I want to say these Shimano sandals are awesome. Incredible. Fantastic.

And TE is amazing. Thank you TE.

I sent TE an email to ask them what size to get. But before they could answer I picked up the phone and talked to someone at TE who told me which size to get. I got off the phone and went online and ordered the sandals on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the service department responded to the email and gave me the same information as the lady on the phone.

Thus, my online purchase of the sandals was on Tuesday morning. Wednesday morning (today) I was 10 minutes away from leaving the house for my daily bike ride when the rural route carrier arrived at the back door. It was the sandals from TE, arriving about 24 hours after my purchase. I put on the sandals and they were a perfect fit. I then stuffed the sandals into my sports tote, put the bike on the car rack, and headed for the LBS, and the LBS put the cleats in for me.

I then went out to the state park, unloaded the bike, and went out into the valley for a short 30-mile ride. The temperatures were in the upper 70s. The sandals were incredible. Did I already say that? I loved having the air on my feet. The soles were firm. The straps were just right. I had no rubbing on my feet from the sandals. I had firm pedaling power, which gave me more energy to bike into the headwind.

If anybody reading this thread has had a foot problem and you use clipless pedals (Shimano), you might think about trying the sandals. I am a person who wears sandals and clogs mostly, in Euro sizes, and these cycling sandals feel very natural on my feet. The sandals are perfect for those of us who hate having our toes cramped and who like our feet to be able to breathe. I think the sandals would be good for those who might have problems with toes, or bunions or caluses. Be sure to call TE first and make sure you get the right size.
