The Details
Shimano's RC500 is a lightweight, performance road shoe. It has a surround wrapping upper structure that not only provides a glove-like fit but also reduces toe overlap. The fit is also women-specific to create a more natural and comfortable fit. The sole and upper construction set a new level of fit, stability, rigidity and lightweight performance, whilst the mesh/TPU/synthetic leather composite upper provides a comfortable fit and better breathability.
The shoe is designed with performance in mind as the low stack height helps stabilise the foot, maximising power transfer and efficiency and the light carbon fibre sole that is reinforced with nylon provides amazing power transfer.
Our Verdict
A high-performance women's road shoe that is packed full of features to help you ride faster whilst being at a good price.
Industry Reviews

Stiff, light, cool and comfortable – if a bit of a faff to get fitted.

A great looking shoe with all the tech features and hallmarks of a far more expensive model, with almost as good performance. The slightly fiddly tongue is the only real fault..
