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

I'm new to this but this shoe and insole are great. Order more than listed on Giro website - I bought the recommended size and had to return it and take a full size up (not just a half size). The solid shank keeps the foot from hurting where it touches the pedal by spreading the load from the pedal over the entire foot, not just the few inches where the pedals are. The undercut was great - now I ride further and faster than in normal trail shoes and with flat pedals. And yes, the first time I stopped was because of an unexpected car and I didn't forget to unbuckle it after I started falling. It's winter now and I'm wearing better socks in 40 degrees Fahrenheit and yes my toes are a bit cold but they're fine. As a motorcyclist, I knew that these boots with a reinforced shaft, ratchet straps and no laces were made for me. Shoelaces are dangerous :-) Giro gloves are the same - order one size larger! I use them with my new Crank Brothers Double Shot pedals.
