High performance shouldn’t compromise comfort. The XC703 utilizes supple synthetic leather and breathable TPU mesh to keep you cool and comfortable on long rides and races. The full surround upper securely wraps your foot for a snug fit without gaps or pressure points, and dual BOA L6 dials allow for precise micro-fit adjustments.
The high-density upper integrates seamlessly with the midsole, creating a stable platform for charging up steep climbs or unwinding a full-gas sprint. Professional DYNALAST fit technology conforms to the anatomical curves of your foot for more efficient pedaling performance. Optimized for SPD pedals and cleats that help transform every ounce of your energy to propulsion down the trail.

"Ordered these rather than the top line since I am not a pro rider. Order process was smooth, delivery was fast and shoe fit exactly as I imagined it would. Used same size as my previous Shimano shoes. I did take a half a size bigger than normal."
"I bought these to replace my aging and smelly RX8s, which I loved. The RX8s were very comfortable, but would have been better with two boa dials. Enter the new XC7s. Two boa dials, BUT Shimano changed the tongue of the shoe. On the RX8s, the tongue wrapped around the foot better. On these new XC7s, the tongue doesn't wrap around as much and has a pinch point. Super uncomfortable. The only way I could complete the few rides I did with them was by loosening the boa dial completely. I reached out to Shimano about this and was told I'd have to pay the shipping to send them back for them to review the shoes. There is no obvious/visible flaw with the shoe, and since I had worn them three times, I wasn't confident that Shimano would handle the situation properly. So now I've wasted $270 on a pair of shoes I can't wear. Disappoint in the shoes and disappointed with Shimano's approach to handling the situation."
"Great fitting shoe as as all Shimano shoes. Comfortable, light weight, responsive."
"These XC7 shoes are elite level race shoes as a mid level price. Far and away the best deal in racing cycling shoes. I don't want ultra stiff mountain bike shoes as walking happens. . . . . and these are more than stiff enough with the carbon insert under the pedal/cleat. The double BOA is solid and works well. The fit is perfect for my low profile feet while still giving enough toe box but not too much. And the silver simply looks fast!"
"I like shimano shoes, these were no exception"
"I’ve been wearing this line of shoes for 10yrs, and decided it was time for the newest iteration of the RC’s, so I bought the 703’s. They have this thick inner tongue that, when clamped down with the boa, creates a very uncomfortable pressure point on my foot. I tried to break them in for a week or so, but nothing changed, so I returned them. Now I’m trying to find a different brand of shoe. Very disappointed."
