These are a great pair of bike shoes. I use them for both road and mtb riding since I use SPD pedals on both bikes. I feel they run ever so slightly small, I ordered a size 45 and tend to wear 10.5 US so they may be a bit small, but the 45s work great for me. The sole is stiff enough I don’t feel any flex and there is enough ventilation to help keep my feet comfortable. I think the blue look great and goes well with the blue theme on my bikes. I did find this exact shoe in all black with high vis yellow logos and boa dial at an online retailer for a third of the cost of these so I bought them for a second pair to have. The shoe is comfortable and the tightening system works well. They are relatively lightweight and good ventilation. Been on about 5 rides and really like these shoes. Very comfortable and worth a look if you need new riding kicks!

These shoes work really well. There are a couple of things you should know about them. First, they are not heavy duty. If you are a rough rider and scarp you shoe against boulders or trees, you will not have the same protection as other shoes. Two, the cleats are definitely needed if you have to hike over some rough terrain. Without them, it feels like there is a missing section of the shoes. My preference would be for them to include the cleats. The cleats cost approximately $15 depending on where you buy them from.

I purchased these because I switched out the pedals on my gravel bike for mountain bike pedals. The first time I really used them was on a 120 mile gravel ride. I didn’t notice them at all on the ride. Normally, I wear road bike shoes and cleats. The fact that I didn’t notice anything about these is fantastic. The fit was very good and I didn’t have any abnormal rubbing or blisters.I was planning to purchase a pair of MTB Fiziks, but these were far and away the more affordable option and work fantastic

Great shoe overall. For summer it has pretty good ventilation. The sole feels stiff enough for good energy transfer and supportive enough to not feel any pressure points. Good traction and durability so far. I was skeptical about the boa system, but it does feel more supportive than a three-strap system.For winter the ventilation becomes an issue. I am still trying to find the right solution to block the warmth. With wool socks and neoprene shoe cover, my toes are still a little numb below 40 degrees.

These exceeded my expectations. This is my first pair of cycling shoes and I couldn’t be happier. They’re comfortable and really helped with my riding performance. My first ride was also in 35 degree weather and my feet stayed relatively warm with normal dri-fit socks. The size was spot on, I wear a size 12 and ordered a 12 and they fit perfectly. 10 of 10 recommend to anyone looking for new cycling shoes.

I own 10.5 (45) Shimano shoes which I was hoping to replace with these at size 10.5 but unfortunately these are sized one size lower meaning that their 10.5 is actually a 44. I am returning them for size 11 (which is actually 45). This shoe is NARROW so beware. I have narrow feet so it shouldnβt be an issue but if your ft are avg or wide you will likely find these too narrow. I prefer a well fitted shoe (narrow) for riding as it wraps my foot and reduces movement (friction) and therefore the potential for blisters. Another issue with these shows is that the top wire/cable tends to cut off circulation to the foot of the shoe is tightened down well. There is little to no padding in the tongue and the top wire eats into the foot. Because of this, I give these shoes 3 stars. Beyond that, they vent and fit well.

This is my first pair of clipless shoes and was unsure of buying shoes online. My foot measures between a 9 & 9.5 and so I normally wear 9.5’s. When these arrived and I tried on they fit true to size. I like the look and feel too. I will update my review if anything changes as I use them more.

I purchased these shoes to replace the older model and I love these ones even more they fitted perfectly out the box and I have completed 3 to 4 hour rides with these shoes with no foot pain I would purchase these shoes again
