Rc wouldn't stop bothering me to review...I bought the new version and hated how it pinched down on the top of my foot so I returned them for the 2024...such a better shoe!
I was stoked to get these shoes, even if the beige was a bit more olive in person.
The size 12 fit great, and the right shoe BOA laced them up fast and snug.
However, the left shoe’s BOA system would not ratchet up at all. It seems like it was defective straight away, brand new out of the box!
This is not a dig on RC as BOA isn’t their technology, but one they integrate into their product. I can now say for certain that in my experience with BOA, from all my sporting equipment, that it has been less than satisfactory. They come loose, they break, they stop working? Not worth the hassle of having a fast lacing system if the things are spending weeks away getting repaired.
Just going to stick to laces from now on, seems like the safer bet.
I will also mention that RC warranty/returns team was very responsive, helpful, and apologetic, which I greatly appreciated.
Super comfy and robust, they arrived two days before national champs and they were so comfy and supportive from the start and performed way better than expected, solid build which's looks like they will be lasting much longer than my previous few pair of other riding shoes, highly recommend.
Super comfortable and just the right fit. It has been my favorite shoe
