Been out on more rides and I LOVE these shoes! It's the first shoe I can cinch down without getting numb feet (I ride recumbent). The shoe forms to the foot without feeling narrow like a Italian cycling shoe. The well padded tongue is divine, and a big miss on my expensive specialized carbon pro shoes. The toe box is wide but not excessively. The ratchet system is the best I have had to date.

When the Mavic carbon men's mtn bike shoes drop in price I will definitely grab a pair.
