Review on 🚴 Giro Cadet Men's Road Cycling Shoes: Unbeatable Performance and Style by Adam Jackson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally found a proper cycling shoe in size 10.5 but only usable with 3-hole spikes

I bought 8 different brands of cycling shoes in size US 10.5 or EU 44 and only Giro- shoes were true . measure up. Some were sold as EU 44 or another size that made the shoe too short. Since I have been buying EU 44 shoes and boots for decades, the problem lies with the shoe manufacturers. At Giro Cadet I feel like I have a custom made shoe for my feet and it fits like a glove. Although Giro is a California company, the lasts are comparable to Italian shoes and are best suited for people with a normal foot width D. Most boots have similar lasts to German boots and are best suited for people with wide feet. -L pedals. I switched from metal cleats on my cycling shoes that looked like funny tap shoes when I'm not on the bike to SPD pedals and two-bolt cleats and no longer need to tap dance when I'm off the bike and not have to worry walking up or down stairs or walking on a rough road. When I was looking for new boots for my road bikes I found that 90% of the boots were just 3 bolts so I had to buy some SPD-L pedals and SPD-L cleats like I do with Giro boots did. and special rubber "boots" to wear over the spikes when I'm not on the bike to avoid falling on my butt.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Negative impression
