Good, but not quite as good as I would have hoped.
These were high in my expectations to be "the best cycling shoe I have ever owned". In many ways, they met my expectations, with a fantastic heel cup, micro adjustment via the BOA catches and a firm sole.
They have taken 3-4 50km + rides to get "comfortable" however the tongue of these shoes has a VERY annoying tendency to wonder down to the left on my left foot and down to the right on my right foot.
On my last 100km ride I adjusted these 5-6 times. It is now on my list of things to modify - I think some patches of old inner tube impact glued to the tongue may stop it wavering, but not what I would have expected from such pricy shoes.

Superbly comfortable and supportive shoes
These shoes live up to what I've come to expect from Rapha, with one exception - they have the stiffest soles I've come across, extremely supportive uppers and a rock-solid hold on the heel that means you don't have to do up the excellent Boas very tight, so the comfort is fantastic with no hot spots. The exception is that the price is pretty reasonable for this performance, when compared to the top-end Giro/Spesh/Bont offerings. Only downside I can see so far is that the ribbed upper material is not wipe clean as muck can get in the grooves - it's not a huge problem to get clean, but I am glad I didn't go for the white version

Tongue, tongue, tongue
As the title and the rating suggest despite my multi year love affair with Rapha the irritation of the constantly slipping and folding tongue on these shoes is just insane.
It’s a beautifully designed shoe. Simple, with elegant white stripe, two Boa closures, firm heal cup and a sole stiff like a concrete. So much to like, yet after almost 500km I just can’t forgive the constant annoyance of the shoe tongue slipping and folding no matter how carefully or tightly I secure my foot.
A shoe that costs more than €300 simply cannot have such a design flaw. Reading all the other reviews I’m not alone. Should have believed the fellow reviewers. Genuinely considering returning them.

Best Cycling Shoe!
I bought the shoes 3 weeks ago and did not know what to expect as I had never purchased shoes from online. Once they arrived I was immediately impressed with the design and stiffness of the woven material.
The first time that I wore the pro team shoes was on a 3 hour ride with an elevation gain of 1789 meters. Through rain and hail I completely forgot about
my feet although they were soaked. I have never experienced the comfort that these shoes brought me! The entire design was engineered perfectly for the aggressive racer and or casual rider. The shoe is priceless, and I don’t regret paying the price!

Awesome shoes!
These shoes are so far the best I've come across. I race at a fairly high-level and I've tried most of the high-end competitors. Due to skinny duck-shaped feet with pointy pinkies I settled on S-Works 7 for a couple years. However, when these Rapha shoes came out I just had to try them and, well, I was pleasantly surprised. They look narrow but the fabric works like a sock and accomodates my wierdly shaped feet perfectly. Besides the great fit, which I imagine will work just as fell for average shaped feet, the overall impression in terms of quality and stiffness is just as good as any other high-end brand, if not better.

Most everything I was looking for.
I'm somewhat new to cycling, so it was difficult choosing the right shoes.
Luckily, I was able to wear a pair of these before purchasing them. I have oddly shaped feet (high arch, narrow on the inside, angled out on the outside) and these fit my feet very well. The heel is tight and supportive, they offer multiple arch support options, and the plate is incredibly supportive.
The BOA system is great for fit adjustments and applying pressure evenly.
As others have mentioned, I do wish the tongue was a bit more anchored, but to be honest, it doesn't impact my riding at all. I also really like the uppers and the way they feel on the fit.
I would buy another pair of these without question.

Light, comfortable, and very secure
I've only gotten a few rides in with them, but really like them so far. Be sure to use the brand/size comparison: I usually wear a 42, but was steered toward a 41 in these and it's spot on. As other reviews have mentioned, the way the fabric conforms to your foot is really remarkable, and they felt very 'broken in' from the first ride. I live in New England in the US, so they've been hidden under shoe covers every ride but thanks to the bi-directional Boa dials I've been able to fine-tune the fit even through the covers while riding.
The shoes are incredibly light; noticeably more so than my Sidi Wires. Put in a 5ºC 4hr ride yesterday and they felt great from start to finish.

So good I've bought two pairs
finally my search is over, after trying seemingly every shoe imaginable I've found some that fit me like the proverbial glove. From the moment these came out the box I knew they were right, they hug the feet but there are zero hot spots, the carbon sole is super stiff, the dual boa fastening is superb and the shoe seems to breathe really well too. Since swapping to these I've noticed better power delivery but best of all these are all day comfortable and they look fantastic on, they're so good in fact that I've got the white ones for summer and the orange ones for spring/autumn!

Hi, the actual size of my foot is 270mm wide and 110mm wide, but the top of my foot is also high, so what size should I buy
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out to us with your question about the Pro Team Shoes. Based on the measurements you provided, it seems like you have wide and high feet. For this type of foot shape, it is recommended to go for a size that accommodates both the width and height of your foot. In this case, you may want to consider going for a size that is slightly larger than your actual foot measurements to ensure a comfortable fit. Additionally, we also recommend trying on the shoes in person, if possible, to see how they feel and fit before making a purchase. If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, please feel free to ask! We're here to help.

Hi I wear a size 43 in a Shimano RPS shoe and 42.5 in Fizik Tempo shoe what size should get in the Rapha shoe. Also, are shoes compatible with look cleats? Thanks
Thank you for reaching out with your question about the Rapha Pro Team Shoes. It's great to hear that you're interested in our products! Based on the sizes you provided for the Shimano RPS and Fizik Tempo shoes, we recommend trying a size 43 in the Rapha shoe for the best fit. As for compatibility with Look cleats, our shoes are indeed compatible with Look cleats, so you can use them without any issues.

Is it recommended to keep the sticker on the bottom of the shoe that cover the bolt holes on or off? It is obviously on there for some reason. Keep debris out during manufacturing? Better cleat contact to the carbon sole?
The protective sticker should be removed prior to fitting cleats; this is in place to afford a degree of protection while in production and transit.

The bolts that come with the shoes should work but we would need to know the exact model of the pedal to be sure.

What is the width of the soles of sizes 43.5 and 44? I worry that both shoes are narrow that is typical of most cycling shoes.
The widths of these shoes are as follows.
Size 44: 93.5MM
Size 43.5: 91.7MM

Can speedplay Pedals be used ?
Yes, but they will require the proper speedplay 3 bolt adapter. These shoes will not work with 4 bolt cleats.

So if this is my first pair of shoes, ever, what would fit me. To give you some context. I'm a 44 in my New Balance and Nike sneakers. And most other sneakers. My Adidas Boston 11 running shoes are a 44 2/3. What size should i try first? :)
We recommend trying a size 44 in these shoes to start with.
