All day comfort with race day performance
Bare none the best mountain shoe I have ever worn. This shoe is near perfection. Snug fit in the heel through midsole with a bit more room in the toe box without feeling remotely sloppy. The materials, finish, and overall aesthetic are the cherry on top! Thank you, Rapha!

Solid little shoe.
Overall great shoe, comfortable, stiff and great style. I will say it's either the fit on my foot or the fabric of the upper but I find myself needing to adjust and re tighten more often than I would on some of my other shoes. Still a great shoe and would recommend.

A very good shoe. First pair were too small - I based sizing on direct measurement of foot length. Return was seamless, and a half size up fixed the problem. Comfort is great, though note that the shoe is cut high on the instep, so rubs slightly on my medial foot.

I love everything that is made by Rapha!!!!
Lovely design and excellent quality. Love the color and the fact that has a thicker bottom shows that whoever designed this shoes really knows what a real cyclist need!I wore them all day long the first time and I got a blister, that why I only give them 4 star

Comfy shoes with great adjustability
Very comfortable shoes, squishy sole and great looks. Great for summer riding, keeping cool feet. Only drawback is the dyneema thread in the boa not sliding smoothly in the eye laces, meaning that I need to tighten the bias a few times during a ride.

Great buy
Very happy with my new shoes. Use them for my gravel rides. I took half a sizer bigger than my normal shoe size, enough room in the toe box. Light shoe, the BOA system is really easy to adjust. A 4 instead of the price, it is quite an expensive shoe

Excellent cycle touring shoes.
I use these shoes for general riding and cycle touring. They are extremely comfortable, having enough flex to walk in but also stiff enough to put power down for rides that I do, which are not races.
As well as comfortable, they also breath well.

My Feet are happy
Nice comfy shoe - wore the on unbound 200. No hot spots Feet felt good at finish. Dried out as good as others. Definitely easier to walk in than Sidi / Shimano. Soaked mud in soapy bucket then spray and wash in machine. Look like new. I like them

Best shoe I’ve used (prior shoes have been sidis)
Pros: Efficient pedaling shoe, extremely comfortable fit and design, rapid boa cinching, looks great, and very light for a gravel/trail shoe.
Cons: left shoe is squeaky under load. Can’t seem to adjust that … maybe the plate having some play.

Explore powerweave shoe
Only had these for a couple of months and used them on a few rides, so far I am very pleased with them in terms of comfort on and off the bike and off the bike, I had to go one size up from what I normally wear to get a good fit.

A great top class shoe
A great top class shoe, which looks amazing as well. The 2 BOA's and their straps are brilliant, although the fitting is very snug, so you will want to go up half a size. Unlike others, I have not found the sole to be too flexible.

Run small.
They run small and didn’t fit, so I returned them. I can’t really rate the shoes, but also could not leave a review without a rating. Many said they are true to size - I don’t think that is right. I’d order at least 1/2 size up.

A little narrow.
A really nice looking shoe, not to stiff, probably best for bike packing etc, would prefer stiffer shoes for competition.
A little narrow and small in sizes, so if you have a wide foot, maybe go a size up, or a different model.

Get them .
Rapha Rocks! What more can you say. Each and every item they make fits like a glove and performs exactly like it is meant to. Gorgeous shoes to look at and comfortable to wear on long rides. Got them when they were 25 % off.

Much easier to walk in
Good shoes, wish they came in a wide, comfortable on and off the bike. Little struggle with the small tongue. But getting more comfortable with them. Much easier to walk around in then my other bike shoes.

Amazing gravel shoes
I absolutely love these gravel shoes. They are very comfortable, light weight, breathable, super traction when walking, easy to brush off dirt and they look good too. I can highly recommend these shoes.

Great shoe for serious enthusiast and racers
Great shoe, love the comfort adjustments with the boa system. I also have the standard explore shoe for reference and these cause less foot discomfort for me on longer rides/races over 5 hrs.

Great shoes
The shoes are very stiff and comfortable. I use them for cycle cross and MTB. They are great to adjust in width with the BOA-System.
Would recommend to order one size bigger than usual size.

Beautiful but uncomfortable
Beautiful, sturdy shoe. Good grip when walking in muddy or wet areas. The tongue is a bit hard and cuts in to my foot though. For this price I would have hoped for it to be more comfortable.

Great attention to detail!
Shoes are awesome. Rapha spent a lot of time on detail which is noticable in the shoe. Stiff yet compliant and just look awesome. The shoes are actually better than what I expected.

Gravel Shoes
Great shoes for gravel. Fits like a glove and easy to clean use with some water. Ride through streams and shoes get soaked but dry quickly. Couldn’t be happier with these shoes.

Quality Shoes
Very well made shoe, enough room in the toe box for me and love the green colour. Normally wear 43 in regular shoes and as usual in bike shoes sized up to 43.5 for a perfect fit.

Best ever shoes
Best ever shoes I have had. Wide enough because I took one size bigger than I normally use. Elastic side structure is very good for my right feet bunion. Still a quite expensive.

Pricey…but you know you want them
Great fit with the Boa Closure system. Love the look! They are not hot on the trail or gravel rides. Stay in place during hike-a-bike sections, with good traction. Quick to dry.

A true winner
One of the best cycling shoes you can get. Comfortable on long rides and stylish. As for all Rapha products, it is a good idea to get a size up, mainly for the narrow width.

I want another pair...
These shoes are super comfortable. Seriously comfortable. I am using them with my mtb. They stay clean and the boa makes it easy to adjust on the trail. Highly recommend!!

A bit tight
Just tested in two rides. Stiff and cool. But toes not really full comfortably fit. I will use them more for my final judge. Consider always half size more when you buy.

Expensive but worth it
Super comfortable. I ordered a half size up - fit like a glove. Just back from 2 weeks gravel biking trip to Chile - completely satisfied with these shoes.

Best MTB/Gravel Shoe
This shoe fits better than any MTB/Gravel shoes I have ever owned. Didn’t know how bad the others were until bought these. Makes riding so much more fun!
