RIME 1.0 Mountain Bike Shoe

I returned this product before using it

Noticed that a review for the RIME 1.0 mountain bike shoe was a ?wide? fit. I don?t think that is true. I am currently wearing wide Sidi?s and I was looking for a more walking friendly shoe for hike a bike sections. The shoes look well built with an excellent grippy sole. Length was good, just to narrow for me.

I really love these shoes. I use them for my flat pedals on my gravel bike. They run wide so for me having a wide foot they really work out for me. They are stiff which I like for pedaling power. Because they are stiff they are not great for walking but I find them good for walking. I didn't by them to walk in I bought them for pedaling. I was getting foot pain in my left foot with my old shoes I was using which were another brand but with these no foot pain at all. Oh, and they don't slip at all. They really grip the pedals and I am confident when pedaling hard, even out of the saddle I feel like I am locked to the pedals. So glad I got these.

Fits true to length, but the width and volume is a bit big. Velcro strap is a nice feature that really secures your foot. Really like how the cleats are recessed so you can walk normal.

the rime 2.0 are more comfortable

I read reviews that said that the main difference is the soles. I think the tongue in the 1.0 is different from the 2.0 too. The rime 2.0 shoes are more comfortable than the 1.0 shoes.

The fit is perfect, minimal flex with solid traction. At under 50 hours and just a little over a month, the sole is falling apart already. There's a newer version with Vibram sole that may perform better than these did. I hope these are flawed and covered under warranty.
