Shimano has made shoes for years, all with a promise of quality materials, accommodating fit, and typical Japanese sensibility to it's design. Typically, their shoes have been the definition of form over function, leading people to choose better-looking shoes even if they didn't fit as well. No longer with the new Shimano S-Phyre SH-RC901 Road Shoe, which combines typical Shimano fit and quality with top-level performance and good looks.
