Going well with my pros and cons

I wear normal 9.5D shoes. My legs began to cramp at the ends. Although it took them a month to deliver them to me, I was satisfied when I received them. I used to wear SIDI 43 shoes. SIDI started to curl and narrow at the end of my foot and the toe box is a bit tight for medicine. THIS SHOE IS PERFECT. They weren't a size 43 but the 9.5-10 was a size 44. They weren't too long as I figured I'd have to go up a size. Also, the spike has two sets of mounting holes on the front and back, I put the…

Pros
  • Not particularly comfortable or stylish, fit was a bit small
Cons
  • I replaced the insole as it is not cushioned. Take the one with the gel insole.

With oversized toe clips, they're small enough to fit snugly. They are quite pleasant to walk on.

Sturdy than regular running shoes, they work well with or without spikes. With oversized toe clips, they're small enough to fit snugly. You can walk comfortably in them without spikes for a short time, when you put the spikes on they are recessed, but you shouldn't walk on them much because they creak a bit.

Pros
  • Great product, fits perfectly and looks great. Easy to walk on any normal tread.
Cons
  • Not suitable for people with special orthopedic needs

Not sure about this one

Looks great, firm sole for cycling but also some foam like running shoes - main issue is they are big and chunky. As another reviewer pointed out; With this style you will end up riding the bike relaxed and pedaling lower than usual, almost like a cruiser. I've only ridden one 30 mile ride in them, maybe they break in better - I just don't know why the toe box is as wide as a baseball shoe. I have a pair of cycling shoes that are half the price, the socks are very tight and seem like the best…

Pros
  • I like that I can ride, then get off the bike and walk normally. Big plus for me.
Cons
  • Limited adjustment for a secure fit

Impressively! Look great and sit great. Size up for a better fit.

It is wonderful. Attractive, great fit. Now I don't have clips on all my bikes and I can commute to work, shop, ride around town in my running shoes and still get some power from my bikes. I am a size 13 on Nike and ordered a 14 (48) in it so I recommend going up a size.

Pros
  • Amazing, I wear it on the bike 3 times a week, get the product
Cons
  • May not be suitable for wet weather

Great comfortable shoe that does its job and looks great!

It is great! Just got back from my first ride in them and I have to say I'm very happy with the purchase. It took some concentrated effort to get the clamps in the right place - expect to adjust them to your natural foot position. The shoes themselves are very comfortable and the recessed cleats allow for normal walking! And the style is nice too. They are a bit small - I usually wear a 9; I'm a size 44 which is "9.7" and they fit perfectly.

Pros
  • Son tenis ligeros, y con bonito acabado. en la bicicleta se siente muy bien.
Cons
  • Poor ventilation can cause odor

Good but faster without shoes and clips.

Fine, until you have an accident or fall off your bike. I fell onto my side after being pinned and couldn't get out in time. I was also in a serious bike accident where the bike flipped over because a cell phone got stuck in the fork. I managed to free myself. In terms of performance, I'm actually faster without shoes or braces because I like to use my toes to push off. The shoe snaps behind the toes near the ball of the foot. I can't develop that kind of speed while wearing it. They are…

Pros
  • Increases safety with reflective details that make you visible to other drivers and cyclists, especially in poor light conditions.
Cons
  • Not suitable for wet or muddy areas

Impressed by my opinion

I have wide feet and they fit me very well. Just spent a week in Nova Scotia on a bike with them and they were very comfortable and easy to clean. Comfortable to wear and on the street they can pass as normal shoes.

Pros
  • I wear it for daily indoor spinner work...quite comfortable.
Cons
  • Bad pedal grip

Small "dad sketches " that look good but are forgivable

Throw away the reflective laces that came with the kit, they're pretty durable. I've moved to the city and my bike is my primary mode of transportation and I love being strapped in no matter where I'm going or how long it takes to get there. They are very comfortable to wear and do not raise any suspicion that they are cycling shoes. Well done Shimano.

Pros
  • Fabulous. Now I can easily ride a bike for more than 1 hour.
Cons
  • Not suitable for professional cycling, only for everyday use.

Clip-on shoes that allow you to walk normally.

There are very few cycling shoes that are comfortable to walk in. Many mountain bike shoes look like regular shoes but are too stiff to wear for long periods of time. You should really try it in person. There are few boots with an upper soft enough to allow reasonable walking and they are quite difficult to identify. It's CT5, DZR, some Pearl Izumi and 5.10 is all I've found. There may be others - more claiming to "float" but I've tried many and most of them were too stiff to spend much time…

Pros
  • Cycling shoes with a great fit.
Cons
  • Only available in one size range, may not fit all feet.

Check this size chart for exact size

I bought these because I needed stronger soles for cycling. I don't use clip on clips but with time I could make them perfect. I'm a 10.5 and the online European sizing said I was 44. But they were too tight. Changed to 45, fits perfectly. I uploaded a photo of the box because they have the correct size chart for this particular shoe. Love her look too!

Pros
  • Good looking cycling shoe - fits well, looks good, works well.
Cons
  • Not suitable for intensive cycling

Great shoes! in my opinion

I'm taking a back class and he tried on two inexpensive shoes. Both give me arch and calf pain. I saw these shoes and saw great reviews so I took a chance. These shoes are great. They fit well and I don't see any pain when riding on my back. I will be using these shoes from now on. Pay extra money. You can't go wrong.

Pros
  • The shoes are very comfortable and way more stylish than any other cycling shoes I've seen.
Cons
  • Can't be stylish or trendy

Great looking and comfortable!

My first cycling shoes, which I am very happy about. I will be using on a road bike with SPD pedals. I usually wear a 10.5 and this has worked great. But I can say that it is 10.5-10.75 and no less. This size with Europe is just stupid. No way do I wear 45. It's 43.5-44

Pros
  • A product from a trusted and respected brand in the cycling industry, ensuring you are getting a reliable and high-performing product.
Cons
  • Expensive for the quality of the product

Comfortable like tennis shoes.

Bought these for my husband who doesn't like tight shoes and is a size 12ft he sometimes has to fit. This is a good, comfortable, tennis shoe-like option for SPD shoes and the husband has no complaints.

Pros
  • Features a convenient lace-up closure that offers a secure and customizable fit, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
Cons
  • Not suitable for intense activities such as racing and training

Precise fit of the shoe

This is a very cheap shoe for SPD spikes. The design offers a completely natural gait with the spikes installed. I buy my exact size and wear it with cycling socks. They fit perfectly. I don't think you can rule out swimming in the shoe, but you can feel the interface is solid. I wish there were more of these shoes on the market. In appearance, they look like comfortable shoes with reflective laces. Fully synthetic and breathable. Warning, these shoes are not waterproof. I got caught in the…

Pros
  • Stylish and functional.
Cons
  • May not provide enough flexibility for natural foot movement

Very uncomfortable in my rating

These shoes were too tight and unforgiving, putting pressure on the wrong places on my feet while cycling. Uncomfortable for both walking and cycling.

Pros
  • Great bike shoes
Cons
  • Limited color options

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I like them, they ride the bike and the peloton well

I bought these for my bike and I love them. They look decent, the spikes don't stick out enough to chew my bottoms or click-click. I also use them on my peloton. Comfortable.

Pros
  • They are amazing, fit great and offer just enough stiffness to work into the bike.
Cons
  • May not provide adequate protection against bicycle accidents

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Look good and breathe well

Very convenient and true. I can get off my bike and go to work without having to change shoes or the irritating click of traditional ear clips.

Pros
  • Very comfortable to wear and also to walk with spikes. Works great with SPD cleat pedals. would recommend.
Cons
  • Goods correspond to the description. Note for Asian buyers: please take one size smaller.

The most comfortable cycling shoes I've ever worn

These are super comfortable and functional shoes. This is the most comfortable bike show I've ever worn. Being able to walk on the sidewalk often comes in handy. As a city shoe, I would struggle to find a reason to wear traditional cycling shoes again.

Pros
  • I love that my shoes don't look like they're from space! Very convenient.
Cons
  • Not suitable for people with wide feet

Revainrating 4 out of 5

There were problems with the shoes in the front seats.

This shoe is great. They look and feel good, a good size for a wide foot. The only issue I had was with snapping when I had the cleats in the forward position. I may have read that some people shave off the part of the hole where the spike goes in, but I just move it back and it works like a dream.

Pros
  • Comes in an attractive navy blue color that will add style to your cycling suit.
Cons
  • Does not let air through, can retain moisture inside

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As comfortable as I find.

I use them on my exercise bike almost every day and they hold up well. They're stiff, easy to put on, and just as comfortable as my regular tennis shoes.

Pros
  • The robust construction ensures durability and reliability in daily use.
Cons
  • May not provide adequate arch support for individuals with flat feet.
