Questions & Answers

Is there a picture of the SPD installed on the bottom somewhere?

I'll make an effort to include one in my evaluation.

How does this product perform in the gym and on the bike?

I wouldn't wear them inside if you don't have to because the clip can scrape on floors if worn at the wrong angle.

I used to purchase shoes in the size 10 1/2 D. Because these are difficult to come by, I buy 11 m, which is a little too big for cycling. Is a 45 going to be too narrow for my wide foot?

I'm a size 10 with a wide toe box preference. There were no issues with these shoes fitting me.

Selected User Reviews For SHIMANO CT500 Everyday Cycling Shoe

This is a genuine hybrid cycling shoe
5/5

I bought these shoes without knowing that cycling shoes were different from regular athletic shoes, but then the clipless pedals arrived. These had the best reviews of the lower-cost cycling shoes, so I gave them a try, despite the fact that I didn't think they'd fit. However, because other reviews stated that they ran large, I went with the appropriate size for my feet (normally between a 9 and a 9. 5). (5) and ten). First and foremost, these shoes fit perfectly, with a little room in the toe, which is exactly how I prefer my shoes to fit. Despite how narrow they appear in person, the width was exactly right. Given the stiffness of the soles, the walking comfort was actually quite good. Now, because the Shimano pedals I purchased came with cleats, I quickly installed them and began practicing clipping and unclipping on the pedals. br>My first ride went smoothly, and despite the steep learning curve, I quickly gained confidence. I decided to wear these all day at work after my first ride to work, which was only 2 miles. Now, I won't say these shoes are unbearable; they can be worn even while standing for long periods of time; however, I keep a second pair of sneakers at work to be more comfortable. br>Last week, I was finally able to take them on a long ride (21 miles with 1500 feet of elevation gain). Previously, when I rode with regular platform pedals and sneakers, the pressure exerted on the pedals would cause my feet to lose circulation, and this is where these shoes really shine. These shoes, however, are not like that. They were completely comfortable the entire time, and I had no problems with circulation in my feet. It just goes to show that the people who design these kinds of shoes are extremely talented. I can't wait to go on a 30-mile or longer ride with these. The compliments I've received while wearing these shoes have been an added bonus. Although it may sound cliched, the other reviews on this subject are spot on. I only wish these shoes were a little less expensive, but only time will tell if you get what you pay for with these. I also wish I had purchased these shoes sooner because I will never return to platform pedals after switching to clipless pedals on my bike.

On and off the bike, this is a must-have! When I don't feel like wearing my Sidi shoes on a casual ride or running errands, this is a great alternative
5/5

I'm not a big fan of changing out my pedals all the time, and I prefer to wear flat-soled shoes. When using clipless pedals, wearing shoes with soles is inconvenient. These shoes are ideal - they're both stylish and practical. They're comfortable right out of the box, easier to walk around in than studded mountain bike shoes, and they match perfectly with business and casual attire, making them ideal for bike commuting and light day-to-day wear. touring. The reflective laces add a nice touch to the casual sneaker look. I bought them in size 45 EU and they were a perfect fit for me (I'm a size 10). 5 US).

Bike Shoes with a Strange Appearance are a Great Alternative
4/5

These were purchased to go with my commuter bike's SPD pedals, and they are both comfortable and durable. I wanted something that didn't look like it had been delivered by a flying saucer, and these were perfect. br>br>The only flaw I see is that the blue suede shows road dirt very well. With a stiff brush, however, it can be removed. br>br>I'm pleased with mine; I've had them for two months and have used them every day. If you get these, make sure you have cleats or buy a pair if you don't already have them. Although they are inexpensive, they do not include shoes.

Commuting comfort with cleated cuffs that fit well and look great
4/5

It's very relaxing. It's exactly like me. br>br>This shoe model does not have the cleat adjustments that I would like. I've started putting my foot behind the ball of my foot and pedaling more casually. This isn't a big deal for city cycling because it lowers the risk of injury and makes unclipping a little easier, but I'd like more power!.

Years ago, when I was riding with the old-school, I had a pair of great-looking shoes for a reasonable price
5/5

Look clip-on style I was uncomfortable with the amount of effort required to get out of pedals quickly. br>br>About a year ago, I purchased a Catrike recumbent trike. SPD was included in the package. pedals that go together After a few instances of my feet slipping off the pedals, I decided to invest in a pair of SPD shoes and give it a shot. I no longer consider taking a ride without them. br>br>Most other SPD shoes I've seen were (to put it mildly) unattractive; these, on the other hand, could pass for regular sneakers, and unlike the old Look clips, you can walk normally in them.

They are small enough to fit in nicely with large toe clips
5/5

They're comfortable enough to walk in for a while. These shoes are more durable than a typical trainer and can be worn with or without cleats. They are small enough to fit in nicely with large toe clips. Without cleats, you can walk comfortably for short periods of time; with cleats, they are recessed, but you should still avoid walking on them for long periods of time because they grind.

I've Never Worn a More Comfortable Cycling Shoe
5/5

This shoe is extremely comfortable and functional. It's by far the most comfortable cycling outfit I've ever worn. The ability to walk on a paved surface is useful in a variety of situations. I'll find it difficult to justify wearing a traditional cycling shoe again as a city commuter shoe.

An excellent casual cycling shoe! This is an excellent match
5/5

With a fairly stiff sole, this is a good solid cycling shoe. Excellent for indoor cycling or riding a hybrid bike, with a slightly small fit that is mostly true to size and no issues walking around off the bike. Overall, a very good casual cycling shoe. I wish there were more colors available. patterns. In any case, I'd strongly advise a friend to try it!.
