2007 Shimano SH-M225S Mountain Bike Shoes

I bought these shoes to replace my previous Shimano shoes which were a bad fit. The M225S are a pleasure to wear on long rides. The lightweight carbon heel/bottom makes the shoe feel strong yet very light. As with all Shimano shoes, cleat mounting is a breeze. The sockliner is also quite comfortable, not too hard and not too soft, and should fit most people unless you need orthotics. Energy transfer is excellent and I felt an instant improvement in my pedaling, most likely due to the stiff sole.

The spikes are good for trail walking when you really need to get off your bike. These shoes also really keep the dirt away. Highly recommended!

Shimano Men's Indoor Cycling/Fitness Shoes - SH-FN51

BOA tightening system is great. With clockwise turn of knob you tighten, doesn't bind or pinch and much more secure than the tri-strap variety. Shoe has 2 screened-over vents in sole so not a foul-weather option (unless you like wet feet). Works fine outdoors otherwise. Easy to loosen - just pull out on knob, then push in to re-adjust. Moderately stiff sole transfers less energy than a road shoe (maybe 80%), but still much better than a sneaker.

Seems to fit smallish (48 is advertised as a US-14; however, probably closer to a 13). Very even, secure fit. Again, the BOA is worth a serious look - the system tightens evenly with just the turn of a knob on the heel.

Shimano SPD Cycling Sandals - SH-SD65

My feet kill me when I ride. After giving these cycling sandals a shot; for the first time in years, my feet don't kill me! I have tried different, pedals, cleats, shoes, and bought the best, but still no relief from the pain. Now, I can enjoy the ride, with much less pain. I love them :~)

Shimano Men's Mountain Bike Shoes - SH-M122B

These shoes are a great value for the money. They fit perfect on medium with, medium arch feet. The velcro straps allow secure fitting and are designed to be cut down if you need to (I've had other shoes where the straps seemed too short). The cleats fit easily and securely.

Shimano Men's Multi Purpose Cycling Sneaker - SH-MP56L

I've tried alot of different flat cycling shoes (661, 5 tens, etc..) and the Shimano SH-MP56L shoe are by far the best shoes I've ever used.
There very lite but extremely durable! Very easy to clean, The lace cover work great, and there grip on flats is amazing! There very comfy cause they run alittle wider than most cycling shoe and they also breath very well! I can't find any problems to report about these shoes and will continue to buy and ride with the SH-MP56L shoe until shimano stops making them! Amazing shoes!

Also, They make SPD versions of these shoe for riders the like to be clipped in. There called the SH-MP66L. I help this info clears anyones questions.

Shimano Men's Multi-Use Touring Bike Shoes - SH-MT41G

Recently purchased a pair of the SH-MT41G cycling shoes and I must say they are quite comfortable right out of the box! I was using clipless shoes but decided to go back to this style because I am more confident with this type of shoe/pedal system.I am a weekend cyclist and I'm in and around traffic and intersections alot so these shoes will definitely be the right set-up for that. I am not a "competitor/racing" type cyclist anymore but I still have the other pair if I should decide to go back to that but I kind of doubt that because these shoes are truly great! Nice fit and feel good on the pedals. Good job Shimano! And thank you to Amazon and Bike Somewhere for the quick service! I'll probably cycle alot more now. I did not buy the cleats and I don't think I will but they are available for this shoe.See,that's the other thing,I wanted a shoe I could use to bike with and walk with, without having an extra pair to take along on a bike trek. Multi-use touring bike shoes indeed.
