Somewhat unusually for Shimano, the shoes use good old fashioned laces. Shimano usually prefers velcro, Boa dials or ratchet straps for its clipless shoes, though has offered the touring oriented RT4 with laces for a little while now.

The shoes use the same Michelin sole that is used on a lot of Shimano’s other shoes. The shoes also feature toe-spike mounts, so if you’re partial to a little bit of cyclocross racing, these should be a good option.

Shimano Metrea; 1x for the road, now it’s official Built around a “shock absorbing EVA mid-sole”, the shoes are optimised for all-day wear and use with Shimano’s CLICK’R pedals.

For those that don’t know, CLICK’R is essentially a regular SPD system that is easier to get in and out of and has found favour with some urban and beginner riders.

The RP9 tops the range, featuring a synthetic microfibre synthetic leather upper, a lightweight carbon sole that measures 10 on the stiffness scale and a claimed weight of 224g in a size 42.

The RP9 uses a simple BOA IP1 dial and single velcro strap at the front of the shoe for retention.
