthetics. After having these for about a month I do believe Shimano did an outstanding job on the 903. Hands down my favorite cycling shoe ever with great power transfer and ZERO hotspots, which is really rare for my odd shaped feet (Have a wide toe box plus the outside/anterior joints that protrude outwards). Very happy my need was timed with the latest model release, not the least of which is due to the all white color way (no black or champagne colored heel). Only thing up for longer term debate is the fabric on the middle of the toe area and how clean it will keep. The prior model did not have this, but I can definitely say these are more breathable for it!

Everybody's feet are a bit different, so commenting on fit probably isn't that helpful. However, for me, the fit is great and the extra room in the toe box seems to have helped my occasional "hot foot." I don't have wide feet, so I was a bit worried that they would be too wide. They aren't. The extra width isn't very much, but it worked for me. The heel is snug and the ventilation is excellent. Pricey for sure, but the quality is there and they should last a long time.

Very comfortable. Came with two different inserts (unexpected). Used the high arch support. I was worried about the fit. I have an 8 1/2 shoe size and was worried that the 42 would be too big. This shoe fits smaller than others at the same EU size.

Very happy with the new Shimano RC903 shoe. Ordered a regular size 46, but it was a little snug. Exchanged them for 46 wide and they fit perfect. Have about 600 miles of riding them and cannot find anything negative except the price. BTD made exchange hassle free and no charge.

I've had to go through a run of bike shoes and finally spent the money on these. They are the most comfortable shoes I've owned - and one of the most comfortable shoes I've owned, full stop.

The wide size fits my foot perfectly. The shoe is otherwise true to size.

Very lightweight, good ventilation and ultra stiff, but not uncomfortable.

The heel retention is incredible - yet somehow no discomfort or chafing. A great design.

The price is high, but commensurate with other high end shoes out there.

Brilliant shoes, highly recommended.

I have a Wide foot, so my options are limited. Wider than regular, but not silly wide like some brands. Similar to my Specialized W MTB shoes. Quality seems pretty stellar and I expect I'll have these for a long time!

Great purchase. BTD, shipped quickly. The shoes are very light. They fit me great. 8 1/2 wide fits into the 42 wide shoe. Feet stay cool, so far. No slipping in the shoe, the BOA fasteners are excellent. At least 500 miles on these, looking forward to many miles with comfort for my feet
