I bought these once I progressed past my slip on vans , I started putting miles down and upgraded to these , I ride a gravel bike that I average about 30 miles a day on commuting , shoes are great once you add in spikey pedals , feet stay planted due to the tread and flat bottoms, off bike they are regular shoes so you don’t look like a bike nerd click clacking around in your unicorn prancing clip less shoes , get these shoes and treat yourself to good pedals that’ll grab the bottom of these guys .
They fit with a wide toe hole, they have a great grip on my flat pedals, and are comfortable to walk as well as ride. I do trail work on our local trails, where hurricanes and other high winds cause many blockages. These shoes are much more comfortable than other shoes that caused blackened big toe nails.
The picture made it look like these were a bit wider but were not designed for anyone that actually has feet. Or at least a pinky toe. Are there actually Mtb shoes that are made in a foot shape?
