I finally bit the bullet and went clipless with these shoes and love them. My only complaint is the black velcro under the straps, it's more visible than what is shown in the picture, it's never completely covered by the straps so there's always black exposed. No biggy but just a side note in case you were hopeful it was all white. other than that i love them! i ordered the size 40 and typically wear a 7.5 or 8 (if i want extra room to add an insole). Fits great and was even able to double up on socks during cold weather without them fitting too tight. it's better to have the shoes too big rather than too small so you can allow room for your foot to swell, which is natural.
