I don't, so I find them very uncomfortable. If only my LBS stocked other brands... Guy -- May contain traces of irony.

I wear a 10 for most of my "normal" shoes, including my mountain biking shoes. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |

I don't, so I find them very uncomfortable. Yup. I suffered from mine for quite awhile before I figured out what was going on. I used to have take the shoes off and rub my feet to make the pain go away. I thought it was that the pedal platform was too small and my feet were tensing up or something. Now I think it was the width. I use Sidis now. Dave |

I have the R151 and M120 and I think the sizing is just about exactly as you said. I always buy 10 in US size and I would say the Shimanos are a tad smaller than 10. I can nit-pick things I don't like about both shoes. The M120s don't completely recess an SPD cleat. They look like they do, but the rubber compresses and the cleats make a horrible grinding noise on concrete. The pricey 151s have a thin insole and it doesn't take long to notice how hard the shoes are. I think I'll be looking to upgrade that, which shouldn't be necessary on a $170 shoe. |
