When choosing a new set of cycling shoes, women typically face a lot more difficulties than your average guy. Shops don’t sell as many women’s shoes, so they don’t stock as many.
For the same reason, most brands typically don’t make as many women’s shoes as they do men’s or ‘unisex’ models, particularly at the high end. For way too long, a large number of women have had to special order their size from a compromised selection, cross their toes and hope they fit.
Available in sizes EU36-44, the WR84 is the top women’s road shoe from Shimano and is the equivalent of the men’s R171, which ranges from sizes 38-50 and is the second from the top in the men’s range. We’ve reviewed the R171 before and this women’s offering incorporates all the same features, delivered with a women’s fit and black/blue colour scheme.

The WR84 is a welcome addition to the Shimano range. While the name doesn’t roll off the tongue, the shoe itself is light to hold, bling to look at, and feels luxurious to wear. It extends the women’s specific selection to riders with racing aspirations, without being so over-the-top that you’ll be frightened to wear it on training or social rides.
Shimano's 'Surround Upper' helps to wrap the shoe over the foot for greater support
