I’ve never purchased bike shoes, so I don’t have a comparison, but I think these work fine for a spin bike and the price was reasonable compared to others. We recently bought a Peloton bike. My wife took the pair that came with the bike (in accessory credit). I was looking for a less expensive option considering how much we’re paying for the Peloton. These were $45 less than Peloton’s shoes, but seem similar to me. They seem to run a bit small. I thought they’d be a bit too big on me, but they just fit. The width seems okay because the Velcro can be easily loosened. My foot runs a bit wide (not EEE) and these fit fine in width. So overall I’m perfectly happy with this purchase for a spin bike, but I can’t opine on real bike use or otherwise compare them to other spin shoes.
