Cycling is a booming sport. However, hobby cyclists often face the choice between the benefits of road racing shoes – stiffness, pedaling efficiency, aerodynamics – and the walking comfort offered by shoes with the SPD system due to the smaller and sunk cleats. With Shimano’s Road Touring series these benefits are combined in one shoe. Showing the classic look of road racing shoes – in a modern, stylish black-yellow design, the high-end model Shimano SH-RT82 features a glass fiber reinforced polyamide midsole plate offering stiffness and efficiency. At the same time the recessed cleat rubber outsole guarantees safety and comfort while walking.
