Very light weight & comfortable
I bought these because my last shoes were difficult to get into after a long running stage because my feet would swell, also after reading other peoples positive reviews. Very good shoe, easy to get into. I really like the venting at the front which keeps my feet cool on hotter days & drys out quicker after water crossing. Very light weight!

Ditched them
Used SPD clips for years. These shoes just refused to un clip! Adjusted everything, eventually went back to old shoes with same clips and they worked fine. Clip would not hold in shoe, ended up going off line and being useless. Plenty of good shoes out there.. These aren't one of them!

Let down by poor build quality
I'm on my second set of these shoes. The first set the studs fell out after a few hundred miles (if that), with virtually no walking (other than front door <> road). Now on my second set and one of the front studs has fallen apart.
For shoes which cost over £100, I find this really bad.
Shoes are comfortable and light enough (and seeningly getting lighter each day).

So comfortable I've given up on road shoes!
My first pair of shoes were Shimano and I was very impressed with how comfortable they were, since then I've had Diadora, Sidi and Specialized shoes, but none of them are as good as the Shimano ones.
They definitely give Sidi shoes a great competition and come in significantly cheaper for the same quality.

Great pair of shoes
They look really good and also good for a little walk if you want to get off your bike for a bit. They appear very well made and comfortable.

Great
Excellent fit and very comfortable. The sizing was just right for me. Nice and stiff in the sole.

really great shoes
Have used these for a couple of months now. Nice and light, very comfortable. I have narrow feet but these are a great fit. I love wearing them. Nice and stiff, feel great on the bike.
The are not very wind and weather proof though. i have mostly been wearing them in winter so need thick socks or overshoes to keep feet dry and warm.

excellent first time shoe for clipping in
Very good strong build quality to this shoe, yet didn't take any time at all to break in. had no issues fitting the clips, stay in place well, very easy to walk in. Mostly use for road cycling but as I'm new to clipping in I didn't want to go for the full SPD-SL type. The design of these shoes offer road racing style with MTB clips. Great choice and I would consider Shimano when I do go for SPD-SL cleats.

Great quality and will last awhile
These are my first cleats, not the first i have used though, very good quality and endurable.

Very comfortable shoe
An extremely comfortable and lightweight shoe. Highly recommended.
I rode for 4 hours with these straight out of the box. Very happy.

Great fit, good value
Good fitting shoe with plenty of toe room. SIzing for me was one EU size larger than i normally take. Far lighter, firmer and more comfortable than previous (cheaper) shoes I have had, just wish i had bought these long ago. Just make the ride so much more pleasurable. Can be adjusted to "tight" without being uncomfortable.

Great MTB shoe.
Comfortable, stiff and hard wearing. Great shoe for a reasonable price.

Cyclocross racing shoes
The buckle and strapping system works great.
The shoe is not as stiff in the sole as I would prefer and I do feel the flex under foot when putting the power to the pedals. This does make them a bit easier to run with for CX
I do use them for cyclocross and I have missed a pedal or two when re-mounting and the material on the inside step of the shoe has scratched very easily from the pedal exposing the material underneath the black upper part of the shoe.
The soles have seem to have held up to the wear and tear of racing.
Compared to Shimano Road Shoes these seem to fit big.

Lighter, stiffer prettier.
Which is basically all you need in anything cycling related.

Very happy
I chose these shoes to replace my hiking boot style shimano spd shoes as I now ride road bikes more often.As most people seem to have done I ordered in a size up from my usual "training shoe"size and the fit is bang on. As my old shimano's were a size47 I ordered the same again, which seems to point to the sizing being the same across the shimano range.
The shoes look similar to road shoes but have the all the practicalities of a Mtb shoe and don't seem to weigh much more once the weight of the bigger 3 bolt cleat of a road shoe is taken into consideration .
There is plenty of adjustment ,they a very comfy and are stiff enough for me to notice an improvement in power transfer.
