Shimano 2013 Men's Pro Tour Racing Custom-Fit Road Cycling Shoes - SH-R320 (White - 46)
Product Description
It's a rarity that one shoe can combine comfort with rigidity. After all, by definition, the two are at odds with each other. However, not every shoemaker has the pedigree or the ambition to innovate that Shimano does. And for its latest top-tier offering, the SH-R320 Shoes, Shimano pushed past the limits of comprehension. The ideology was simple: redefine drivetrain efficiency at its initial source, the feet. And with heat-moldable insoles, customizable uppers, carbon fiber outsoles, and the new Dynalast technology, the SH-R320 achieved Shimano's goal with power, poise, and ease. So, you probably asking yourself how the R320 has outpaced the already venerable SH-R315? Well, Shimano's newly developed Dynalast technology played an integral role in this achievement of placing 'power to the pedal.' With a unidirectional carbon fiber weave, this outsole increases efficiency while still allowing a calculated level of flex. This is possible due to the sole's variable stiffness and density that accommodates the movements of the arch. But, if you're an R315 owner, this is probably all sounding familiar. But, new to Dynalast is something that you don't have, a hollow channeled carbon outsole. This design is multifunctional -- increasing surface area, heightening rigidity, and concurrently, decreasing weight. Dynalast has also helped to redesign the heel cup of the R320. Now, it features a carbon reinforced, nylon monocoque cup that contributes to an increased level of stability, while also strengthening the shoe's hold on the foot. This is essential, as most pedal efficiency is lost from heel slippage. However, through the combination of the increased outsole stiffness and the newly secured heel cup, when compared to its nearest competitor, Shimano claims that the R320 experiences a 5% reduction in lost pedal efficiency. In more tangible terms, this equates to five seconds of gains over 25 kilometers. And in even simpler terms, this means free speed.

I have worn Sidi's and Mavic's for the past 10+ years. These shoes fit nearly perfectly out of the box. The toe box is wider, giving my toes more room to wiggle and better for circulation. The heel retention is much better than my previous shoes, and the offset buckle/strap combination is more comfortable and better constructed than the Mavic's. The toe molding is much better placed to protect the upper mesh from toe damage (which ruined my other shoes after less than a year). The last is slightly more curved than the Mavic's, but it feels more stable for me (less pronation).This shoe has both heat moldable insoles and the shoe itself can be molded at your LBS. I heat molded the insoles by myself, following instructions found on the internet, and they are now even more comfortable. I will continue riding with them indoors, and if needed, take them to my LBS to have the shoe custom molded - at this point it feels like I won't need to.
