I bought these to replace my 15 year old Sidis that would not take the current SPD-SL
cleats. I wear a 11½E
running shoe and the size 47 fits with just enough width in the toe box. The strap across the top of the ankle is a little higher than the
Sidi, but is not uncomfortable, and really locks my foot in on climbs and sprints. The only gripe I have is that the material around the edge is not as soft as my Sidis, but with
socks on it is not an issue. I have ridden about 300 miles in them so far with no hot spots or other discomforts. I would recommend this shoe to any road cyclist with a limited budget.
