Love the shoe, however I am a true 11.5 and had to order a size 13 in this particular shoe. They run small and still are a little tight on me. Wear them to your favorite sport's bar or athletic event, a real head turner! Will hit your wallet price wise, however, they are worth the look. I purchased the X-Alp Enduro's as well and I just can't stop getting enough compliments on them.

This is a very comfortable riding shoe. Very stiff sole for great energy transfer to the pedals. This was the shoe my husband bought and I bought the woman\'s version which is the same shoe only a different color.
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: also like Carnac, but they are expensive. I have to go with Pearl Izumi..

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to width
Perfect fit. Details abound and lightweight. The fit is excellent. Order 1/2 size up to get the fit. Shoes are sized smaller by 1/2 size. Carbon is so lite. Inner heel is all leather; so comfortable. Micro adjust with hook-and-loop straps. Rubber bottom grips. Super stiff sole just like you want it.
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: Check out the Pearl Izumi line. I had Shimano's before. The attention to detail and superb materials are second to none

This is an awesome fitting shoe and really light. I looked around at a lot of shoes but couldn't find a shoe that had a carbon plate, was light and stiff, for this price. This is my first pair of Pearl Izumis and I am very happy.
