Shimano R086 Cycling Shoes are fully-featured sports shoes that are ideal for club racing and recreational use, with an RRP of ?79.99. They have reflective detail on the heel, the upper is stretch resistant synthetic texture, therefore it ensures a breathable and durable shoe with an exceptional fit. The outer sole is fibreglass reinforced nylon, which gives an excellent mixture of rigidity and compliance for club and sport riders. Plus the shoes have air holes for ventilation, buckle closure and two offset hook and loop straps. The cleat compatibility is SPD-SL style 3 bolt and SPD style 2-bolt. These are truly good shoes for a very keen price, on the other hand the vent at the front means they could be very chilly throughout autumn/winter. With these shoes you have to go one size up from what you would usually take, but if you stick with this practice you should find the shoes immensely comfortable and a fab snug fit with the ratchet tightening system. Not long ago I bought these shoes and have just finished a 60 mile sportive with no problems at all. I found them to be very comfortable and practical. I genuinely can't find many fault with these shoes so far. I upgraded from a three strap velcro shoe and these are a tremendous development on the others. As mentioned in the past the ventilation is very good, from the hole on the bottom of the shoe, round an inch in front of the cleat. Yet, on the cold Winter days you may want to block it up, as it is just too cold, a small scrap of foam covered with electrical tape is all it needs, keeps the water out too.The parts of the sole that you walk on are coated by a little rubber which makes walking a load more comfortable, less liable to slipping and less "clip clop". They look good, but a single ride in the rain will leave them looking a little dull, therefore if you want them to stay brilliant white you'll need to brush them a little. Overall, a big thumbs up for the shimano R086 cycling shoes, a functional, value for money pair of road shoes. This information was supplied by ShimanoCyclingShoes.org.
