SHIMANO SH-MX100 Multi-Use Off-Road Cycling Shoe

I switched form SPDs to flat pedals after years of commuting on SPDs. I got these after trying a pair of 5/10s for flat pedals. These Shimanos feel lots better than the 5/10s and are so good for walking I usually do post-ride cooldown walk in them. They go on easily and the men’s 8.5 - 9 size fit my EU size 42.5 -43 feet just right. The Velcro strap closure works well, though I’m used to ratcheted straps. The build quality is as good as higher-priced shoes I’ve used. The pair I received din not include a set of SPD cleats — no problem I;m off SPDs anyhow. The relatively hard sole is a little slick in wet weather; and the SPD holes are NOT sealed for wet riding. Great feeling shoes. I like their plan (rather than flashy) look. Often keep them on after rides….

I really like these shoes... they are great for the price... only thing I will point out is that it has a narrow toe box... so if you have wide feet, your toes will be cramped.Otherwise, I love how easy they are to get on and off with a very simple but effective velcro closure

They fit perfectly and these shoes are very confortable. The materials are of a great quality. The price point was also good.

Good enough, comfortable and work well with cleats. I just wish they made a wide option in sizes. I normally wear a wide for road shoes, went up half a size on this one to make sure I could fit in these since they are not wide.

The MX-1 is a low cost, no frills shoe.Looks: Not so much. These shoes look like a cross between bedroom slippers and gardening clogs. Style is not the strong suit. That said, they're great for beginners, casual cyclists on a budget, and for those with wider feet.Sizing: I wear a 12.5 US, and typically al 46 or 47 in European shoes. When I measured my feet with a Sidi sizing tool at the local bike shop, my toes landed between the 46 and 47 mark, my instep between 45 and 46 as shown. Width is between E and EE, slightly wider than "normal". Selecting a 12.5 men's in the MX-1 brought a shoe marked as 48 European. The is pretty close to perfect for my feet. Toes have just a tiny bit of space, heel is not loose, and my instep is snug but not pinched. I've only done about 50Km in them so far, and they've been comfortable. The only exception is that I have thick, tall toes and my big toenails are pushed down a bit. I don't think the plastic front will stretch much, so this may be a problem.Potential drawbacks: Serious cyclists might not like all the elastic on top, and probably will be disappointed by the lack of "tuneability" in the single Y strap. Those who ride in weather will get wet socks from the elastic cloth and perforations.Summary: I bought these as a backup to my old trusted Sidis, and for the money I think they're just fine.

These are cheap, they're built cheap, they feel cheap, and they look cheap.Additionally, putting your foot in the shoe is quite a chore. You have to make sure the neoprene skirt at the top of the shoe where your foot goes in is perfectly flat; otherwise, you'll wind up with a sore foot. You're not just going to throw them on and jump on your bike; they require some effort to "install" them on your foot.That said, once I wrestled them on, they fit okay because I ordered them a size up, meaning a size larger than I usually wear.I think they'll work okay as commuting shoes, but I don't think I want to wear them for more than a couple of hours due to the stiff feel and lack of padding.I paid $69.15 for mine; truthfully, it was a bit of a stretch.UPDATE 5/6/24: these did wind up being returned. I decided any money was too much money for these.

Comfortable & effective. I do not notice them, I notice only the bike.It might be nice if the clips didn’t strike the floor when I walk, but most cleats will do that. I have no real complaints.

I bought size 10.5 instead of my usual 10 per advice here, and the shoes did look narrow but seemed to fit comfortably. Aside from toeclips, this is my first experience with clipless. I ride 4 to 7K miles per year but have alway favored flat pedals. Couple 20 milers, so far so good. Only reservation is the Velcro strap, worried about it loosing its stickiness.
