Why We Like The Shimano XC902 S-PHYRE Cycling Shoe
If you glance at the starting line cyclocross or cross-country race, you'll most likely notice the Shimano XC902 Cycling Shoes on the riders' feet, and for good reason, too. When we get a pair of these shoes in our hands, or better yet, on our feet, we experience that world-class fit, low weight, and efficiency that the pros count on to earn a paycheck. Shimano constructs the XC902 with a one-piece, reinforced synthetic upper with numerous perforations allow the feet to breathe. Dialing in the fit comes courtesy of the dual Boa Li2 dials, offering independent and micro-adjustable tension across the top of the foot.
On the rear of the shoe, Shimano uses an external cup that covers the carbon sole and the back of the heel. This design supports the heel, preventing twisting and rolling, stabilizing it for more efficiency. A gripping fabric inside the shoe further bolsters the foothold, providing a solid foundation for dishing out the big watts at the race start and on the pedaling upstroke while maintaining traction on a slippery surface.

Will be returning. Been wearing 45.5 in Shimano for abour 8 years, can't find this shoe in 45.5 in the US anymore. Ordered 46. Fit was suprisingly comfortable in the toe box but noticeably too long and too loose in the heel. Wary of going down to a 45, wondering if the 45Wide is wider in the heel as well or just in the toe box, sadly companies don't seem to disclose too much about their last. Sole feels really soft and grippy which would be nice for CX in cold muddy terrain or wet rocks but don't expect to get away with these as multi-purpose shoes or the sole will wear too fast. Fit is actually true to size, if you know how a "race" last or have any experience with correctly fit shoes, buy your running shoe size (I wear an 11 in running shoes). I run these larger than my alpine and nordic ski boots which I wear 28.5 and 45 respectively. But going to a 46 was too much.
