Trek’s Race Shop Limited (RSL) series of products combine top-of-the-line materials with pro-level performance. The new Trek RSL Road Cycling Shoes are one of their latest RSL products and claim to couple classic aesthetics with game-changing tech. Retail price on the RSL Road shoes is $ which is $50 cheaper than Trek’s RSL Knit road shoe variation. As a premium shoe, the RSL Road shoes have a dual BOA Li2 fit system which provides dual direction micro adjustments. The RLS shoes also feature Trek’s MetNet relief zones which allow the shoes to flex and optimize comfort. At the core of the shoes are OCLV carbon fiber soles which are one of the stiffest Trek offers along with an updated Trek Pro Last. Visually, the Trek RSL Road Cycling shoes look like classic road cycling shoes with a dual dial setup and perforated center tongue. In contrast to the flashy Trek RSL Knit shoe, these Trek RSL shoes have a subtle design with synthetic upper material and glossy heel cups. Trek only offers the shoes in two color schemes: white with black accents and the full black version we have here. It’s a low-key design with perforations along the sides and front and a glossy heel cup. Branding is limited to a reflective Trek logo on the outer heels and the BOA logos on the dials. Glossy black detailing around the tongue cutout offers some contrast to the otherwise all-black shoes. One of the key technologies of these shoes is the MetNet Relief Panels which are these three-star perforations on the outer surface of the shoes. The perforations allow the upper material to flex and contour around riders feet as well provide ventilation to keep feet cool. In fact, the entire upper material is quite flexible and mimics knit shoes as there is no visible structure except for the heel cup and toe bumper. Trek designed these shoes for high-intensity sprints and road racing which is why they have one of the stiffest soles in their lineup. It’s a full OCLV carbon fiber sole with a subtle semi-glossy carbon fiber texture instead of an aesthetic weave. With a claimed stiffness index of 14/14, even Spinal Tap will be jealous of just how stiff the shoes are.... ...
