3 velcro system is the best

This is my second pair of SPD shoes. I ordered them a size 45 as I'm US 10.5 and they fit just right, maybe a little tight. Shoes are narrower. Compared to the Shimano SH-M089 shoes, which had a snap system at the top and a cross strap in the middle that always got in the way of my crank, these shoes are a definite upgrade. The 3 velcro system really lets you dial in your preferred tightness and they are quite stiff so you really feel the power transfer. I like the fact that the clear plate is already there and it was a lot easier to fine tune on it. Much better as my last pair of Shimano shoes were a bit out of production. Overall, this is a very simple design meant to work. Would recommend to a friend and buy again.
