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.

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.

Sturdy, stiff, comfortable. Great off the bike too
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.

Very comfortable even on longer rides!
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.

Another Good Shimano Product
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!

Niche Product
Shimano has these dialed after years of production. Great outdoors in the summer but also great indoors year round with Zwift!

The most versatile bike footwear I have ever used
These SH-SD501 sandals are Slightly better than my previous pair of Shimano sandals which I have been using for six (possibly eight) years. They are more foot friendly in that they are lighter and have, I think, more of a rocker sole, which makes them easier to walk in. I can wear waterproof socks when it rains and more wool socks underneath them if it is too cold, since they are adjustable to accommodate the extra bulk. There is also the option of wearing Goretex overboots for even more insulation on top of all that. Altogether, they are the most versatile bike footwear I have ever used and I will not wear anything else unless someone designs a better product. I'm a year round cyclist and tourist and do not own a car.
