These are very nice shoes for recreational bicyclists, especially at the $65 price level. These shoes do not work with 3-bolt road-racing cleats and pedals, so look elsewhere if that is what you use. The shoes have only a mild tread with no spikes, so these aren't good for muddy mountain bike rides either. The shoes are apparently designed for recreational bicyclists, using 2-bolt cleats/pedals on paved, bike paths, gravel roads. A large number of bicyclists fall into this category and they should be happy with these shoes if they fit.

Some reviewers are saying that these shoes run one size small. I disagree. My size 43 shoes seems about the same as other bicycling shoes that I have owned in the past (Pearl Izumi, Diadora, Lake, Shimano, and Sidi brands). Length seems standard. Width maybe only slightly on the narrow side. If you have very wide feet, I recommend looking for a shoe brand that comes in multiple widths (like Sidi).

These shoes are not real heavy duty, but the light tread means they are not intended for hard core mountain biking anyway. Weight of the shoe is lighter than average for this price range, which is a good thing if you ride up and down hills a lot. Construction seems very good for this price range. 3 velcro straps gives you a much nicer fit than than 2-strap designs you usually get in this price range, but this is not as easy to use as the ratcheting systems you find on more expensive shoes.

The soles of the shoes have a slight flex to them, so they won't be as efficient as hard-core racing shoes, but you can walk fairly normally in them if you have to.

In summary, I really could not expect any better functionality or performance at this price range.
