Review on Giro Carbide R Men's Cycling Shoes: Enhanced Performance and Comfort! by Brad Jeffress

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great mountain bike shoes for the money!

MTBers have been here for a long time. Never worn Giro MTB shoes and never ordered cycling shoes online without trying them on first. Wasn't expecting great shoes for the price but was pleasantly surprised. These are great shoes. I wear US men's size 10 in all casual and athletic shoes. I ordered 44 of these and they fit perfectly. They even match my Winter Woolie Boolie socks. The fit is snug but not very tight in the toe box, just what I need in a mountain bike shoe. However, please note that I do not have very wide feet. The outsole is VERY hard. Again exactly what I wanted so no power is wasted when pedaling. I use Crank Bros Candy pedals. I used spacers to install the cleat and the pedal engaged easily and accurately. Even with pads I can walk in it and the spikes don't click on the ground or pavement when walking. They are considered entry level shoes but from my experience I have to say they are at least a notch above. It's worth the $52 price I paid. Would definitely buy them again. In fact, I may buy another pair before they run out of my size. At such a low price I will probably never see them again.
