Disappointed. Was really excited to try out my new Peloton bike with these shoes. Got them in the mail, attempted to attach the Look Delta cleats that are needed for the Peloton, and discovered that on one of the shoes, the holes that are drilled in the sole for the cleat screws were drilled wrong, and the threading inside for the screw is too deep, meaning the screw from the cleats can't reach the threads and attach to the shoes, so they are pretty much useless. Returning, and looking for a different pair. One of the only brands that actually fit my size 13.5 foot too, which makes it even more disappointing. Now I have to wait another few days before I get to try my brand new stationary bike.

So, I received these shoes after returning the Nike Super Reps for being too narrow even in the men’s sizing. I ordered these and upon taking the right shoe out of the box and putting it in my foot, was SO impressed by the quality as well as the fit. It was wide enough for my foot while still being supportive and snug as a cycling shoe should be.Then, I took the left shoe out and immediately noticed a loose metal jangling. I thought it was the delta cleat, however after tightening, loosening, completely removing and then tightening again I’ve realized there is something in the hard heel of the shoe that is causing the noise, and unfortunately there is no way to get inside of the shoe to fix it. It doesn’t affect the fit of the shoe at all, however any motion with my foot in the shoe is going to cause it to loudly jingle which I imagine will be extremely loud and noticeable once I’m on my bike. I can’t find anything online about what this could possibly be. I will revise my review if I find a solution as I really do love the fit and comfort of the shoe. Just not sure I can get past sounding like one of Michael Flatley’s back up riverdancers.

I’ve never purchased bike shoes, so I don’t have a comparison, but I think these work fine for a spin bike and the price was reasonable compared to others. We recently bought a Peloton bike. My wife took the pair that came with the bike (in accessory credit). I was looking for a less expensive option considering how much we’re paying for the Peloton. These were $45 less than Peloton’s shoes, but seem similar to me. They seem to run a bit small. I thought they’d be a bit too big on me, but they just fit. The width seems okay because the Velcro can be easily loosened. My foot runs a bit wide (not EEE) and these fit fine in width. So overall I’m perfectly happy with this purchase for a spin bike, but I can’t opine on real bike use or otherwise compare them to other spin shoes.

We recently bought a Peloton, and they did not make large enough shoes for my husband (size 13/14). I bought him these and they fit as expected and didn't require any breaking in. He wore them right away without any issues or rubbing. You do have to buy the cleats to screw in the bottom - they are very easy to install into these shoes.

High quality cycling shoe - really impressed. Great material and build.The only hang-up I had was when I went to install the SPD cleats. This shoe fits both SPD (2 bolt) and SPD-SL (3 bolt) cleats. When I initially tried to adjust the SPD bolts in the center of the shoe, they didn't want to move and made a sticky sound when I tried to move them like they were being held in place by sticky glue-like material from inside the shoe.I wasn't sure if they were supposed to move and didn't want to force them so I reached out to customer service to confirm and got a prompt response from Nick:"if you lightly screw the SPD cleats into the base plate you should be able to adjust them just fine."... "Okay yea they are somewhat tape into place in case you are using the SPD-SL or three cleats. But yea they are designed to move for SPD use. "After lightly screwing the cleats into the SPD bolts to get some leverage and forcing them up and down for a few minutes, I was able to finally move them into place. Not a seamless experience from that standpoint.Other than the hang-up with getting the SPD bolts to adjust, great experience with the shoe itself. High quality built and material, very comfortable. Highly recommend! 👍
