I am a beginning cyclist and have really enjoyed these shoes!  They were a great value for the money (I had looked elsewhere and the prices on cycling shoes were ridiculous!).  They fit well and the velcroe closures are very easy to use.  For those that are new to cycling, you will need to purchase the cleats (they fit on the bottom of the shoe) separately.  However, cleats are extremely easy to install (there are numerous how-to videos on YouTube if you need assistance).  I like the color and the style of these shoes and have received multiple compliments.  They are definitely much more comfortable to ride in than regular sneakers.  For those on the fence about whether to purchase, I highly recommend this product!
