This is a great shoe and very comfortable. Quality product made with quality materials. I really like the stylish appearance and that they look like a typical shoe. The clip is inset slightly and flush with the sole of the shoe so you can walk like a normal person when wearing these, unlike most cycling shoes. They fit to size, I wear a 47 and purchased a 47...fit great!!

Shoe fits snug and I ordered 1 size larger than normal. Toe box is wide and roomy, so very comfortable. Sole stiff enough for biking, yet sufficiently flexible for walking. Used with toe clips (ones wo straps) can pedal quite efficiently. I've used them on 30 - 50 mile rides.
Appear well-made, Vibram sole is a plus, and should probe durable. Liked them so much, ordered a second pair, and one for my wife.

I ride dura ace pedals normally on my gravel bike but saw these shoes on sale so picked them up.
Planned use of riding with little one and SO casually, I decided to take them on a 3hr gravel ride using XTR pedals for their first test.
I really like them. I forgot about them while riding. Very easy to walk in, like a light hiker. Just wide enough, better than a typical cycling shoe. I may just ride in these most the time!

Runs small - purchased size 46 while usually take 45. Fit is quite snug, especially very curved heel. Great for casualtouring rides with toe clips that might include some walking. Sole is stiff for good power transfer, still quite comfortable for walking. Top is mesh, so not for cold weather use.

I bought these shoes to use when commuting on days that are too cold to wear my usual SPD sandals. Overall an excellent design, very comfortable on or off the bike. The last two (rear most) lacing holes on each side, however, are too far back for comfort (for me) so I just skip them and use the normal alignment holes. I added SPD cleats, of course, and round reflective stickers on the back to help visibility. Easy to use, comfortable, plenty of toe box room. Plus, an excellent value at the Bike Tires Direct price.

Shoe runs a bit small, I usually take a size 45, but purchased a 46 Rumble and that fits well.
Review by Cabbagehats
Bought these in blue for a coast to coast tour and they held up well. I am size 11 so i bought that size and they are a little snug. They stretched out enough to be comfortable but I wonder if I should have bought a size up as I can only wear thin socks with them. They have good stiffness for riding, the Vibram lugs are nice, but the cleat really removes a lot of the traction area so there is a compromise there. They are fair weather shoes and not waterproof but they dry out fairly quickly. They look rather nice and I don't feel self conscious while wearing them.

I got on sale and am very pleased with these. They are my 3 season shoe. they are light, breath well and comfy! That trim is some kinda shade of orange and wish the shoe was all black, I bought black laces and colored the orange on the heel with a marker!Recommended

I was mainly just looking for some inexpensive spd shoes for pleasure rides and commuting in the rain (to not get my work shoes wet). What I liked about these, aside from the price, was that they look like normal shoes and good looking shoes at that (I purchased the blue version). If wasn't for the fact that these are definitely not made for walking very far in, I would wear them around even when not riding.

Hey its what I expected. It wears nice off the bike also. The photo looks orange and the shoe has orange accents, I dont know why its described as red everywhere.

Great shoe allows me to commute on my various bikes without changing pedals. Borderline ok for office attire. Leaps and bounds better than the PI shoes they replaced.
Review by MC
I wanted a good spd compatible shoe that left enough room at the ball of the foot for comfort. This shoe does that. Additionally, it's a good shoe for walking when I'm off the bike. The vibram sole has good grip, which is something other walkable cycling shoes often don't have.

I was looking for something that I could wear riding, then lock up and go into the store, restaurant, whatever. This shoe is perfect incognito bike shoe.

I use this shoe for commuting to university about 8 miles one way, and as a recreational road riding shoe on the weekends. They're comfortable for the most part, after about an hour of peddling, the insole does start to feel a bit hard and there may be a numb toe from time to time. I wouldn't use these for trail riding because the laces don't allow the hugging of the foot like a nice pair of velcro straps, and the heel allows sandrocks in. This shoe's stated purpose is commuting and they're great for that. They look nice with hiking khakis that I ride in when sitting in class or walking to different buildings on campus. They also allow for decent walking as they still have a shank inside the rubber sole, which does clop clop like a horse a little as the foot transitions from the heel to the ball of the foot.

Use in spin class. Bought a 44 based on size chart. Fit is close. If I were to buy another pair, I would buy a 45. My shoe size usually runs 10 - 10.5.
Review by HobieOne
The Giro Rumble VR MTB Shoe is a great shoe for the price. The shoe does run small, so order one size up. I would recommend this shoe for riders of bike trails and paths.

I wear this shoe on my ebike and my touring bike. It is appropriately stiff but I find the tow box a little bit too narrow.
Review by Hagerstown Biker
Nice comfortable everyday riding shoe for long training rides when you know youre gonna stop for a drink and snack. Much easier to walk in than road bike shoes.

Bought these for spin class. I wear a size 10 - 10.5 shoe. My sidis are size 45. I ordered size 44 according to the fit chart. The shoes fit, but if I were using them on the road, I would order a 45. My toes almost touch the end.
They work well for spin. A little trouble slipping on, but once on, the lace system works well to fit my feet.

I got these to commute to work. They look good, feel surprisingly stiff with spd road pedals, and no more duck walk down the hall!
