These shoes work great for spin class. My feet were aching wearing my sneakers and using the cages on the pedals and my toes were going numb. This has alleviated that. It also really changes the workout and uses different muscles, for what I think is a better workout. I installed the clips myself after watching a How to video online. Have to buy the clips separately. My only complaint would be the sizing. It's tricky. I wear a 9 in althetic shoes and an 8.5 in most other shoes. I ordered a 42 and probably need a 1/2 size smaller. European sizing is just always hard. Can't beat Amazon's price and quick shipping.
