Comments about Giro Carbide Bike Shoes - Men's:
These shoes fit me well, and do a nice job when on the bike. They work well on the road, and for commuting, but have serious issues for MTB riding. I bought these in the summer, and for that they perform OK. Once conditions get slimy, forget it. Zero grip on damp rock, roots, damp soil. When I have to walk or carry the bike it is because conditions are too severe to ride. Those same conditions make these hard plastic soles dangerous to walk in. If these had a softer compound tread that gripped the ground I would give 5 stars, but as it is they are unacceptable. Good in dry climates, no good in wet climates!

Comments about Giro Carbide Bike Shoes - Men's:
These shoes are a great combination of price, firm construction, lightweight, and comfort. I am an avid mountain biker that had been looking around for a while for good mountain biking shoes in my size that didn't break the bank. This pair of shoes definitely fits the bill and, as a side note, offers some degree of selection in 1/2 European sizes (e.g., I purchased 45.5's). Lastly, the khaki colored shoes have a nice look to them.

Comments about Giro Carbide Bike Shoes - Men's:
When I bought these, I was heavily into riding dirt trails. The shoes cleaned off easily, and did well even when they got wet.
The nylon bottoms can be a bit slippery on flat walking surfaces like painted garages, but do fine on asphalt and concrete.
One thing that I am having a problem with is the wearing that is taking place on the screws at the front of the sole of the shoe. They are really taking a beating from walking around in them. The rest of the sole shows no wear at all.
Getting this type of shoe is definitely a benefit for distance riding, and with the good price point, this shoe is really well made.

Probably about the best cycling shoes I have ever owned. Would recommend buying the toe spikes to complete the system as well.

So far, so good! I bought these shoes to use on my crankbrothers Egg Beater 3 pedals, and they work very well together.
I had to use shims on the shoes because the tread was a tad bit too high for the Egg Beater 3. However, I haven't had any other issues.

Comments about Giro Carbide Bike Shoes - Men's:
Thus far, I have only used these shoes for spin class, and have not taken them out for any mountain or road biking (you can use mountain bike spikes with these). They replaced a seven year old pair of Shimano shoes.
I like the velcro straps, and time will tell how well they wear after continual use. I was unsure how well they would adjust, especially compared to laces, but the adjustments to my foot are perfect.
The sole has a great tradeoff between stiffness and weight, which seems to give me great power transfer throughout the pedal cycle.
I bought the khaki/brown combination, which seems to have caught the eyes of most of my cycling friends. They not only look good, but they perform!
