I bought these for my spinning classes and I think they're great. They're my first pair of cycling shoes, so I can't compare them to others, but they are comfortable (I've been wearing them for 3 months), and I like how the clip is recessed and I can walk around the gym normally, even do some stretching or use the weight machines without taking them off. They do fit small, I had to buy a size 41, whereas all of my other shoes are 39 or 40.
