A comfortable cycling shoe.
I've used these shoes for a couple of weeks now for about 100 miles. My rides on a hybrid are typically 16+ miles, max at 23 so far. I ride in in a high-humidity area and by the time I am done, my clothing is soaked. The shoes breathe well and my feet don't prune up - huge plus.The only discrepancies I have so far are that the soles are very rigid which cause for a lack of traction on even some of the roughest concrete or pavement. My other concern is that they are manufactured in China. No matter the brand or the price, I don't get anywhere near a normal & expected life out of a shoe from there. Time will tell.

Shoes are great!
Excellent fit. Exactly what I was looking for.

I love them
I wear a size 11 for all my shoes. 10.5 is always too small, but I find some shoes are roomy in an 11. I bought the 45s and they were a perfect fit.You can walk around in them but I've only used them for indoor workouts so far. I don't know how much you'd want to walk around on non-paved areas so I wouldn't recommend for anything beyond gravel. They are a bit slippery on my smooth concrete basement floor.I love the Velcro straps. I can get in/out of these shoes very quickly. They're comfortable and work well with cleats on my Shimano platform/spd pedals.

Great fit, and doesn’t restrict circulation
Unlike cheaper bike shoes I have purchased in the past. The Garneau bike shoes fit nicely and my feet don’t lose circulation that plagued cheaper bike shoes I have worn in the past.

They run small.
I've been using these shoes for road bike cycling now for three months. Overall they're a good solid shoe. I use SPD pedals and cleats because I walk in them off the bike and they seem best for that. The footbed is firm and energy transfer to crank is good, even in an off the saddle situation. After reading other reviews before I purchased, the general consensus was to order them a half size larger because they run small. My only regret is not ordering them a full size larger because they run short and narrow. It blows my mind why cycling shoe manufacturers don't offer them in wide widths. I use a heavier wool sock for cold weather riding and I have a standard medium width foot. With these shoes it was close to painful with heavier socks. My recommendation is to go a full size larger if you use heavier socks in colder weather and adjust with Innersoles with thin socks.

Wow! Great shoe - SPD Cleats required
Great shoe. I bought these with the Shamano A600 road touring pedal. I'm still waiting on pedals but I love this shoe. Make sure your pedals are SPD (not SPD-LS).I bought these shoes to use for my road bike. I was looking for two things.1. I wanted excellent ventilation - I live in Florida.2. I wanted to walk comfortably off the saddle.This shoe delivers both. The ventilation is incredible and they are very comfortable. The fact that they are sexy, light weight and have a beautiful stiff soul is the cherry on top ;)My only complaint is that mine are just a tad small (that's what she said). I'm a size 10 in Nike. I ordered a 44. This is my fault mostly.... size ten needs a 45. But I like them so much I do not want to send them back to exchange....

Versatile Bike Shoes
Purchased these bike shoes as all around shoes to meet needs of training on indoor cycles as well as touring on road bike. Love these shoes. Comfortable but stiff enough to transfer power to pedals. Recessed spd cleats make these easy to walk in too. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I had to return the first pair of garneau’s I bought because they all seem to run a half size small. So if you’re a size 12, get12.5 (so 48 instead of 47).

I use these for road biking and really like the convenience of SPD for short (very short) walks
I already owned a pair of these so I knew the quality was decent and that size 44 fit my 9 - 91/2 feet. I use these for road biking and really like the convenience of SPD for short (very short) walks. The soles are reasonably stiff, although not in the category of a competitive road shoe. They work for me on 15 - 30+ mile rides, but would probably want a stiffer road shoe for longer rides. Also, I feel $99 is a little high.

Excellent spin shoes
I brought these as a replacement for my Diadora cycling shoes which fell apart. I use these exclusively for spin and have only written this review after two full 45 min classes to be sure of fit and performance.First off fit. These shoes I would say are of average width fitting for cycling shoes. I am either an 8.5 or 9 UK in shoes or trainers and have g width. Most cycling shoes I take a UK 10 or 45 because they are narrow. My Diadora ones were a 43 as they were a wide fit and I have brought 44 in the multiflex. After to really hard sessions the fit is perfect. The Velcro has plenty left on the adjustment, the toe area is fine and they grip at the heal well. They also allow air travel around the foot to keep you cool. The biggest improvement is in the ability to walk around a sloppy gym floor as the bases are very stable. Tbh if my walk to the gym was shorter I could walk all the way in them.Performance is excellent. The bases transfer power to the pedals well. They are easy to lock into the pedals. The Velcro has plenty of adjustment though if I'm honest I miss the ratchet system for the top strap. Overall they are very well made and will hopefully stand plenty of spinning.

Great
Very comfortable from the start and no need to "break-in". Once the SPDs are fitted (check regularly for security), you can walk on a level surface without scoring it, as the sole is proud of the fitting. They are quality shoes and they are clearly built to last. Glad to have made the purchase.NB If this helps, I'm normally a size 9 (Euro 43) and occasionally take a 10 in trainers. I purchased size 9.5 (euro 44).

Very comfortable with great ventilation
I was looking for a cycling shoe for indoor use on my spin bike. I needed a shoe with good ventilation and this shoe has not disappointed. I followed the sizing guide and the shoe does fit as expected. It is very comfortable and the velcro adjustable straps make it easy to put on and adjust to fit. The shoes came with the SPD mounting bracket pre-installed on the shoe making the SPD cleat installation easy, with groves on the tread for easy alignment. I like the fact that the cleat is recessed in the shoe so you can walk on them without the cleat touching or damaging the floor indoors. The shoe breathes well and my feet don't get hot during an intense spin session.Pros:Lightweight and breathableEasy SPD cleat installationComfortable and easy to adjustCons:None!I am very pleased with these shoes and would strongly recommend.

They fit small
I had to go a size up to get them to fit (45 to a 46) and they are still snug. Which is okay for bike shoes. Just keep that in mind when ordering. I returned the first pair which was too small no problem.

Worst bike shues I ever had
First of all, ordered a number bigger than I usually have, the shue size fist, with the +1 size, but uncomfortable, my toes are smashed together, and after 40miles riding my feet go numb. Was expecting more from a name brand like Garneau.
