      Comments about Shimano M088 Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's:

      I wanted a shoe that REI carried and I really wanted to like this shoe but the sole just wasn't stiff enough. I ride a singlespeed but am no hammerhead crazy racer-type. I think would be perfect for someone who is newer to clip-less pedals or is upgrading from a more casual shoe. They do have a lot going for them as they are roomy, breathe well, and are at a great price point for a buckle shoe. But for me the flimsy sole is a deal breaker. I'm not married to any one brand but I must be used to Specialized shoes (which apparently have a much stiffer sole).

        Comments about Shimano M088 Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's:

        I was back and forth between the gyros and these. Couldn't have made a better selection for the price. The sole is definitely sturdy. I've been riding in them about x3 a week for 2 months now. Shoes haven't lost their touch. I like Shimanos rachet system, its always secure and hasn't come loose. My old M161's were just as solid. The shoe really didn't need a break in period. Its light, durable and breaths easy.

          The fit seems a bit smaller, but the next size up was too big.

              Comments about Shimano M088 Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's:

              I"ve had these shoes a month now. I ride 2-3 times a week at 10-16 miles. I usually where a 9.5 shoe size and went with the 43eu which is just slightly under 9 on the size chart. The shoe fits my foot like a glove and is the first shoe that makes my foot feel like a part of the bike. The glass fiber reinforcement is great and keeps the shoe sturdy. I got the shoe with the member discount so it helped with the price. But you are definitely getting your money's worth. I highly recommend this shoe, you will not be disappointed.

                Comments about Shimano M088 Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's:

                I got these shoes because I wanted something that looked sporty enough on the bike but that I could wear walking into work or the bar without slipping around or looking ridiculous. These shoes are perfect. They look good when out for a long weekend ride, but don't attract unwanted attention when walking.
                Also, I like the precision fit that the buckle provides.
