Shoes that last far longer than their price point suggests. Will purchase again.
Amazingly good shoe for the price. Three, almost four, years of use on everything from 6-hour pedal-fests on my Scott Spark to double black diamond rock-filled technical riding on Vitamin B in CO, and Gooseberry Mesa in UT. They're starting to wear out now, but they should have worn out long ago. I've crashed in them more times than I can count. I've torn the fabric crashing on rocks and pavement at high speeds. And yet they're still lovely to ride in, comfortable and holding up better than I would have expected even if I hadn't abused them so hard.Super comfortable. Never had any foot pain. True to size. Great traction for walking/running off bike. Feel light on your feet, look great IMHO, especially at this price point, and lightning fast to put on and take off. The durability is really what amazed me after almost four years of thrashing.

Nice bike shoes
Only a few rides in with these but I like them better than my older big name brand shoes, and I like the 3 Velcro strap system much better than the boa laces. They are just a little tight (width wise) but I think they will stretch out over time.

Solid cheap MTB shoe
These are les than half the price of a Shimano or Specialized shoe but perform similarly. The ratchet feels like good plastic but is complicated which usually means shorter usable life in my experience, we will see. The size is good. They're comfortable and fairly stiff. I can't get them as tight as I'd like because of the velcro straps. The Velcro is stiff making it difficult to tighten on a low volume foot. I will modify them and make them work for my foot. Also I'm on the last click of the ratchet.To be clear for the price these are great. If you want the performance of a $300 shoe, buy a $300 shoe. I ride 3-6 hours a week and will make these work for me. Sav dat money

SPD compatible, Great value, Ratcheting Top Strap that works! Plenty of room in the toe box
Great price point for a shoe that works- at least for me. My feet are pretty flat - as in flat footed. That means I pronate. Iwhich is why I use SPD pedals. Lots of side to side play (float). I use the old school spds, which require a very stiff sole. This fits the bill. What I really like is the strap buckle on the top strap. If you never used them before, make sure you understand the release mechanism is the front on the buckle which you press down on to release. If you dont know this, you might damage them trying to get them off for the first time! The other two straps are velcro. These shoes have bult in reflectorized material on the back of the shoe (with a letter T).

High quality
After reading the reviews I ordered size 13, I usually wear a 12, these shoes fit perfectly just went on my first ride with them today and found them to be very comfortable, the 3 velcro closure system is easy to adjust quickly, great value in a cycling shie

Not durable and poor product support
After having my last set of Specialized mountain bike shoes finally fail after 20 years (sole separated from upper at the heel), I went on an Amazon quest for a new set of SPD compatible shoes. I decided to try an save a few bucks by going with these Tommaso shoes, but I now have learned that was a mistake and a waste. The shoes themselves were comfortable for the dozen times I was able to wear them before they failed, but the fact that they could not make it beyond 12 rides is pathetic. I've included a picture which shows the inside portion of the right heel blown out. This is most likely due to an impact with my front chainring...something that happens from time to time in mountain biking and something for which a mountain biking shoe should be designed. It is important to realize that I never crashed while wearing these shoes...just a few close calls and clip out moments that are inherent to the sport. When I contacted warranty support to see if they could help, I was accused of letting my dog chew on the shoe (even though there are no bite marks) and received generally snarky responses implying that it was my fault the shoe failed. It has now been over a month since the snarky warranty representative stated he would file a claim, but there has been no additional communication. Fine, lesson learned...if you are pedaling down to the local Starbucks for a latte, these might be fine. If you are doing any actual mountain biking, do yourself a favor and go with a reputable brand. I now have a new pair of Specialized mountain bike shoes which I expect to get many years of enjoyment out of....the Tommaso's are going where they belong...in the trash.

Surprisingly nice!
After a 20-year absence from cycling, these were my first pair of clipless shoes. I was wary of them at first based on the price-- it seemed dramatically lower than most "competitors"-- but since I didn't know what I didn't know about modern cycling shoes, figured this was a safe bet to get back into the groove of things. I expected to try 'em out and likely upgrade to something more permanent.200 miles later, I have no major complaints, and no plans to upgrade. Stiff enough to allow decent power transfer, but not so stiff that you can't walk in them (no, you won't be comfortable running in them, but jumping into a store while you're on a ride will be workable.) Okay ventilation. The velcro straps are secure and allow for decent tightness without discomfort.I hit them for one star off because the mounting plates for the cleats tend to migrate if you don't crank down on the mounting bolts (and will likely strip out if you do.) If you feel like one foot or the other isn't exactly where it usually is when clipped in, it probably isn't your imagination... just re-align and tighten when you get home. I can see this being a potential PITA on a longer ride, but not enough of a PITA to justify spending twice as much on a "better" pair.
