Customer Reviews New Balance WX09v1

I was looking for cycling shoes to wear for SoulCycle, at first I was concerned because these shoes only work with SPD cleats vs the LOOK Delta cleats that are on the shoes at SoulCycle. But as it turns out the bikes are set up to work with both types of cleats. They helped me put them on at SoulCycle and they were even concern they won't work because they hadn't seen cycling shoes like these yet, where the cleat was so inset but we tested it and it took a little figuring out at first but they worked. I've been using them now for a week weeks and really love them, they are very comfortable, flexible and the really nice part is you can walk around in them when off the bike because the cleats are inset. I would highly recommend them, just but the size you use for cycling shoes, I 'm normally a size 9 and wear a 42 in cycling shoes which is supposedly a 9.5.

I ordered half a size up and they are perfect!

These shoes are great, however I have a narrow foot and they did not work for me. All of the other new balances sneakers I have purchased have been great because I usually buy lace up shoes.

These are very fashionable and sturdy even though they are more like a sneaker than a traditional cycling shoe. Unfortunately the material on the top of the shoe irritated my high arch and I had to return.

I bought this shoe because I liked how it looked and wanted a better experience in my swing class. This shoe looks great on, more like an athletic shoe than a cycle shoe. I have owned other cycle shoes and found them hard and uncomfortable these are more comfortable. The only critique is that the tongue does not stay in place, it slides down. This issue does not bother me at all. I found it true to size. I am enjoying my spin class and love how the shoe looks. I gave it a 4 because of the tongue.

I was disappointed that the whole shoe is all man made materials. I thought that the straps would be leather. The straps kinda got in the way of the tops of my flair pants.

I was truly hoping this tennis shoe style cycling shoe would work for me. After foot surgery, I cannot wear my traditional leather cycling shoe, and thought this style would work until my swelling subsides. I wear a 41 in two other brands of cycling shoes, but these ran big. I even ordered another pair in one size bigger in case this one didn't fit. I also agree with others who reviewed this shoe. Very disappointed in the velcro strap. Just in trying them on after they arrived, I had trouble getting one of the velcro straps to stick.

Like others, I wanted to love these! They rubbed at the front of my foot/leg where the hard strap comes over. The tongue does help protect, but didn't stay in place for my 10 minute trial ride. Sad to have to return. I purchased another pair of Pearl Izumi instead.
