Fastening Strap Came off within 2 months
I've had these for less than two months and the main strap holding my foot in has come loose from the shoe. The stitching either failed or was not done properly. I don't even know who to complain to but figured a review is best start. My last pair of MTB bike shoes lasted for 15 years!
Not one to leave reviews but...
Wanted to give some insight for anyone buying shoes online as it is somewhat of a gamble in regards to the fit. I wear a size 10 US Men's and went with the size 45 EU (10.5 US). I'm pleasantly surprised with the fit and comfort of these shoes. They meet my expectations of form and function. The price is spot on for any rider looking to commute or do small tours/weekends away. I've gotten them wet and muddy on the trails and have yet to experience any waterlogged socks. The perfect shoe for any casual trail rider. I plan on doing small tours/bikepacking ventures with these on my feet.
Great while they lasted
Bottom plate cracked after a year of light to moderate use. Overall strong shoes with poor build quality
Good basic shoe
A good basic shoe, no complaints. I use Shimano SPD M8120 pedals and they snap in and out fine, as I would expect. I’m usually a size 43 EU but these are 42 and fit perfect, while the 43 I tried on was noticeably larger than I’d like. It does not have a traditional tongue but overlapping sides which does not cause issues. However, where what be the tongue contacts the inside of crease of my ankles, I do feel the contact. It doesn’t hurt or abrade after a moderate ride but, a longer tongue that rolls over would feel a bit better. The shoes are new and they may break in. The sole is fine for traction and walking.
Good basic shoes with narrow fit
I have narrow feet and these fit me better than the Specialized shoes I had been wearing (the Specialized are wider in the toe box). Maybe not good for wide feet but I'm very pleased with the fit. The soles are stiff which I like as well. I have so little power left that I like to feel that all of it is going into the pedals. :) They are comfortable for walking around at food stops on rides or in the parking lot before and after rides. Perhaps not my choice for a 5 mile hike but that's not what I bought them for. I bought these without the Boa fasteners on purposes as I have seen a lot of comments about the dial breaking. Not many moving parts with Velcro so hoping they last a long time.
Great shoe for the price.
I was in desperate need of a new pair of MTB shoes, as my old Mavic's bit the dust on a ride and the entire sole on one shoe just came off. I was prepared to spend upwards of $200 on a new pair, but I needed them fast for an up-coming ride. I wanted a BOA fit, or latching system like my old shoes. I went into my local REI, and the selection was not as good as it is online, but I could not wait. I tried on a few more expensive pairs, but they didn't fit well, then I decided to try on these Shimano's. The fit was quite nice, it was stiff where it needed to be, and flexible as well, as I often do a bit of hike-a-bike. It being REI, I decided to get them and if I didn't like them I'd just bring them back. After 4 rides in these shoes I am 100% happy with them. This totally proves you don't have to spend a fortune to get a good quality shoe. No fancy lacing system, just some good velcro which holds tightly, and they don't come lose. They clean up well after they get all muddy. I'm super happy with these, and I saved over $100.
First real bike shoe
I tried these on at my local REI store and was torn between these and a lace-up pair. I also wanted a shoe that I could walk in with some ease. What sold me on these was that I found I could adjust the straps to fit my feet better than with the lace-up(I still would like to get a lace-up pair with flat bottoms)(my foot is a smidge wider than the other). I also found I could walk with ease(ok a little clunky, but not bad) in these. I tried them on a short 10-mile ride in city traffic and they felt good. They don't look fancy, they look like your basic bike shoe. I did add reflective tape to the back of the heels just to be seen better in the dark. My main use will be commuting and long road rides(under 50 miles). I wear a size 11 and I think my feet are tad wide, the size 47 fits well. Again, I think the straps help with adjusting the fit a bit.
Poor design - poor value
This shoe is badly designed and a poor value. It is no excuse that it is relatively cheap and intended for beginners who don’t know better. REI used to weed out junk like this and find true value products for members. The material the straps are made from is too thick and inflexible making them hard to adjust. The top strap and the top of the shoe comes too far back, pressing on the tendon creating pain that increases the farther you cycle. It is a medium wide shoe front and back and cannot be adjusted for narrow feet or heels. The rubber on both sides of the cleat almost keeps the cleat from scarring floors, but does make it harder to clip in. Spend more and get a good shoe you can use for years.
New Shoes!
Replaced on old pair of Shimano MTB shoes that were 6-7 yrs. old and finally disintegrated. These work great for my needs. Typically go on a 10-20 mile ride twice a week on MTB and mix it in with 1 or 2 road rides. This are very comfortable and allow for the proper amount of independent adjustment with the 3 straps. A little different from my previous pair which on the top was a ratchet closure but these seem to provide everything I need. Thanks!
On The Money
These were purchased as a comparison in fit in quality to some pricey MTB shoes made with carbon. The difference in not having a BOA fit system, at least initially, does not inconvenience me in fitting the pair. As long as the velcro straps do not slip, which is possible over time, the fit is great. The sizing was exact in my needs and compared well with the expensive pair. The cleats are Crank Brothers zero float with a single shim. This setup proved great for me as walking to and from the bike did not drag the cleat and when I clipped in, I forget I'm using them. The comfort at the end of the ride was still there. When I want a replacement pair of MTB shoes, I will probably look at these again and definitely at what Shimano is offering as the experience was positive using these.
