Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Shoes – Cycle. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Shimano Women’s RX8W SPD Shoes 2020.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Shimano Women’s RX8W SPD Shoes 2020 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Shoes – Cycle. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Shoes – Cycle. Brands like Shimano are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Shoes – Cycle category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices

Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

- Description: Shimano Women’s RX8W SPD ShoesThe Women’s RX8W SPD Shoes from Shimano have been engineered for a new breed of fast-riding gravel cyclist.

Race-Bred Gravel Crushing Performance.Gravel cycling can be anything from a multi-day bikepacking experience to an all-out racing adventure and the Women’s RX8W SPD Shoes definitely sit at the faster and more race-orientated end of that spectrum. Shimano starts by giving them a super-stiff carbon composite sole unit, providing a remarkably efficient platform to get maximum watts through the pedals and kicking up the dust of a gravel road. If you have to hop off the bike then low-profile TPU lugs provide excellent traction but with the bare minimum of weight and the two bold cleat compatibility offers maximum versatility to get off and on-road. Dynalast Comfort, BOA® IP1 Precision.Made from a single-piece synthetic leather, the upper of the RX8Ws wrap the foot closely but comfortably, providing a non-slip platform for smooth pedalling performance. Shimano’s DYNALAST design ensures a precise fit and optimal comfort and delivers a more natural pedalling motion, even across rough off-road terrain. This is then complemented by the BOA® IP1 dial adjustment, with 1mm of micro-adjustment you can be assured of the best fit with even pressure across the foot. Lastly, with Silvadur™ antimicrobial inner soles you’ll also finish the day with fresh feet, no matter how intensely you’ve been riding.If you’re a gravel riding fan and maybe looking to tackle some races and sportives off the beaten track then the Women’s RX8W SPD Shoes should be your go-to choice. Leave your competitors in your dust.
