 Cycling shoes in disguise July 15, 2010
Jennifer Sopchockchai (Dover, MA United States)
I like em. I dont have anything else to add except the sizing issue. The reviews scared me into buying a shoe that was slightly too large for me. I normally wear size 10 and the 45s are slightly too big. I think the 44s would have been perfect.
The Shoe is great, Amazon's sizing is off May 4, 2010

This is a great shoe. Light weight, looks like it would be comfortable and it's reasonably priced. The only thing is that Amazon's size matrix is way off. According to Amazon the shoe sizes break down into the following matrix:
EU ----- US Size
38 ----- 5
39 ----- 5
39 ----- 6
40 ----- 7
41 ----- 8
42 ----- 9
43 ----- 10
44 ----- 11
45 ----- 12
46 ----- 13
47 ----- 14
48 ----- 15
49 ----- 16
According to the manufacturer the shoe should have the following size matrix:
EU ----- US Size
39 ----- 6.25
40 ----- 7
41 ----- 7.75
42 ----- 8.5
43 ----- 9.25
44 ----- 10
45 ----- 10.75
46 ----- 11.5
47 ----- 12.25
48 ----- 13
49 ----- 14
Please don't make the same mistake I did and order the size according to Amazon and be forced to pay $5.00 to ship it back to them. Order according to the above matrix which is also available on the manufacturer's web site.
I will buy these shoes again but I will be buying a 48 instead of a 46.

These are sized small, so recommend getting a size larger and wider than you'd normally buy.
Big improvement... October 16, 2009

Went from standard pedals to Shimano clips & this shoe has been great. Even with the cleats it is easy to walk around & its materials & venting make for a cool & comfortable ride. Big improvement over flip-flops!
Great shoes but run VERY small. September 23, 2009

This is a very nice pair of shoes. They are well designed for a recreational rider that would like to ride most of the time but still be able to walk normally when you arrive at a location and do a little sight seeing on the way there.
However, they run VERY small. I normally wear a 9 1/2 or 10 in US sizes. I ordered a size 44 EU which compares to an 11 US according to the chart. It is very small. With the laces completely relaxed, my toes hits the end of the shoe. I'm going to try a 13. Maybe it will be my lucky number.
