Road and Gravel Cycling Lace-Up SPD Shoes GRVL 500

A good friend gave me a road bike after many years of not cycling I was back. I wanted some clipless cleats but didn't want to spend an awful lot to begin with. These are a great start really comfy and I have just set up with pd m324 pedals very excited to go out in them

Good points: stiff sole, ok power transmission, not too heavy, resistant to windchill, hoping upper will be durable, ok to walk in, styling is nice and understated. Needs more work for next version: Lacing layout is poor tight toes with poor foot retention, elastic cross piece incorrect length and placement, could be more cleat adjustment, could be more less hard rubber on sole, what is going to happen when cycling in the rain no drainage and padding will hold on to water?

good shoe fit ..great bargain for my husband's new hobby

Comfy and good value

I bought them online and if I'm honest they are probably just a little too long. Try them first

Bought these shoes and they look quite well and feel that way as well. Only issue was the sizing - I'm a UK 8 but the size 8 was too big for me so I had to return them and get a UK 7 but the staff was very friendly and just brought me a size smaller so no issues there. These shoes are quite airy so your foot doesn't get sweaty or anything and the laces are great for cutting down cost and also in terms of adjustment. Overall I'd say these shoes are quite good, but If I could change one thing it'd be the counter (the part that supports the heel and back of foot in general), they feel a tiny bit loose.

This is how my second pair of these excellent shoes. A nice wide fit with a very short bedding in period. Very hard wearing and easy to walk in. A nice stiff sole keeps things secure and comfortable even when climbing out of the saddle. The only real downside is the laces could do with being a little longer. Apart from that a superb budget pair of shoes.

I would have given a 5*. The right shoe is perfect, very comfortable, roomy and easy to put on. The left foot has a small piece of material on the inside at the top by the big toe that rolls back when putting the shoe on, this then digs into the top of the big toe when riding. The right shoe I give 5* and give 1* for the left shoe, that how I came to 3*. I only bought the shoes today.

I bought these for use during winter as I was fed up with my road cleats becoming gummed up. The shoes fit well and look good too. They are light weight and can be used with road bike type toe covers to keep your feet warm. Used for about 300 miles riding so far and very pleased with my decision to purchase them.

Good fit with thickish socks

Look more expensive than their true cost Comfortable, decent quality. Why pay three x as much for a pair?

These are nice looking shoes and fit well. My complaint is that there are no cleats included which may be normal practice, however there is an 'often purchased with this product section' which doesn't include mention this nor does it suggest them. I now have to purchase them separately and pay another postage !! Very irriitating .
