Stiff shoe. Wide toe box. Good value. A little heavier than my other shoes but not a deal breaker

Very comfortable and good fit. Was concerned they might be too narrow for my feet, but they’re bang on. Really impressed after a few rides so far.

sizes of Van Rysel RCR Road Cycling Shoes
Koler

Are you planning to buy half sizes of Van Rysel RCR Road Cycling Shoes? Great shoes! I ordered size 42 (insoles 26.5 cm) and 43 (insoles 27.5 cm). 42 is too small, and 43 is too big. If it were 42.5 (27cm width), it would be perfect. Cycling shoes must be perfectly fitted, and
many people would like them.

Very Disappointed with the returns policy

Bought these because of the other good reviews went into store and they felt good on my feet. I took them home looking forward to get out and cycle! This is where the but comes in went on the indoor trainer as I was thinking they haven’t been outside and therefore if they star
t to feel off I could return them. How wrong was I the top of the shoe started to rub quite badly on the inside of my ankle to a point where I felt these aren’t for me. I went back into store to ask to return them however this was declined as the shoe showed some signs of wear on them and they said that because it’s an expensive product they couldn’t take it back! Exactly it is an expensive product and therefore I wasn’t happy. I am now down £169.99 with a pair of shoes I dislike. Very much disappointed with the policy of return of the shoes. These shoes do look great and it’s such a shame as I really like them but what’s let me down is the return policy as it was with Van Rysel independent shop not decathlon they had the last say. They may work out for you but be careful if you want to purchase and return them!

Amazing value cycling shoes

I am quite shocked at the price of this shoe. Compared to the competitors it’s hard to complain. Stiff carbon composite sole, double boa closure and seem to be made to actually fit true to size (eu 41). I have tried many other shoes (dmt , specialized etc) but these are wide e
nough to fit normal feet. Pro’s must have pixie feet as none of their shoes fit me. They were a bit stiff to begin with but soften up after a few 100km. Did a 70km ride today in them and no hotspots or rubbing. It’s easy to over-tighten around the tongue but once loosened off no issues or slipping of the sole. Maybe not the most breathable but for uk weather they are fine !

Très bonnes chaussures

Très bonnes chaussures de vélo avec un look top et une finition de belle qualité. La rigidité de la semelle est excellente, le système double boa parfait. À noter qu’elles taillent grand (rare dans les chaussures vélo concurrentes). Seul bémol, la languette du dessus est un p
eu rigide et peut gêner au confort si on serre trop le boa du haut. Le rapport qualité prix est imbattable.

Maintenant 1 mois que je porte ces chaussures en 43. Deux courses et une sortie de 6 h, aucunes douleurs, aucun gènes, juste du plaisir. J’ai mis un peu de temps à m’habituer à la semelle carbone ultra rigide (le pied est cloué à la pédale!) Je vous les recommande pour un usag
e de compétition (car je pense que des semelles nylon sont plus confortables mais vraiment moins performantes). Vraiment satisfaisant du prix par rapport aux autres grandes marques. Jamais testé de s-works ou nimbl mais ces chaussures font vraiment un taff de ouf
