Stay away if you have wide or if your feet swell a lot. Probably will sell mind and go back to my Bonts.TobinHatesYou wrote:
The RC902 is quite narrow/tapered in the forefoot. My observations from another thread.
Also you are a 43.5 in Shimano IMO. The last on a EU43 Shimano is 272mm...so it’s only 5mm longer than your foot. Thick socks, fluctuations in body comp, swelling on hot days or at the end of the day would make those shoes very, very tight.TobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 5:59 am
Here is my comparison between a 44.5 RC902 and 44 Ares, both regular.
RC902 is a touch longer despite being listed as 1mm shorter (282mm vs 283mm.)
RC902 has a narrower, more tapered toebox.
RC902 has a taller toebox.
Both shoes have plenty of midfoot adjustability.
Ares does a better job locking the heel in place without ratcheting down the upper Boa dial.
Ares wins for “general” comfort. The sock-like liner and open-wrap construction ensure this.
Ares has a more pronounced arch, which may feel even more pronounced with custom orthotics.
Ares has a 1.5 varus wedge integrated into the forefoot.
RC902 weights: left shoe 242g, right shoe 238g, left footbed 21g, right footbed 20g
Ares weights: left shoe 248g, right shoe 249g, left footbed 11g, right footbed 11g
