I tried these on at my local REI store and was torn between these and a lace-up pair. I also wanted a shoe that I could walk in with some ease. What sold me on these was that I found I could adjust the straps to fit my feet better than with the lace-up(I still would like to get a lace-up pair with flat bottoms)(my foot is a smidge wider than the other). I also found I could walk with ease(ok a little clunky, but not bad) in these.I tried them on a short 10-mile ride in city traffic and they felt good. They don't look fancy, they look like your basic bike shoe. I did add reflective tape to the back of the heels just to be seen better in the dark.My main use will be commuting and long road rides(under 50 miles).

I have narrow feet and these fit me better than the Specialized shoes I had been wearing (the Specialized are wider in the toe box). Maybe not good for wide feet but I'm very pleased with the fit. The soles are stiff which I like as well. I have so little power left that I like to feel that all of it is going into the pedals. :) They are comfortable for walking around at food stops on rides or in the parking lot before and after rides. Perhaps not my choice for a 5 mile hike but that's not what I bought them for. I bought these without the Boa fasteners on purposes as I have seen a lot of comments about the dial breaking. Not many moving parts with Velcro so hoping they last a long time.

I was in desperate need of a new pair of MTB shoes, as my old Mavic's bit the dust on a ride and the entire sole on one shoe just came off. I was prepared to spend upwards of $200 on a new pair, but I needed them fast for an up-coming ride. I wanted a BOA fit, or latching system like my old shoes. I went into my local REI, and the selection was not as good as it is online, but I could not wait. I tried on a few more expensive pairs, but they didn't fit well, then I decided to try on these Shimano's. The fit was quite nice, it was stiff where it needed to be, and flexible as well, as I often do a bit of hike-a-bike. It being REI, I decided to get them and if I didn't like them I'd just bring them back. After 4 rides in these shoes I am 100% happy with them.

This totally proves you don't have to spend a fortune to get a good quality shoe. No fancy lacing system, just some good velcro which holds tightly, and they don't come lose. They clean up well after they get all muddy. I'm super happy with these, and I saved over $100.

If you are looking at getting into clipless like I was 2 years ago this an amazing start. Cheap and reliable, I would use a torque wrench on your cleats because I found out the hard way that you can over tighten and snap the bolt (my fault not the shoes). I have bad circulation to my feet, these kept out a lot of water but at the same time aired out any that got in pretty fast keeping my feet warm. I own 2 pairs one for colder weather and I want to wear multiple socks and one for summer and light socks, great for walking around off the bike with good grip compared to other gravel shoes.
These were purchased as a comparison in fit in quality to some pricey MTB shoes made with carbon. The difference in not having a BOA fit system, at least initially, does not inconvenience me in fitting the pair. As long as the velcro straps do not slip, which is possible over time, the fit is great. The sizing was exact in my needs and compared well with the expensive pair. The cleats are Crank Brothers zero float with a single shim. This setup proved great for me as walking to and from the bike did not drag the cleat and when I clipped in, I forget I'm using them. The comfort at the end of the ride was still there. When I want a replacement pair of MTB shoes, I will probably look at these again and definitely at what Shimano is offering as the experience was ... MoreThese were purchased as a comparison in fit in quality to some pricey MTB shoes made with carbon.

This shoe is badly designed and a poor value. It is no excuse that it is relatively cheap and intended for beginners who don’t know better. REI used to weed out junk like this and find true value products for members. The material the straps are made from is too thick and inflexible making them hard to adjust. The top strap and the top of the shoe comes too far back, pressing on the tendon creating pain that increases the farther you cycle. It is a medium wide shoe front and back and cannot be adjusted for narrow feet or heels. The rubber on both sides of the cleat almost keeps the cleat from scarring floors, but does make it harder to clip in. Spend more and get a good shoe you can use for years.
I bought these shoes when they were on sale. They fit really well. I normally wear 42 normal shoes, and 42 works for me for these shoes as well. They got good ventilation and a little bit waterproof as well. Great deal!
I’m a US10.5 without wide feet. These fit well and snug. I went with a 44 and feel just a bit of pressure on my big toe when walking. But lunging, squating, movements pushing a bike it is relieved. Great fit and the platform snaps way better than the MX100 below these. Those feel like a brick.
I tested the XC100 having tried the XC300 (which didn't work for me).While the XC300 fit well (but had a poor BOA system) the XC100 didn't fit my foot anywhere nearly as comfortably. I'm a 44 in the XC300 and other cycling shoes, but the 44 with these shoes felt very wide. I had to tighten the velcro straps as much as possible to get a tight fit, and to stop my heel lifting. But pulling the straps so tight caused the upper material to bunch up, creating a pressure point at the top of my food. I tried the next size down, and the width felt better but my toes hit the end of the shoe.Maybe this shoe is better for people with wider feet, but it didn't work for me. I recommend trying them on before buying.
I have used Shimano MTB shoes exclusively for decades because they have always fit my wide American feet perfectly and last a long time. When my most recent pair wore out, I ordered these with confidence thinking they would fit just as all the previous pairs had. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Shimano must have changed to European fit somewhere along the way. I ordered the same size I have used for years (43), but these shoes were too narrow and shallow. The velcro barely connected over my arch (less than 1/2"). It's a shame, too, because I really like these shoes. I do recommend them if you have narrow feet. They seem light for an MTB shoe, and well-built.
