Superb cycling shoes

These shoes fit like a glove, ultra light and stiff. I have previously purchased a pair of their xproject MTB running shoes and was very pleased so I decided to try them. Excellent but expensive.

Pros
  • Imported
Cons
  • Some bugs

Had to return the same shoes TWICE!

Not sure WTH but I had to order this shoe twice for my mom who is a cyclist. The first order was too small, so I bought an even larger size D. The second order came but not the size we ordered. I told my mom we won't be ordering a third time as these shoes aren't cheap! Now we have to go straight to the source. These shoes run small and do not fit.

Pros
  • 3 Bolt Road Cleats
Cons
  • Knitter

Worth the money - women's

I'm a serious amateur cyclist . I had reservations about buying shoes that are in this shoe price range. I had issues with a hot foot and an inability to adjust my shoes as my foot swelled up during long rides. I rode about 1000 miles in these shoes. These are the most comfortable cycling shoes I've ever had. The bottom and top lace adjustments fixed my hot foot issue. It also transfers power to the pedals. I feel like the pedals are just an extension of my foot. I'm considering buying another…

Pros
  • Zoned bi-directional closure wraps the foot for a semi-custom fit and secure fit, ip1 dual boas allow for 1mm micro-adjustment and slide out to fully release
Cons
  • Zero

Great shoe (easy closure)

First of all - great road shoe. The quality of the material is very good (leather heel and breathable mesh/polyurethane upper that wraps around the foot). The shoe is more of a top-level soccer shoe than a fit-and-fit cycling shoe. The double Boa system really makes the shoe perfect. Extremely easy to use and set up, even while driving. Dual adjusters and the ability to adjust it in both directions make this shoe comfortable in all stages of riding (especially on long rides when your foot tends

Pros
  • 79% rubber/20% textile/1% steel ring
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
