Superb Summer riding
Overall a excellent riding shoe. The hook and loop top band with ATOP lacing eliminated flapping laces and loops and makes on and off super simple. My feet tend to swell after a while in a the saddle. One or two notch turn of the knob releases the pressure but keeps everything snug. I normally wear a 11 to 11 1/2. I ordered a 12 based on others input about sizing. Perfect fit! So these run about a 1/2 or so size small than published size. Of course your choice/thickness of socks will also play into the equation. The sole narrows from the arch to the heel...which gives a strange walking impression. I have to take exception with some comments saying it is uncomfortable to walk in...to which I say it is a riding shoe, not a walking shoe. Just fine for stopping for fuel and the steps required to get a coffee. The sole is soft but firm and provides good arch support and non-skid-literally planted my foot in a oil slick (unintentional) at a intersection on hot tarmac-no slip what so ever. You can feel your foot position on the pegs, but it is not painful at all. I have seen no immediate need to replace the insoles. While riding, to me at least, it feels like you are just wearing socks and no shoes. The air flow is superb-better than my running shoes. The one real nit I have and as others have mentioned is the back loop. It is comically large for what it needed. I have had mine catch my kick-stand nib while coming to a stop-which promptly killed the bike since I was in gear. A nuisance/annoyance that could have manifested to tragic-but it didn't. I have since added a small dash if riggers tape to coral the errant loops. Overall, very, very happy with the purchase and use. Safe travels!Ver másVer menos
