Are they meant for cycling? It doesn't look as if any of them are SPD-compatible, unless I'm missing something.

I looked at the pdf catalog. Though it shows cycling pix, there's no mention of cleats and the pictures of soles don't appear to have a removable section. So I would say no.

Still, cool shoes to wear if you're driving somewhere to go riding.

Are you sure? It sure looks like the same Giro logo. If it isn't them, I would think that Giro wouldn't let them use the logo. I think it is Giro or at least they are affiliated with them. Check out this link (http://stlouis.bizjournals.com/stlouis/stories/2006/08/14/story7.html)

It is the same Giro. Giro is having a St. Louis company manufacture them. It is being marketed to bike shops.
