I was in need of a pair of shoes that would be practical and usable for my spin classes. These shoes have worked out great. They arrived, fully put together. They have tool to tighten the clips as necessary. I can say that mine have been strong and secure mounts. I check them weekly and I have had absolutely no problems.I have a relatively narrow foot and I do find that I have to tighten down the straps a bit, but they work great. On the flip side, my foot is usually pretty true to size and I feel there is just a touch of toe pressure at the front. If I use a thinner sock, all is well. I do recommend this product. It has been great.
