Shimano S-PHYRE XC9 (XC903) MTB Cycling Shoes - Black (45 wide) Size:

Shimano's Flagship Off-Road Race Shoe The Shimano S-PHYRE XC9 (XC903) sits at the top of Shimano's off-road range and represents the most advanced cross-country, marathon and cyclocross race shoe the brand produces. Every element from the dual BOA Li2 closure to the carbon composite sole and surround-wrap upper is engineered to deliver the precision, stiffness and weight-saving demanded at the highest level of competition. The understated black colourway gives the XC903 a clean, race-ready aesthetic that pairs with any team kit or personal palette, and the construction reflects feedback from Shimano's sponsored World Cup and World Championship athletes. Sizing: Please Size Up In the experience of the Fawkes Cycles team, the S-PHYRE XC9 (XC903) comes up small compared with riders' usual Shimano shoe size. The wraparound upper construction and racing-focused last fit closer to the foot than the brand's mid-tier and entry-level shoes, and most customers find they need to go up half a size
