Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Giro Carbide R Men's Cycling Shoes: Optimal Performance and Comfort for Every Ride by Vince Preston

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great mountain bike shoes for the money!

Longtime MTBer here. Never worn Giro MTB shoes and never ordered cycling shoes online without trying them on first. I wasn't expecting great shoes for the price, but was pleasantly surprised. These are great shoes. I wear US men's size 10 in all casual and athletic shoes. I ordered 44 of these and they fit perfectly. They even match my Winter Woolie Boolie socks. The fit is snug but not very tight in the toe box, just what I need in a mountain bike shoe. However, please note that I do not have very wide feet. The outsole is VERY hard. Again exactly what I wanted so no power is wasted when pedaling. I use Crank Bros Candy pedals. I used spacers to install the cleat and the pedal engaged easily and accurately. Even with pads I can walk in it and the spikes don't click on the ground or pavement when walking. They are considered entry level shoes but from my experience I have to say they are at least a notch above. It's worth the $52 price I paid. Would definitely buy them again. In fact, I may buy another pair before they run out of my size. At such a low price I will probably never see them again.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Exchange Availability
