Yesssss finally a shoe that fits!!!

I tried on 15-20 pairs of shoes at different shops and online retailers. Every other shoe I tried was too narrow around the widest part of my foot, and/or the lacing system cut into my foot right by the tongue. This was a real problem with any BOA lacing systems and especially the side closure type of shoes. These shoes looked a little funny but I thought I'd give them a try because of the old school lacing system. They are fantastic - really comfortable but still stiff thanks to the carbon reinforced sole. I got these on clearance sale and the materials and construction were way, way better quality than any of the other shoes I tried in the $75-150 price range. If you're having the same fit issues that I had, then I can't recommend them highly enough. It fits slightly small (off by 1 size in EUR, or half a size in US).

Got these on sale and was happy with the purchase. They were my first clip ins and i paired with the Crank Bros Candy1 pedals on my mountain bike and Crank Bros Eggbeaters on my road/gravel bike. Fit: I wear size 12 shoes so using the size chart i chose the size 47 pair. They fit great, with a little bit of space so that when my feet get hot and expand i wont get blisters. ***Update after 6 months and over 2000 miles of road, gravel, and mountain biking*** They held up pretty well! After thousands of miles my feet never cramped or got numb, and the only damage to the shoes is some of the rubber is peeling from the front. I could easily fix it with some shoe goo in 5 minutes but I don't mind it. Ill probably buy these again as a solid training/durable pair of shoes.

These were my first set of mtb shoes and have gone great for me! I’m a 10-10.5 men’s shoes regularly and took a pair of 44s and they run maybe slightly large but that’s about the only flaw for me. I love walking around in these as the cleat lies almost flush with the sole and make very little noise meaning that as laced shoes, they don’t look out of place at a bbq or bar but they also can sustain a good shred. I live near a sweet little gravel track and they have been getting a lot of use. A lot of dismounting and walking up too steep of steps to ride up, scraping on brush and sunlight exposure. Approx a couple of dozen rides in these and they’ve been awesome. And I think I paid closer to $115 when the orange color was on sale and that’s a massive bargain for what you get. I live when you get a good buy like that!

This is my fifth pair of Shimano mtb shoes and I've always wore a 42. These were too small. And what's with Shimano not shipping SPD cleats anymore? I think that happened on my last pair as well . Anyway, construction looks solid as usual.

Very elegant, light and comfortable

Having to tuck laces in might be annoying, but you only have to do it once, and they will remain in place.

I had been riding with midrange ($175+/-) mountain shoes with spd or road shoes with sls cleats, depending on which bike. Both of those shoes caused uneven fit-Velcro straps not tight enough, ratcheting buckle not particularly comfortable. These shoes solve all of those problems, no looseness, no pressure points, just snug and comfortable with room for the toes. As for walking, they’re also comfortable and safe. Now, both of my bikes are XT-M8000, easy in/out. I didn’t much care for the super long laces, so I switched to Iron Laces, which work good and are tidy.
