Expectations exceeded
First things first, size conversion: I wear a 7 in all running shoes (Brooks, Adidas, Nike, Under Armour). I ordered a size 38 and they're perfectly snug. Also, how cute are they?! The color is more of a dark hot pink, not overbearing, just perfect.These shoes are so comfortable I want to wear them all the time. They feel just as solid as regular spin shoes but are far more pleasant to wear. They're much easier to walk in, my cleats make minimal contact with the ground.The top of the shoe is very secure, the strap over top provides a lot of structure with minimal flex (in a good way). My feet didn't go numb in these shoes like they usually do in others.Overall, my rides have been much improved. Highly recommend.

Awesome cycling shoes!!!
Awesome!!!I’ve worn a few other brands including the popular Tiem shoes these are pretty solid good support!They feel good riding, smooth ride and they feel long lasting. the sizing was a lil confusing I typically wear a size 8 I bought the 39.5 is very slightly loose but overall fits great! If your a size 8-8.539 to 39.5 would be perfect!Overall 10/10 the feel strong and long lasting!I might get an extra gel cushion in the future to slip inside, for a lil more cushion but if you’re looking for a solid pair of cycle shoes these are it!🖤🖤🖤👌🏼

Finally!
After buying and returning two pairs of other popular brands I was frustrated. Using the same Euro sizing, one pair was a half size to big and the other was too small. Plus, one brand's Euro sizing can be different than another brands Euro sizing.I did a lot of research for my next pair and narrowed it down to two companies. I finally went with the Pearl Izumis. I then ordered a 1/2 size up and they fit perfectly. I installed Shimano 2 bolt cleats that go on the shoes (order separately) that match the Shimano M520 pedals I recently put on my spin bike.These feel so much better and you can walk on them without the cleat scratching the floor - a nice plus. I've noticed in reviews there are rarely reviews for size 6 feet. I'm pretty much a perfect size 6 in regular shoes and sneakers. The Pearl Izumi website says Euro 37 for size 6. I decided to go a 1/2 size up as others have recommended to a 37.5. I'm glad I did as they are perfect. I'm loving my rides with these, very comfortable. I use these for indoor spin cycling.Also, a tip for those of us who watched Youtube and learned how to install our cleats, make sure you use a torque screwdriver and tighten the screws on your cleats to 22 or so in/lbs. Some people go 40-53 torque in/lbs, but the one I read said 22. Its worked for me. The cleats will not loosen and move on the pedal. I've read reviews about people installing and they have to tighten the cleats, its because they are not tight enough. So far, very happy with these cycling shoes.

Loved the look
I love the style of this shoe. I returned it because it made my toes numb on one side. Clips put on easy and looked good on my feet. I also enjoy the flatness of the clips. I was able to do bike bootcamp with no problem. Give them a try

Great spin shoe
I was replacing a similar style of five year old spin shoes, manufactured by a different company, and tried quite a few before settling on these. They are somewhere between the hard shell type and the newer that are just like an athletic shoe. They offer structure both around my foot and in the sole, without being uncomfortable, and allow me to get off of the bike and do something on the floor. The sizing is exactly as you would hope for; I wear a size 8 1/5 street shoe and a size 9 athletic shoe and the euro size 40.5 (which the box says is a 9) is absolutely perfect. My toes hit the end of a 40 and the 41 gave me too much room to move my foot back and forth, which would happen on the bike while pedaling. I used these today and couldn't have been more pleased. Also, the red color is very bright and somewhat pink, but fun!

Great for indoor spinning
I needed to replace my 20 year old spinning shoes. After reading many reviews on different shoes, I chose this and I'm very happy with their fit (1/2 size up), comfort, and the ease of clipping on and off the pedal. I like the color (orangish pink) and the velcro buckle. I recommend these if you are looking for a new indoor spinning shoes that you can walk around in.
