SHIMANO Unisex Zapatillas Sh-mx100Cycling Shoe

A little smaller than expected but all and all good for the price.

The MX-1 is a low cost, no frills shoe. Looks: Not so much. These shoes look like a cross between bedroom slippers and gardening clogs. Style is not the strong suit. That said, they're great for beginners, casual cyclists on a budget, and for those with wider feet. Sizing: I wear a 12.5 US, and typically al 46 or 47 in European shoes. When I measured my feet with a Sidi sizing tool at the local bike shop, my toes landed between the 46 and 47 mark, my instep between 45 and 46 as shown. Width is between E and EE, slightly wider than "normal". Selecting a 12.5 men's in the MX-1 brought a shoe marked as 48 European. The is pretty close to perfect for my feet. Toes have just a tiny bit of space, heel is not loose, and my instep is snug but not pinched. I've only done about 50Km in them so far, and they've been comfortable. The only exception is that I have thick, tall toes and my big toenails are pushed down a bit. I don't think the plastic front will stretch much, so this may be a problem. Potential drawbacks: Serious cyclists might not like all the elastic on top, and probably will be disappointed by the lack of "tuneability" in the single Y strap. Those who ride in weather will get wet socks from the elastic cloth and perforations. Summary: I bought these as a backup to my old trusted Sidis, and for the money I think they're just fine.

Good enough, comfortable and work well with cleats. I just wish they made a wide option in sizes. I normally wear a wide for road shoes, went up half a size on this one to make sure I could fit in these since they are not wide.

I've been doing metric centuries for a little over a year now and had resisted going to clips. I got the great advice to try these shoes and the hybrid clips that allow you to ride with the clips or regular shoes. The shoes were comfortable for the first ride and my insoles fit perfectly. I've picked up a couple miles per hour in speed as a result. So glad I made this purchase.

Ordered a 10.5 US twice. Received a 10 US twice. Ordered an 11 US received a 10.5 US. I guess you have to order a half size minimum above your actual shoe size. Review order for proper size when placing the order. As other reviews have stated these are no frills beginner/spin class focused shoes, the single elastic hook and loop strap leaves very little ability to modify fit.
