Recessed Spd road shoes

I’ve been spd shoe shopping and discovered Shimano just released a new entry level line. Check out the XC3 which comes in at $120 and has a BOA dial. Plus it comes in wide sizes which I’ve finally found a pair that is sub $200 (by a mile) compared to other cycling wide shoe offerings.

Otherwise they also released an XC1 with velcro straps at $90 retail.

So far the only place online I can find XC3 (in wide) is REI but one of my local bike shops stated they could special order it for me. Going to see if an upcoming 20% member coupon will work on them (hoping for Labor Day to have another one).
