Great mtb shoe!
My five ten freerider pro's were getting old so I was looking for a replacement. I couldn't find freeride pros for less than $140 so I started looking elsewhere. Came upon this Giro Latch that was on sale for $40. So far I am loving it! Great shoe! Runs a little small but not too bad. Sole is nice and stiff and sticky with my Spank Spoon pedals. Upper feels like it has a little padding, which I really like, and some breathability too. Will know more when I try them on a true test ride on the trails, more than just riding around my neighborhood. But so far I am loving these and you can't beat that discounted price! And I love the look of the shoe.UPDATE- finally rode a proper trail with these shoes and they were awesome. Was even able to wear my slightly thicker, wool socks under them. My feet were not cold at all, were well protected and the sole felt nice and stiff and thick. No difference at all from the Five Ten Freerider Pros that I have, that cost $100 more.

Stiff sole for lots of power, but not breathable
These filled the bill and met all of their reviews. Definitely the most powerful shoe for flat pedals with a very stiff sole. Downside for me though was that they do not breathe. Very sweaty feet.

Avoid unless you hate your feet
So disappointed with these shoes.The shoe itself is nothing special. It's basically just a crappy skateboard shoe. The shoes are very narrow and tight around the toe box and the balls of the feet. The soles grip pedals fine, but there is insufficient support where the balls of the feet contact the pedal, so if you're riding for 10 miles or more you will feel it. The insole inside is paper thin. The outer sole is so lacking that you can easily bend the shoe in half at the balls of the feet. So how can it support your feet?Giro clearly just slapped "MTB flat pedal shoes" on random shoes with zero R & D or testing.The laces are barely long enough to tie off. The "lace retention" system is literally just an elastic strap halfway up the tongue of the shoe. It's worthless.I have Salomon shoes that work WAY better for bikepacking trips or long distance gravel riding.I order tons of clothes and shoes online and these are the only shoes that have failed to meet expectations. It is also my first experience with Giro products and I am NOT impressed. All the marketing superlatives and lies aren't sufficient to cover up that Giro just mass churns out subpar gear. Buyer beware.

Great Trail Shoe.
I’m really happy with these. I was looking for a shoe for average trail riding and these fit the bill. Lightweight, medium stiffness, firm but compliant padding, great grip on my 5dev flat paddles. I think the review on Outdoor Gearlab is pretty spot on. Great flat shoes! My only wish would be a slightly roomier toe box. But these still have more room than Specialized 2fo

Stuff, light, good looking shoe. Bad grip
As the title says. Love the look. Tight fit. Stiff shoe. But compared to my old 5.10’s, my feet slip off all over the place. Unsafe if you do hard riding.

Love the green color
My husband really likes these shoes and said they are more comfortable than his previous 5.10s. He wears a 13 and got the 13.5 to accommodate socks and swelling and they fit great. I really like the green color.
