New S-Phyres - rc902

[ryanw]

How's the sizing on these? I wear a US 10 in most shoes and my foot length is 280mm. Shimano's chart is showing a size 44.5 for me. Is that chart accurate?

No, I would say you are looking at a 46 minimum depending on the rest of your foot shape. I have very similar length (slightly shorter) anything less would have been bad.

46?? That sounds huge. You sure? What is your sneaker size?

Trainers UK 10/10.5.

Foot length 278mm.

Depends on your feet, any problems and if they swell alot or not as well.

I wear a UK11 Nike (US12) and have size 46 902s. Fit is great, for me, but a tiny bit wider would have made them 10/10 rather than 9/10.

I ordered a 45. My Mavics are 44 2/3, US 10.5 and they fit me well. Let's see.

My regular LBS is giving me a good price for a pair of RC902. The problem is they don't have a pair in my size for me to try.
I wear a pair of RC7 in EU40 wide fit. I'm thinking of going for the standard fit this time round but worry that it might be too snug from the reviews I read in this thread. I looked at Shimano's site and it doesn't provide a chart on the width but instead it goes by percentage increase of overall shoes volume. Hope to get some inputs from you guys.

I'm also looking at S-works 7, (EU40 standard fits nicely) but seems like stocks aren't replenished now. Are they focusing on the variants or is a S-works 8 coming?

My measurements for reference:
Length: 249mm
Width: 99mm

RC701 in even regular are like boats compared to RC902.

RC701 is my go to 'comfy' shoe, even though the soles are not as good as the higher end shoes.

Wow really?

Agree with you on the comfort. RC701 is my 2nd pair of shoes and the only pair that I have been wearing for more than 2 years. Thinking of upgrading.

My main issue with the 902, is that the toe box is such an aggressive taper, the midfoot is nice and snug and with your width, you should be ok there, it's just that it you do not have a very specific toe shape and it you have any sort of '6th metatarsal', you will almost certainly be feeling it!!

Oh we have the same size feet. My LBS just ran out of 46 wide, last pair is 47. I think this will make it too long for me.

Hope I can find a 46 wide soon. my RX8 is 46 (Fizik and SIDI i'm 46 as well) and Shimano is indeed a little narrow compared to the other 2 brands

267mm foot length and about 110mm wide, size 43 wide seems like a good fit for me so far. Averaged 300 watts for just over 2 hours yesterday with no foot issues

Probably 44.5 or 45 depending how tight or loose you like your shoes. My foot is about 282mm and I have size 45 but only with thin summer socks, thicker socks I would have to go up 1/2 a size.

Thanks! This makes me feel a little better about going with a 45, I prefer looser at the front.

300 watts + for over 2 hours is pretty darn good (unless of course you are a bigger rider, then not quite so good)! Especially on the road, where it's hard to keep it constant with rolling terrain and junctions etc...

Racing on a course with traffic control makes it a bit easier

Oh yeah, that is helpful to keep the power up!!

280mm foot and US/10 doesn't really match up. 280mm last does. With a 280mm foot, you should be starting with EU/45 minimum and possibly even look at EU/45.5

That's interesting. My foot is just over 270 and around 100 wide and I felt like a needed the wide fit in 43 as the standard was too narrow. Just shows you really need to be able to try them on
