I think I have hard-to-fit feet. My left foot is a bit wider than the right. I have also had a few surgeries over the past five or ten years that includes some hardware and fusion. My former bike shoes were expensive, but quite painful for this left foot. I was often getting blisters or calluses on my toes. When I saw the Shimano shoe, I contacted a gearhead who told me that this shoe does have a larger toe box than my previous shoes. I cannot be more pleased. I feel as if I could wear them for several hours without discomfort. My usual ride is a little over two. This shoe has not let me down. I love them more now that they are broken in. This is a perfect shoe for people with hard-to-fit feet.

These were bought for my wife to replace her Fizik R1's. She found them much more comfortable, especially in the toe box where the Fizik were causing her trouble. The heel grip is great and the arch support with a range of height adjustments is a big plus as well. The shoes look great in white. I thought the pearlescent finish would be weird, but it is subtle and give a little character to the appearance. With a white sole, we were concerned they would get dirty and scuffed looking easily, but they are holding up well. Highly recommended as a top-line road shoe.

Bought these after trying ~15 different types of shoes by mail (thanks covid). I have a wide forefoot despite having otherwise slender feet. I find most shoes that are long enough for me are way too tight in the forefoot. I have a compressed nerve in my forefoot, so grinning and bearing it is not an option. Cycling shoes are a huge challenge for me, since theyâre meant to fit snug. Tried these after reading reviews of menâs version where there were several comments about the toe box being roomier than most shoes. So glad this holds true for the womenâs version! Iâm normally a 8 in casual shoes (8.5 if they run small). Got these in a 40 and fit is phenomenal! I can wiggle my toes a bit but no sliding around; heel doesnât lift or rub; room for normal socks. BOA closure is awesome! I bought the white - see pic. They have a slight pearly sheen (barely noticeable though it looks more pronounced in pictures). The material wipes up nice after a long dusty ride. Whatever they coat the material makes it super smooth, which helps repel the dirt. They still scuff easy, because theyâre white. Hoping to get another pair in black for messy and wet rides. Iâve put ~100 miles on these so far. Canât imagine wearing anything else.
