XC903 S-PHYRE Cycling Shoe delivers pro-grade power, precision fit, and confident traction for cross-country domination
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“These are the kind of shoes that make you want to attack every climb. The BOA® Li2 dials lock in a perfect fit, the carbon sole transfers every watt, and the ULTREAD rubber keeps you planted when you’re off the bike. Shimano nailed the balance between stiffness, comfort, and control.”
Whether racing the clock or grinding through all-day rides, the Shimano XC903 S-PHYRE Cycling Shoe transforms pedal strokes into pure efficiency. Designed for cross-country, gravel, and cyclocross performance, the XC903 combines a carbon-reinforced sole with Shimano’s lightest and most precise fit system to deliver uncompromising responsiveness on every climb and sprint.
The dual BOA® Li2 dials tighten micro-adjustably across the foot, wrapping a supple synthetic leather upper that adapts to your anatomy for a glove-like fit. Shimano’s carbon fiber composite midsole sits low and stable, maximizing power transfer while maintaining all-day comfort. When the trail forces a dismount, the ULTREAD rubber outsole grips confidently on dirt and rock, so you can remount without losing momentum.

Great Shoes!

The Shimano S-Phyre XC903s are awesome. Super stiff and responsive on the pedals, but still comfortable enough for long days out. The BOA dials make it easy to get the fit just right, and the grip from the sole is great if you need to walk. They're light, sleek, and just feel fast. They're definitely one of the best shoes I’ve ridden in.

My favorite shoe of all time (25 years)!

- I've used it several times
This is the best pair of cycling shoes I’ve ever owned! They are not cheap but they are not cheap. The quality of the fit is good. The feel of the rubber lugs on the bottom are great. The boa closures are very good. The heel cup and toe box are the best I’ve ever had. And after 3 weeks and 500+ miles I’m going to keep them forever! They’re true to size but possibly a hair bigger than my usual 45s. So wool socks won’t be a problem.

Hands down the most comfortable shoe for your feet. Durability is also fantastic with roughly 3 to 4 seasons. I’ve had a few other brands and these just work really well for my feet. 100% recommend
