Size up 1/2 size from giro fit chart. They run narrow/smaller toe box so if u have fat/wide feet prob not the best option. Soles nice and stiff to put power down. Spd engagement/disengagement flawless. Light, breathable, and stylish. Tread tall enough to not clank around on the metal spd cleats too bad which is nice touch. I use 3 times a week or so...10mi runs...15mph average at lical park for exercise and i live them. Maybe better competition oriented gravel racers out there if thats your thing but i think perfect.
These are some excellent bike shoes! Bought as a more stylish and more performant SPD shoe than some clunkier ones I was using, but it turns out they're also just as comfortable while weighing less, being more stiff, and looking more dope! I was worried about the classic laces originally, but after several rides it doesn't bother me at all, they stay pretty tight and the aesthetics are super nice.A bonus feature is they're less clicky/grindy when walking than most SPD shoes. Not totally silent, there are still occasional noises on some surfaces, but less than any of the 4 other pairs of SPD shoes I've had experience with though.I didn't like the insoles they came with so I swapped them for broken-in insoles from another pair of shoes. The original ones might be fine after breaking in though.
really great shoe! not narrow for a normal foot. if you buy wide shoes then buy wide bike shoes. you can see thru the mesh, thats how airy they are. the inside is swede and breaks in very nice. i wore 2 pairs of wet sox the first 2 rides to break them in and just sweat after that, about 150 miles and they disappear from your feet. there is a strap on the tounge for the lace loops, but tucking in is just as comfy. if ur on the the fence, get them and ull be happy, true to size btw. im always an 11.5, got a 46, perf.
Measured 45 at LBS. These were 46 and fit but a bit narrow. Got stretch devices to widen.
Very fashionable, comfortable, cool as they breathe. I am able to walk in and out of my house with no ground contact from the cleat. Great show so far.
I bought these for a gift for a friend after buying a pair for myself.Have used them for about a year, very comfortable.I wear 11-1/2 D, bought the 45s, perfect fit and most of all absolutely love cool, dry feet due to the open weave. Very nice shoe!
I have used these in spin class and on the road. They are very comfortable, very light and the knit fabric provides good ventilation.
Shoes look good, not as awesome as the Empire but they are a good looking shoe. Found the carbon plate to be pretty stiff and didn’t notice much flex while pedaling. After about 10 miles started developing hot spots and around 18 miles I started to develop foot pain. I believe the foot api. Can be alleviated by changing out the insole. Very breathable.
