Nice comfortable no hot foot
Very comfortable even for my wide feet. Velcro just catches enough even with socks in the fall weather. I get crazy tan lines but feet are cool in the summer and fall with socks. I use to ride in the winter in my younger years but now too cold so these sandals are great for my biking (triking)
My old pair of Shimano sandals were a size too big but were using when I was riding a road bike to protect my toes. Was getting the 'hot feet' so only used a few times even with wide MTB platform pedals.
When I transitioned to the recumbent trike I was still getting the 'hot feet' with the older pair.
The new pair I purchased the exact/correct size. I ride a recumbent trike now and setting my cleats all the way back toward my heel eliminates the 'hot feet' Cleats sit more behind the ball of my foot. Happy feet...now I can ride longer in my neighborhood. Great price now and these are actually my backup pair : )

I�ve yet to try these since it�s still winter but they seem to fit fine. A little long as I�m between sizes. I�m typically a 10.5 so I ordered an 11. Wish they made half sizes.

Sandaled feet are happy feet!
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!

if you are going to wear sandals while riding... use these
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.

Indispensable summer riding shoes!
Saved my life in the Methow Valley Sawtooth range, but then it was time for a new pair. But, don�t try to use them on any Tour de France bike tour � the guides won�t let you, despite being stiff enough to use with eggbeaters.

So Comfortable!
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...

Used the Shimano sandals on a 2 week cycling tour and they were very versatile, in that they doubled as walking sandals.
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.

Best cycling product I have bought in years
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.

Lighter weight but don't fit well
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!

Replacing my worn-out Nashbar sandals
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.

Good Quality Footware
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.

Great biking sandals!
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.
