“Ok, these were bought on impulse for a longer ride that would involve potentially extended walking on wet cobbles and pavements between rides. My normal go-to shoes felt too stiff and lethal for walking in the wet so took a chance on these. They are brilliant ! wore them for a couple of hours around the house to see what fit was like and to get used to them and they felt pretty good. Swapped the laces out for something a bit funkier (can we have more lace options please...) Then 1st outing was 2 x 225km rides out to watch Paris Roubaix race and back. Really comfortable, no heal lift, hotspots or discomfort at all. Great for walking in (not like ice skates) and perfectly stiff enough for riding. Feel very well made and despite some abuse, they clean up like new. Very Impressed.”
