4.5
These shoes are good quality. The top right shoe ladder lock strap can be a bit fiddly to connect but the shoes are comfortable, the ratcheting lever to pull the top strap tighter is cool and also works well. They ride well, no laces to catch the chain ring, are easy to walk in compared to my old Sidi cleated shoes and I can even wear them in my Soul Red Miata (see photo).Determining proper sizing was a gamble. From the buyer reviews, It appeared that the sizing ran about 1 size small for wide feet so I took a gamble and ordered a 10.5 size (I wear a 9.5 EE shoe). They fit fine when they showed up.If I had ordered "true to size" 9.5 size per the manufacturer, I'd be sending them back right now. The seller ordering information for size says "If your feet is fatter or wider than normal, please choose a bigger size" - that's an exact quote with the grammar error from the seller. But how much bigger? 1/2 a size, 1 full size, 2 sizes? Not helpful data from the seller.I posted a sizing question on the Amazon product page for this shoe and included my foot length and width in inches per the sellers instructions hoping for a reply from the seller. Instead, I got a goofy reply from the Amazon customer universe telling me to buy the 4E size. There is NO 4E size, only shoe sizes like 9, 10 etc. I almost didn't buy these shoes because of the sizing confusion and lack of response from the seller to my posted question.I've got to knock one star off for the limited and inaccurate sizing data from the seller, their lack of reply to my posted sizing question, limited availability of sizes and colors (COVID?) and the fiddly top strap on the right shoe. It should be a 1.5 star deduction but I can't do that on Amazon and the actual shoe quality is good so I rounded up because these are nice shoes, look cool and are well made. Hope this helps!I purchased the variation called "new black" (July 2022) with one Velcro strap towards the front of and a BOA-style lacing system continuing up to the ankle. I wear either 11 or 11.5 US in most major shoe brands. For these I purchased the 11US (46EUR) and the fit is perfect. The shoe is stiff and lightweight which is exactly what I want when riding a mountain bike with platform pedals. About a year ago I ordered an 11 in one of the "older" styles offered by Santic and they were comically undersized. Happy they fixed the sizing issue. And they look legit as well!These shoes are great for cycling!!! First, these shoes are for flat pedal riding. There’s no clipless underneath the shoe. They look sharp. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on them. The sole is a lot harder than a normal shoe, which gives you more power to the pedal and lets you pedal longer without getting tired or uncomfortable. I’ve put 400-500 miles on these shoes no problem. I mainly use them for commuting, but I recently started doing ubereats as a side hussle. I’ve biked 8 hours for a shift no problems. Well I can’t say no problems, my legs kill me, but less than doing it with tennis shoes. The locking mechanism seems durable, and is a ratchet type mechanism. Ratchet it to keep increasing tightness on your foot until you reach the preferred tightness. I also ride flat pedal on my road bike, and these shine there too, I usually switch to boots when it gets cold, so I don’t know how these do in cold weather, but they’ve been pretty comfortable in 100 degree San Antonio weather. The only downside is I wouldn’t want to wear them as a normal shoe. They’re fine to walk around in for a couple hours, but they’re not going to be quite as comfortable as a normal shoe. 10/10 from a cyclist!!Tight fit, good stiffness, easy to walk, I didn’t like the rubber, it’s not as sticky, the shoe slides from the pedal, I had to pull a little bit the stud on the pedal, If the rubber was more sticky I would rate it 4 starsGot these shoes for better cycling support on the pedals. Novice rider since Panademic. Sneakers are too wide for my pedals and not ready to have shoes that lock onto pedals ?These fit perfectly and have helped improve my performance! Had to figure out sizing for a woman. They fit well, not super narrow. They adjust nicely like the locked shoes. Gave 4 STAR because I notice that after I tighten the shoe, it tends to start widening a bit on it's own, otherwise, would have been 5 STAR.Shoes arrived damaged. Not from shipping or manufacturers, but they were well used and broke in. They had even appeared to have been crashed in and one of the buckles was chewed up and did not operate at all. Shame on the distributor for taking in a return and placing them back in circulation. The good news is Amazon has a very easy return policy and had me a new pair shipped out the same day! I ordered the shoes 1 1/2 sizes bigger, and they were still tight as far as the width goes, but they will stretch out, so if you have a wide foot, beware of that concern. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase.Seguí la tabla de medidas de los zapatos y me medí como indican y el tamaño fue el ideal, me gusto mucho el color el modelo y el material el ajuste súper cómodoFor cycling
