I purchased these shoes in early 2019 to finally replace the toe-clips I had been using with running shoes - making this my first attempt at cleated cycling shoes. It's been nearly two years, and the shoes have held up great and have been very durable! I've used them for races and for training rides, on multiple bikes, on the road and on a stationary trainer. Other than some scuffs and chain-oil marks, they still look good and fit well. Others have commented about getting used to a shoe without a tongue, but I did not notice any real difference, and the extra surface area of exposed foot definitely helps with letting my feet breathe (and dry off after the swim split at the races). In colder weather, they don't shield the top of my feet much, but by that point I usually wimp out and ride the trainer indoors.I _will_ say that, if you have much of an arch at all, you may find shoe's inner very flat and hard. I solved this issue by adding the insoles from a retired pair of running shoes to these cycling shoes, and the fit and feel has been perfect since!For sizing, I would say these are pretty true-to-size - for most US-sized athletic shoes, I wear either 8.5 or 9 (depending upon brand), and at an EU size 42M, these were a perfect fit for me. Highly recommend these shoes not just for racing, but for all-around warm-weather or indoor usage.
