Description

The RCC Classic Shoe was designed from the ground up to be the most comfortable choice for road cycling, with signature pink detailing to match the rest of your club kit.

Previously, exposed carbon soles were slippy and prone to damage. Our strong, light carbon sole transfers power when pedalling, but come complete with a robust TPU coating that protects your shoes and reduces the chances of slipping when you’re off the bike.

The heel hugs your foot, keeping the shoe securely and comfortably in place, on and off the bike, with a low-cut upper that avoids rubbing your ankles. The midfoot is hugely adjustable thanks to a unique double-wall lacing system, with durable eyelets integrated in the shoe’s upper and robust laces, for a secure fit that’s tailored to your foot. Adjustable arch support allows for a range of foot shapes, giving more complete control of the pedals, and plenty of toe box volume means all-day comfort when riding.

Ridden for thousands of kilometres in testing this shoe is the final word in comfort. Lace up a classic.

Story behind the design.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from The most comfortable shoes - not the stiffest I'm gonna make this short: Claims are true, they are super comfortable - from day one. People are hating about the lacing but I've not had issues with it at all and I've ridding boa, velcro and lacing. Velcro is actually the worst. Boa and laces both work well. I've a bunch of S-Works shoes and they're all more stiff. With these you can feel the pressure from the cleat on your foot - but it also makes them a lot more walkable. If you're a die hard racer - you're not gonna like that. If you're doing your long Saturday RCC ride you'll love them. Also note that the pricing is mid range. So no brand will give you the stiffest sole possible at this price point. Weight is also a little bit high but same applies as for stiffness.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very comfortable I have an embarrassing amount of cycling shoes as over time they all seem to bother my feet. I have never had a pair of serious road shoes that are this responsive AND comfortable from the get-go.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great fit I've been moving more toward lace-up cycling shoes for a while due to the ability to dial the fit. Options for high performance road shoes with lace closure has been pretty limited outside of Giro. The Rapha Classic shoes have enough stiffness for hard efforts while giving enough toe box volume to be comfortable for all day riding. These have become my go-to road shoe.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfortable right from the first ride These are cool looking shoes that are very comfortable and love the old school lace up option. Lots of stiffness in the sole.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cycling slippers I bought these a couple of weeks ago, having worn the heel block out on my other well known shoes, these are perfect for me light comfortable and have a rubber mounted around the heel-and sole. Love the contrasting black and hivis pink band around the toes and the RCC logo on the heel arch. Very pleased with my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good value Good value shoes. Not in the same league as expensive pro shoes but very comfortable and well fitted. I was 46.5 in climbers shoes and 46 fit well here. Quite heavy compared with climbers. I'd say these were good for long distance but not in very warm conditions as I doubt they'll breathe too well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great fit and very comfortable the 2nd time I wore the RCC Classic Shoes I decided to try them on a long climb. they felt very comfortable and even though I'm not to set on the laces, the pressure points are very balanced. they also look sweet, especially using the pink laces

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rapha Classic Cycling Shoes (RCC) Pros: Comfort, design, improvement on the Giro ACC, retro specs. Rapha Classic Shoes offer incredible and outstanding comfort (in and out of the saddle) and performance. The power transfer is incredible especially when performing intervals.

I wanted to get the RC classic shoes but I am hesitant as I don't know my real size. My size in regular nike running shoes is in between 10.5 and 11. please advise what size should I get. thank you

Asked by: indio
The Classic shoes are true to size and there is no specific reason on that model to downsize or upsize. We would recommend to opt for the size 45.5. Please note we have an easy return exchange policy that will allow you to exchange id required. https://www.rapha.cc/us/en_US/returns

Recommendations for cleaning these shoes? 

Asked by: LeeK
Hi. You can use warm soapy water and a cloth. Wet wipes can also be used for light cleaning.

The previous climber size 46.5 fitted me perfectly. Which size of the classics will fit perfectly now there is no half size?

Asked by: Duffnote
I would stick with a 46, since it will be a similar last lengthwise. a 47 would give too much room.
