New S-Phyres - rc902
Moderator: robbosmans
Anyone had a pre full release go with these yet?
Very interested to hear how they size up, feel etc...
Liked the 901, but the toe box was a bit narrow and this seems to have been changed.
The shoes are still probably on the narrow side though I imagine?

From their softgoods manager which might be helpful:
The RC902 toe box profile has changed slightly, a little less pointy than the RC900/RC901. We made this change to accommodate a broader range of foot shapes, specifically feet where the middle toe is the longest. The overall Volume fit did not change, but note that the RC902 features a more elastic mesh material to improve comfort for feet that are borderline of standard and wide sizing.

I am in the 'second toe longer than big toe' camp myself!
That's what I think. But it's not that hard, is it? Grab a tape, measure it, put it on an excel table and that's it. I guess one person can do that in 1 hour of work. It does not seem that hard really.
Pointy toeboxes are pointless in cycling shoes, yet many companies still keep doing it. Only adds to discomfort and potential for injuries. The parts that cyclists want to be more or less tight are on the MTTJ and proximally. Toeboxes can be designed anatomically with no loss.

Can destroy your toes as well.

I am in the second toe camp too and hearing about the change in the 902 sounds promising.
I have tried size 44.5 wide and it should be considered regular width when comparing to S-Works 7 44.5 wide and Lake CX241 44.5 wide and CX1C 44.5 wide.
The toe box volume is also quite limited. The shop says that the wide version is only 2mm wider than regular size.

Did you measure length? In comparison with Spesh Shimano may be sized up by half or one size.jlok wrote: ↑Sun Oct 04, 2020 4:30 pmI have tried size 44.5 wide and it should be considered regular width when comparing to S-Works 7 44.5 wide and Lake CX241 44.5 wide and CX1C 44.5 wide.

They are similar length wise.akaspin wrote: ↑Sun Oct 04, 2020 5:27 pmDid you measure length?

I have double e wide feet and I have almost tried all wide shoes on the market... the unrelated sad thing about my wide feet is that the widest points don't match any shoe on the market. The S-Works 7 is close but still a bit too forward. Im going to buy full custom now.

My feet is 280x102 mm (box) with longest big toe. I'm also using latest Spesh last (S-Works Vent 44.5). This shoes works but I want to try something new. Custom is nice. But I can't found anything in Europe.jlok wrote: ↑Sun Oct 04, 2020 5:35 pmThey are similar length wise.akaspin wrote: ↑Sun Oct 04, 2020 5:27 pmDid you measure length?

Did you try the new one? I recently had the 901 in 45 wide and it was a disappointment. It seemed tighter than the old sh321 in regular....jlok wrote: ↑Sun Oct 04, 2020 4:30 pmI have tried size 44.5 wide and it should be considered regular width when comparing to S-Works 7 44.5 wide and Lake CX241 44.5 wide and CX1C 44.5 wide.
