Review & Important Size Info
I bought these shoes for cycle touring instead of carrying 2 pairs. They fit all my criteria1. Recessed cleats2. Have enough grip for wild camping and light trekking3. Subtle and fashionable enough to be worn around town without looking overly techieClipping In:I have never used recessed cleats before, but found them easy to use. They are probably a little bit more difficult to clip-in than my usual road bike shoes, but not much. As far as walking, the cleats do not scrape at all except if you hit and uneven surface, but for the most part no one will be aware that you are wearing cleats. Perfect.I use: Shimano A520 SPD Touring Pedals. These shoes work fine for clipped-in or clip-less pedalling.Normal Wear:The shoes have plenty of grip. I played a game of basketball in them just to break them in before my tour. No problems at all, no slippage. I found them more than comfortable enough for camping and casual walking.Fashion:Fashion wise, I think they are fine. I have to be honest and say I would prefer my normal road bike shoes for riding and my normal Converse shoes for casual wear. But they look decent overall.Sizing:I noticed that a lot of reviewers are mentioning that you need to go a size up with these shoes. But the real issue is that the Amazon size chart does not match the Giro one. For example, the Amazon chart reports that my 46 shoes are UK-12, but the chart of the Giro website reports that 46 is UK-11. I ordered UK-11 (46) as a I normally would and the fit is spot on.Misc:. They are nicely water resistant. I did get stuck in a big downpour, but if my feet were wet I did not notice it. The shoes dried quickly as others have mentioned.. They came back from my little cycle tour in excellent condition and seem well made.. I would definitely recommend these shoes for commuters and cycle tourists.. These are the best selling MTB shoes over at Evans, but are cheaper here.

sizing a little tight but good rigid shoes, and much safer on wet pavements
I cycle for leisure; big days out, trips to the pub etc. I don't like having to walk around in cycle shoes and sometimes just standing up in them can be lethal if the ground is wet/slippery. These have a Vibram sole unit (any kind of actual sole would be better than a smooth plastic plate), which seems pretty good, so I can walk around shops etc. I bought a pair of new genuine Shimano cleats and they fit well. They're not waterproof, but the water runs in from the top anyway: overshoes are the only way around that with most cycling shoes. Sizing is a bit tight, mainly in the width but they need to be snug on my feet for peddling, and seemed comfortable yesterday (40km and 600m climbing). They're not a multi activity shoe; IMO the sole would wear out far too quickly if you went hiking in them, but they are a pretty good compromise for me.On size: I'm a nine, but with wide feet so usually end up with a 10. These are 9.5, as 10 wasn't available, I'd say the length is pretty close to right but they are definitely not a wide fit. However, they lace up fine, are comfortable and don't move on my feet when I'm standing up climbing. Decent VFM for me.

Solid and Comfortable
I'm really happy with these after returning a different pair/model because they were too stiff and uncomfortable.These ones seem well made. The cleats were easy to fit and can be adjusted in every direction to cater for your most comfortable foot position on the pedals.My first ride was 22 miles and the shoes were great. They don't feel too clunky, didn't rub, no numb toes and the laces didn't come loose. My inner foot scuffed the crank arm a couple of times but I just need to adjust the cleat.They're comfortable to walk in. I walked along rocks atop a Moor, through town and all around a train station (incl stairs). They feel like basic trainers, not cycling shoes. Obviously the cleats catch on uneven rocky surfaces but you'd get that with any cycling shoe. I don't think they're suitable for hiking because they'd gum up with mud, more dry trail, paving, shops and cafes.I'm a UK 9.5 and ordered a 10. They're perfect for me.

Nice looking, functional but not for walking
Following all the posts on this shoe commenting on the size being too small I ordered a 9 for my 8.5 feet. This was a size 45 and was way too big! I sent them back and ordered the 8.5 which is EU size 43 and they fit perfectly. Nice shoes with a stiff sole and great for pedal pushing but I can’t see me walking much in them.

Definitely recommend!
I'm a size 6.5 (sometimes 7) UK and got a 41 which fits perfectly - make sure you use the Giro sizing guide and then get something approx 1/2 a size bigger;http://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/shoes/GIRO_shoe_size_charts_8_10.pdfReally good looking 'normal' sized shoe (some of the touring shoes have massively thick soles, these look just like normal trainers), very comfortable on and off the bike (so much so I'm not planning on taking another pair of shoes on a 6wk cycle tour), and company are excellent for customer service (quick replies, very helpful)

I am very please.. been through a lot of brands but I am happy with this set.. I have quite a wide toe-box and normally wear a size 45 shoe but I ordered a 47 and this has given me what I wanted. I also like the very simple, double strap, this allows me to wear thick soaks without any pinching. Whatever the outer material is, I find water just splashes off of it and that works for me. Would I recommend, well I will defo be buying another pair for spares and from a pricing point of view, Amazon seems to have got things mixed up as the price for a pair of size 11UK was £20 more than a pair of size 47EU and yet they are basically the same size, so I ordered the 47's.

Great shoes, size up
Great shoes, my partner recommends going up half a size as they are a little tight on the length, they feel OK when cycling but tight when walking.

Nice shoes but are not in UK sizes.
Overall nice shoes and comfortable but they are not made in UK sizes. A UK 10 is not a 45 European size, a 45 is closer to a size 11. The shoes are not a 45 either as they are short for my size 9 wideish (43) feet, I normally buy a UK 10. They just touch the end of my toes but are OK to wear. As there is 1/3" between the standard UK sizes these shoes should have 2/3" clearance.

Great shoe for platform or clip in pedals!
These shoes are great for mountain biking and trail riding. My foot is 27cm and size 10.5 fits perfectly. They are comfortable to walk and ride with. I am using Shimano PD-EH500 pedals so I can either clip in or ride with the platform side of the pedal. These shoes accommodate both perfectly. The sole is made of a harder rubber compound but not too hard so you won’t slide around. They seem durable as well and i like that they have an elastic to tuck in the laces. I highly recommend these shoes for the price they are at.
