Giro seems to have that secret ingredient for how things should fit together. Her gloves fit best and these shoes seem to fit really well. I've had them for almost a year and the BOA is durable, the body of the shoe is still intact and the outsole is holding up well too. I like the insole which has held up very well which is unusual for me. I did over 250 rides in mud, sand, slush and snow in 2019. It's forward!
