- Is the RSS006 actually waterproof?
- Yes. It uses a DRYMASTER waterproof and breathable inner booty, so rain and splashes stay out while sweat vapor escapes. The outer materials are synthetic leather, cowhide and nylon, which shed water but are not waterproof on their own.
- How does the BOA closure compare with laces?
- The BOA reel tightens 49 stainless steel wires through nylon guides with one hand and holds the setting once locked. It gives finer, more even adjustment than laces and sheds water and mud, but a broken wire or reel is harder to fix on the road than a snapped lace.
- Should I size up or down?
- Buyers report it runs a little big, so consider a half size down, especially if you wear thin socks. Riders with long, narrow feet often find the BOA dial lets them tighten the width enough to stay comfortable.
- Does it offer enough protection for highway riding?
- It has molded protectors at the toe, outer ankle and heel plus reflectors, which suits city and commuter riding. It is an ankle-height shoe, so it gives less shin and ankle coverage than a full riding boot.
- What is in the box?
- You get the pair of RSS006 riding shoes. The BOA lacing is built in, so there are no spare laces or tools to manage.
- Can I walk in them off the bike?
- Yes. The original outsole is flexible and grippy, and owners say the shoe feels like a sneaker, so short walks and errands are comfortable.
