Comfortable on mid-range rides (30-60 miles). These feel more supportive than SPD shoes I previously had, although that might be more of a comment on the switch to SPD-SL cleats. The shoe also drains well, which is a big plus for winter/spring riding in WA.

I have used these for racing and casual cycling for around 750 miles. So far they are in great condition with only minor scuffs from my own mistakes. the BOA lets it fit very comfortably throughout the upper and allows for quick tightening/release. These are a great addition for any road biking activity and have held up great so far. There is an under side vent that has been amazing for cooling my feet off on hot summer days and have added a lot of power to my peddling. Looking forward to many more miles with these and my speedplay comp pedals.

Excellent shoes! The RC5s are easy to put on and take off. They feel like gloves yet have the proper fit to transfer power efficiently. For those of us who are not professional racers but like biking hard we cannot ask for a better shoe,

Works perfect with my SPD pedals. They look great, they feel even better. Very easy to tighten and remove. I do tend to get numb on the outside of my foot after 25 miles or so, but that may be just the way I have been riding in them. I love these shoes either way!If you ride in sub-50º weather, get a shoe cover or toe warmer. These can get VERY cold, especially with the air vent on the bottom.
The shoe's sole is good and stiff for power transfer. I have a narrow foot and as such these shoes, having only one BOA dial, I was not able to get the front of the shoe tight enough. The result was calluses on the balls of my feet right where they made contact with the pedal. After battling that for some time (they were painful they were so thick) I bought the Shimano RC7. They have two BOA dials per shoe and I am able to get the shoe to fit much tighter. I also found the shoe to be more difficult to get on than other shoes I have owned due to the upper thickness.
Good shoe that gets the job done out of the box. Though this may not be a top of line product when considering Shimano's shoes, they work. They run narrow so would recommend a wide. They pair perfectly with speedplay pedals and cleats.
This shoe replaced on that I had used for over 10 years and recently used on a 3,762 mile tour across the country. Those shoes were worn out but I was nervous about replacing them. The Shimano RC3 shoes are a perfect fit. Literally, I had a smaller shoe size and had to order these online. When they arrived and I put them on, I knew these were the ones. Having used them for a couple of months on the training, I’m only enjoying them more. The RC3 shoes are a solid shoe that I expect to get many years of wear from.
Comfortable shoes, well made. Soft upper fits like a glove, with enough room in toe box to wiggle toes up and down. Heel area a little loose, but doesn’t affect performance. Bottom sole rigid enough for putting down torque off the saddle. Never felt fatigued during morning group rides, around 4 hours long. Very happy with these shoes for its intended purpose. Great value thanks to REI's price adjustment policy.
