Shimano SH-SD501 Cycling Sandal

I ordered these sandals at a friend's recommendation. We cycled together for 2 weeks in 100+ temperatures. While my feet were miserably stuffed into cycling shoes, hers were happily open to the breeze. For my next trip, I was equipped with these sandals. What a difference! Instead of being constricted in a hard shoe, my feet had room to breathe. And yes, I probably gave up a little in performance, but the trade-off for comfort was well worth it!

Good construction, comfortable, we ride in Florida & it�s hot. Much cooler than bike shoes.

Easy to walk in off the bike.

Okay I hated the idea of riding with sandals. Unfortunately, issues with my feet have forced me to try these shoes so I can keep riding. As much as I hate to admit it, I find that I enjoy riding with sandals now.

Wearing these, move me from the older "competitive racer" category to firmly into the daily commuter or cycling enthusiast and possibly into the casual cyclist - just because of these sandals.

All the snark aside, there is something amazing not having to squeeze my feet into uncomfortable and narrow cycling shoes (a possible origin to the issues with my feet), so I do recommend these sandals.

Even if I never ride a bike with these they are way cooler than Crocs and all the other dad shoes men are wearing nowadays.

I've been needing a good quality pair of sandals for a while. This fit the bill for comfort and value. They look like they will last for years. The Shimano XT of sandals. I probably won't go clipless with them. The bolts for the SPDs are quite recessed so there's no worry of scratching wooden floors...

The only issue I had was the length of the straps, as I have high insteps. The company sent a larger size and that solved the problem. I liked the fact that sandals, minus cleats, can work as walking sandals as well, so less weight in my luggage.

I have been trying to find a pair of these for years. They are the best cycling shoes I have own. I often keep them on when I finish my ride and have to walk the dog.

Very comfortable and perfect when I ride my recumbent.

I like that these are lighter weight than my other cycling sandals... however, they are too wide on me and they can't be tightened far enough for me - allowing my feet to slip around inside too much that it is somewhat dangerous when I need to put my feet down. Now, I have fairly expensive shoes I cannot use. Guess it's off to try and sell them on marketplace - hopefully to someone with wider feet than me!

If you like biking in sandals, then these are great! I was not too concerned about open-toe vs. covered toe, so not a factor here. A bit pricey, but not a big deal given the years of use I will get from them.

Very comfortable to walk in, and a great solution to riding clipless pedals for urban adventures.

Great Sandor! this is the second pair of sandals from Shimano. They're durable They feel great! Best touring shoe money goodbye!

They replaced my worn out, dog chewed sandals. Great fit comfy to walk in, fit well for powering up hills. I am very happy with mine.

These Shimano Cycling sandals fit well and seem to be well made. They also seem lighter than my older sandals.

Wonderful biking shoe even for long rides. Comfortable and stylish. Feet stay cool. Perfect fit with adjustable straps. Love them.

I had an ingrown toenail and my Victor was so sore that I could not put my spin shoes on. I got these to to do spin classes and they are so great that I will continue to use them even after my toe is better. Also quick service and shipping.

These sandals don't give up very much to shoes. They can cinch up tight, don't flex under power and are so comfortable when biking or walking. In the summer they are my daily go to except for serious group rides or heavy climbing. 50 miles of rolling country roads, hell yeah.

Shoes are very comfortable. They flex a little so you lose some of the value of clipins but the comfort makes up for it. Much cooler than my other shoes.

In cold weather match with Sealskin Gortex wool socks for all year comfort.

I like these sandals- ordered a larger size due to my semi - wide feet but these are not confining so had to exchange for normal size! Have not used on bike yet - have been wearing with the sole insert!

Great price and quality construction. Shimano has great products.
