Excellent company to deal with. I had to return my first pair of shoes because the European sizes ran "small". Zappos paid for the return freight and emailed me as soon as they received them. A month later, I reordered the same shoe in a larger size and they upgraded the free shipping to next day air at no cost. I highly recommend this company.

Very Happy with this shoe - My first pair of true biking shoes. I use them primarily for commuting and casual rides under 40 miles. No complaints so far - comfortable while riding and walking. Great shoe.

I ordered the shoes and they appear to be one full size too small. Interestingly enough, all other sites list my US shoe size as one size bigger than they list it on the drop down list.

Good enough for my husband! I bought these for my husband for Christmas. He wanted a pair of biking shoes for a spinning class. These were the only ones that I found in his size with the ability to add the clips in size 14. He likes them well enough. No complaints except that the felt a little bit tight, but since they are biking shoes, he didn't know if they would run small. He has kept them and has worn them twice so far. I thought they were ugly, but they looked like a quality built shoe to me. They look exactly like the pictures. Thanks Zappos.
