Review on Men'S Indoor Cycling Shoes With Cleats Pre-Installed - Tommaso Strada Optimized For Peloton, Echelon & Bowflex Spin Bikes - Ready To Ride With Look Delta Or SPD Compatibility by John Ramsey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice Shoe - SIze Chart issues for me

This seems like a real high quality shoe, construction seems solid, they are light weight, etc. Straps are real solid and tongue is comfortable, bottom is stiff and responsive. I have only a couple of minor comments which caused me to rate 4 instead of 5, but if this is not important to the buyer, then you can consider this a 5 rating.1) True to fit - I use size 44 shoes and these 10.5s (for which the size chart indicates 44) are considerably larger than my other 4 pairs of size 44. Some sources say 10.5 = 44, others say 10.5 = 45. Some even say size 11 = 44. The inconsistency is significant and annoying. These 10.5s are about what a 10.5 sneaker would be, however, I take 10.5 in a running shoe and 10.0 in a bike shoe which apparently is size 43 for this brand. I have a pair of 43.5 bike shoes that are a size 9 equivalent I don't want to blame this one company who makes a great shoe and will use these in the winter with thick socks - but can someone get the conversion correct? I have had no issues when buying shoes based on the Euro sizes which seem very consistent compared to US sizes.2) I purchased these with SPD cleats. I should have checked them because they were not torqued nearly enough and the cleat rotated while I was out on my first ride. I would say this is mostly my fault - I should not have assumed the cleats would be installed tight enough and should have checked them.

Pros
  • Athletic
Cons
  • Not suitable for those with foot injuries

The shoe is great but it has that rattle as other posts have mentioned as it has mounts for different pedals. You can take the rattling mounts out from the inside of the shoe but it’s not easy. But once you do that the shoe is great!
