E-SS515C Open-Toe Sandal with Clipless Design Review

I wore Keen bike sandals until they fell apart. Unfortunately they were discontinued so I replaced them with these. They're not that easy to put on and take off with all those velcro straps and once on they're quite wide. But they are comfortable and I love their reflective material and they are definitely more comfortable than regular road shoes.

Keen cycling sandals worn for years but no longer made. Bought these and I love them. Just as Keynes is better in some ways. I highly recommend it. I drive about 5,000 miles a year so they train. Very convenient.

Comfortable sandals, many adjustments with multiple straps. The heel strap is padded and holds the foot in place without forcing it forward into the toe box, which is important for maintaining foot/pedal position. The color is pleasant and provides additional visibility in traffic. My only issue was the weight of each sandal - 494 grams without spikes. my Tommaso Tri sneakers weigh 304 grams each, with spikes. The Exustar sandals come with mountain bike cleats but are easily swapped out for SPD

I've never tried Shimano's famous SPD peep toe sandals (which are back in 2020). I just never liked the whole toe thing, too many toe bumps in tewas. Of course, this is mostly hiking or playing in the water. And my MTB use usually got me running over some rough rock patches and the lack of leg protection seemed unreasonable. They were also expensive (especially with newer versions). But now I ride CBM mainly in the south and when I saw Exustar shoes with all the essential toe caps half price…

I have always ordered for 40 euros (9.5 for women) and shoes 40/41. At first I thought they were too big because when my toe was pushed forward in the shoe, there was about an inch more in the back. But after adjusting the straps I found the fit nice and roomy, nothing compressing and I really don't want my toes sticking out that far. I figured the next size up might be too small so I'm happy with my fit. (I might even wear them with #pnwstyle socks this fall.) Also note: The straps are long…

I have been cycling long distances for over 30 years and normally wear cycling sandals which I often wear every day for 4-6 weeks. Over time I used 8 pairs of Keen bike sandals of different models until the company stopped making bike sandals for SPD. I've tried other brands including previous Exustar models as well as the popular Shimano sandals but didn't find adequate strap support and didn't like keeping my toes open when cross country riding. After 4 months and 2000 miles these Exustar…

FINALLY a shoe that works! I use them for indoor cycling/backriding. I have wide feet/bumps and after trying on 5 different types of shoes I went to a bike shop, measured my foot, went through the whole process of ordering the shoes - waiting for the shoes to arrive - trying on the shoes - just one more Bike course when I find a shoe my foot hurts. In the end the bike shop said there was nothing they could do until my bursitis was fixed. I decided to check out Revain to see if there are other…
