{"product_id":"shimano-sh-rp9-shoes","title":"Shimano SH-RP9 Shoes","description":"\u003cp\u003eSitting atop the Road Performance line is Shimano’s SH-RP9  Cycling Shoes. These kicks have all the performance features Shimano can think  of, and can pretty much go toe to toe with their RC, Road Competition,  offerings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’ve upgraded everything here. They like to start with  the sole, as that’s the point of contact with the pedal, and your foot as well.  They’ve upgraded the material to a light carbon composite, which allows them to  both increase the stiffness, to a 10 on their scale (max is 12), and drop the  weight, down to 224g for a size 42. They’ve also increased the size of the  forward sole vent, enabled the three-bolt cleat plate to slide both fore and  aft, and have marked the sole so you can precisely adjust and set your cleats. They’ve  finished the sole with both toe and heel pads to make walking both safer and  less damaging to the shoes. The heel pad is particularly ample, and makes the  dreaded waddle much less pronounced. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper is made of a single piece of perforated microfiber.  This is a synthetic leather that resists stretching, doesn’t get damaged by  sun, air, or water, dries quickly, and allows your feet to breathe. The rear of  the shoe features a molded, external heel cup, to really anchor your heel in  the shoe. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShimano  utilizes Boa’s IP1 Dial for the upper two segments of the shoe. This dial is  bi-directional—your tighten and loosen it. And the direction of tightening is  mirrored in the left and right shoes. That means one side you’ll tighten  clockwise, the other counter-clockwise, but since they’re on opposite sides of  your feet, you’ll intuitively sense it is the same direction. the IP1 has a  quick-release mechanism built in; you pull the dial up and all the cable  tension disappears. The lower foot has a single hook-and-loop strap for  adjusting the volume of the toe box. For most, this is a set-and-forget strap. you’ll  do it once or twice, and probably leave it after that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  RP9’s fabrics are treated with Silvadur anti-microbial treatment. This will  help keep the shoe looking good and smelling fresh for a long, long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  Shimano SH-RP9 Cycling Shoes weigh 224g for a size 42 shoe. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shimano","offers":[{"title":"39 \/ Black","offer_id":43651282665516,"sku":"ESHRP9PC390SL00","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40 \/ Navy","offer_id":43520424247340,"sku":"ESHRP9PC400SN00","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"39 \/ White","offer_id":44029671079980,"sku":"ESHRP9PC390SW00","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/shimano-sh-rp9-shoes-1986672.jpg?v=1771297514","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/shimano-sh-rp9-shoes","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
