Rapha Shoe Classics
Very comfortable shoes. I’ve always worn SIDI’s - without any problems I must say.
However the width is better for me on these Classics.
When ordering I would recommend a pair bigger. ( For example: size 44 instead of 43 as normally worn in ordinary shoes).
Overall, Great choice!

Love these...please do a ProTeam version
I LOVE my old Giro based RCC shoes, these are very different, a bit bigger, a lot more spacious in the toe area and immediately comfortable due to the laces. Patent leather looks fantastic, especially with pink laces. Just now want a slightly snugger ProTeam RCC version please ;)

classic shoe
excellent shoe! comfortable as well fits well with my feet ( i’m Asian and i have wide feet). also the shoe performs great for climbing as it gives the comfort and excellent power transfer whilst pedalling up the steep gradient. So guys.. go and purchase this as it is worth it!

Perfect.
Lace-ups aren’t to everyone’s taste but you can’t deny the classic aesthetic fits with Rapha’s style agenda perfectly. Really comfortable too (have only worn them once up to this review), great range of sizes. Got them in white and they really look good. Another classy product.

Nice - but pricey
The shoes are a good fit which is v important. They also feel very light. I like the style too. They arrive very neatly packaged. I bought dark grey (sale) but in hindsight I prefer black. At full price these shoes are pricey though and there is a lot of choice out there.

Top quality shoes
The best cycling shoes I’ve ever owned!
Awesome quality at a reasonable price in my opinion. The fit is spot on. I’m a 45 in fizik shoes and these are the same, but with a slightly wider toe box. Snug without feeling tight and they look the business.
Couldn’t be happier

Classic Shoe - 45.5
Very comfortable shoe and high quality materials. Exactly what I expected. I have consistently been a 45.5 EUR in other brands and the Classic 45.5 fit great. This was my first experience with a lace up shoe and I think it feels stable and can dial in the fit very well.

Super Comfortable, Nice Styling
For starters, these shoes first on fit like a glove and personally they fit slightly better (but not much in it) than the Proteam shoe in my opinion but Proteam for racing and Classic for General riding and a little bit of posing, i have not worn mine in earnest yet as its winter time and as they are white i,ll save them for nice sunny dry days so they should last a few years, i give them 5 stars as overall they look the business and feel great, i have always had shoes with the Rotary tightening controls and this is the first time using laces and with the little retaining strap to hold the laces in place once fastened i think is tidy and sufficient but not sure how it will perform once i really start wearing them, sizing is spot on for me, the Size 44 is just right and i take 44 in an Sworks, the width fitting is really comfortable for me as i have quite wide feet and so far don,t see any issues, all round a very nice comfortable shoe that fits extremely well and should last a while. (if you look after them properly)

Great pair
Have been using these for a few weeks -- am a big fan thus far. They are super snug but at sametime have enough give in the upper to accomodate a wider foot. Only minor complaint is the the tongue is a little stiff so digs in slightly to my ankle on longer rids

Rapha Classic Shoes - High Performance & Style
Wonderful shoes with a full carbon sole, all wrapped up with a one-piece layer of high protection. Laces stay secure and the fit is very comfortable. These shoes are amazing to look at and perform just as well. The width is nice and true to size. A future classic.

Stylish and comfortable
These shoes are great. I was worried about the need for adjustment during a ride as I used to do every time with a simple twist of a BOA dial. The laces here seem to stretch and contract with your foot so no adjustment is needed. I am a size 44 and went with 44.5

Comfy slippers
first of all, sizing, I usually wear 41, but after first delivery I knew it won’t be 41, so I go for 42,5 and that was optimal for me. laces are super cool, works very well. sole is stiff. you will be like daaamn I want to wear them even for grocery shopping :)

Great looking shoes
A great looking pair of shoes. Lace ups give a bit more freedom for tightening the shoes and also give an old style classic look, the front velcro band adds a bit extra for design and looks.. size is spot on and there are plenty of size options.. great shoe.

Awesome shoes - roll on Spring
Bought in sale so haven’t had the weather to fully test yet but so far so good and really pleased.
However a great product let down by very poor delivery service once again. Parcel abandoned on doorstep in pouring rain which turned box into a brown pulp.

Comfortable, stylish and high quality
This is my second pair of Rapha Classic Shoes. They continue to be comfortable, stylish, supportive and stiff. Sizes are on the small side - I usually wear a 44 in normal, work shoes, but in these I had to go to a 46.5 to make them fit. Size yours wisely!

Stylish, stiff and comfortable shoes
Fit true to size, fairly wide and comfortable - no hot spots even on long rides. I was sceptical about laces but decided to give it a try as I really liked the design. No complaints here, just tuck them in under the tab and forget. Highly recommended!

Looks amazing and it fits perfectly!
I bought this when the new classics shoes were released and could not be any happier. I have a semi-wide and flat feet but it still fits me really well and comfortable on long rides too. And with the typical string adjustment, you could not fault it!

Firm soles that direct power to the right places
I have high feet arches, and quite wide feet. The inside of soles is perfectly snug, with high enough rise in the arch and enough space around the toes for a comfortable grip that stays firm under pressure both when pulling and pushing the cleats.

Vintage Rapha quality classic shoes
After riding 4 years with this shoes (+- 15000 km/year) they still fits well and are still in perfect condition (except from the toe which is a bit damaged by my own fact). Because of the 50% discount order I ordered a new pair for the future :-)

Smart, stylish, well made
Bought a couple of months ago. Happy with product. They did have some wearing in required around the upper ankle, digging into my skin and creating blister/open wound... but with rest and a dozen or so uses, thick socks, softened up sufficiently.

Fantastic road cycling shoes
Love these in the black sparkle! They are not only beautiful but also have very stiff soles and are actually comfortable. I’ve ridden them a few hundred miles so far and they definitely hold up. Also love that they came with high arch inserts!

Classic shoes!
As the name implies, these shoes are classic. They are stiff and comfortable for everyday riding. The strap is a nice reflecting material, and they look great in person. If you're thinking about giving these a go you won't be disappointed.

Nice kicks
These are really, really comfortable. Not the stiffest but they don't need to be for 99% of us. Struggling to scuff or mark the white upper, which is easily cleaned with a baby wipe or two. Uber cool as well. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic look and feel
I bought this during the last sale on Christmas. The look is just fantastic at the beginning the size was a bit small but I return them and in less then a week I had the right size keep at least 1/2 a size more of what you generally wear.

Beautiful Cycling Shoes
Top marks for aesthetics — I receive compliments on these all the time. I have wider feet so had to go up a half size and adjust the laces to give more room. I’ve now been wearing for a couple months and they’re overall very comfortable.

Good fit, good looks
I especially like the wide foot-bed of these shoes as well as the color. I went up a size because my last pair from another brand were too tight. I didn't really need to. The shoes are roomy and the interchangeable arch supports help.

Awesome shoe for the price
Appreciate it is meant to be an entry level shoe, but it’s fantastic. The stiff sole is great for hill climbing. I wasn’t sure initially if the laces would give sufficient tightness but they more than do the job. Just love these shoes!

beautiful Shoes.. however
Great shoes.. however
I wear a 42 shoes in most brands (Giro for Road shoe) and these Rapha shoes fit almost perfectly. I found them a tad too wide for me.. tried different insoles but that did not work.. so sadly I had to return them.

Super Comfy
Was unsure about these shoes when viewed online (metallic silver) but when you see them for real they are amazing. Proper head turners ! Super comfy, they just wrap around your feet when you pull on the laces.
Fantastic product.

Great
Bought a month ago, tested both in the race and touring, they are absolutely comfortable and exceptionally beautiful to look at, they stand out.
Congratulations to the returns service, before finding my size I tried 3 pairs.
