Comfortable but easily torn

Comfortable for mountain biking, wear size 10.5 shoes and this shoe is great for size 10.5. The material feels very cheap and I tore mine in several places when I slipped on the rock.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Not as thick as other shoes

Small toe box is good for shoes

Appears to be a good shoe but it was short despite being a size larger (48) than I normally wear - and a toe box was very snug and tight on my toes , although my feet are quite narrow. Came back and I'm looking at the garneau some of which seem to have roomier toes.

Pros
  • Great general features
Cons
  • Has issues

Not for wide feet in men

If you have wide feet like me, this might not be for you. I am a size 13.5 and I ordered a size 48 and it fits perfectly in length. But the breadth is another story. I will use them anyway and get my money's worth. If you have wide feet, go to the store and try them on before you buy them.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some little things

Great, durable pair of cycling shoes.

Bought these to use clampless pedals on my road bike but didn't want road bike boots as I like to wear shoes when I bike to my destination. They are good quality, size 46 fits my height 12ft very well and I'm sure they will fit a little. Highly recommended as a first pair of cycling shoes.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great Price

Be to! Design or manufacturing defects?

The attached pictures show where the seams meet just behind the widest part of the foot, just behind the little toe knuckle. Very painful even after a short drive. I am a normal 12ft width. It can also happen that the seams overlap here and there is a large bulge. Whatever the reason, these shoes look great but hurt like Dickens.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Stylish, functional, lightweight

At around $100, these are some of the best cycling shoes you can buy. I wore them on a 21 mile trip the other day and have no complaints. I did not experience any hot spots or numbness in my toes during use. Note that they require 2 MTB style bolts, so they will not work with road bolts. Another thing to mention is pure black and red. In the photo of Revain shoes, the upper is more gray, they are black. But this is what I was looking for. My bike is black and red and they match perfectly.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Shorter than other styles

Good show good price gives you what you would expect for the money

The show does the job. They replaced high end shoes so I noticed the step back. The fit seems too small to me. This shoe is narrower than my last shoe and a little less sensitive. All the Velcro straps don't tighten the shoe like it has at least one ratchet buckle. And the wearing comfort is one step lower than with my previous shoes. For the money, they served as fast and cheap shoes. But I gave up some things for a lower price. I might buy again just based on a reasonable price.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things
