I think the size is accurate. I wore them yesterday and am not entirely convinced - the tongue is elasticated and doesn't seem to open far enough for me to get my foot in easily. There are better shoes - look at my videos about the Fizik Terra and also the Quocs - both of which I think are better than the Shimanos.
I prefer the Fizik's fit and look; there's something odd about the tongue of the Shimnaos where it goes over your instep. But that could be just my foot. You could order both and choose the one that fits best!
So funny...Mrs. Imelda Marcos doesn’t ride bikes though! she’s more on dancing and fashion!😊now I’m afraid to buy these as my very 1st bike shoe!🤣

Laughing my ass off. Please do a video on how important a cycling shoe really is because of some of us newbies it would mean buying a pair versus wearing our regular sneakers to pedal with. Thanks
This is the worst review I have ever seen on my life!!! But, it was so bad I actually loved it. I was laughing all the way through the video. Because I can’t see the person, his voice is so similar to Jim Broadbent it’s mad. I could just picture Jim Broadbent on a bike testing these shimanos. FYI I bought them and really enjoy
Those look really nice. How stiff is the sole? I'd love a comparison review btwn these and Bontrager Espresso Road Shoes (2-bolt SPD-style cleats).

Thank you; always rely on a farmer.
Like the shoes and the video, quick question how accurate are the sizes?, cheers 👍

@@JulianHutchings thanks will do 👍
Lovely video! But a question persists... Do you have any experience on the durability of these boa laces versus regular laces?
Not used them long enough to say - but I'll try and do a catch-up video later.
@@JulianHutchings I bought them, according to boa laces website they'll send spares for free or a rather low price. So that's at least comforting!
Do you prefer these or the fizik terra x5 ? I'm looking for a new pair of spd's and noticed you unboxed both on your channel.... cheers .

Great review
I have the previous XC5 which have been very good but I need to now purchase a new pair, is this shoe a nice wide toe box like its predessor?
I don't know the previous version but wide enough for me. And shoe expanders work great.
@@JulianHutchings thanks!
