Scott's Road RC Ultimate is stiff, light and pretty much everything you'd want a top-end road racing shoe to be... but the £439.99 price tag is rather hard to stomach! cycling
The carbon sole has a rigidity rating of 10/10 and is described as extremely stiff, and I'd agree. I found they were rock solid when I gave them my best sprinting and climbing efforts.
These uppers are the main difference, in fact, between the Ultimates and Scott's, erm, penultimate Road RC shoes, which are a whopping £150 cheaper. Personally, I think all but the most demanding racers might find the extra performance and cost hard to justify. They're very easy to use even while riding, as you don't have to release and then retighten them like a lot of Boa dials. I really liked this as, during summer, I need to adjust my shoes as my feet get warm. The Li2s make it super easy.
Scott's 'Ergologic Insole System' allows you to adjust the insole depending on arch volume, too, via three pad options that come with the shoes. They're designed to reduce numbness and distribute pressure evenly, but as I have pretty standard feet I just stuck with the default. It was very comfortable for me.
