Rumble VR Mountain Cycling Shoe - Men's

I received the shoes and was pleased to discover that reading through previous reviews is a sound practice when shopping online. As others have stated, I recommend ordering the next size up from the one you usually wear. So, if you normally wear a 42, order the 43. Thankfully, I did exactly that and the shoes are a perfect fit. The shoe itself is comfortable and quite stiff, and it feels solid on the pedals. The Vibram soles are well textured and have a recessed space for the SPD cleats, which minimizes contact with surfaces you may need to walk over or across. The laces and trim are more of an orange than red in colour, but the entire shoe is quite pleasing to look at, and can easily be mistaken for a common street shoe. I highly recommend this item for anyone who rides for transportation or pleasure.

These shoes are awesome ! I am NOT an avid biker, however I played one this past week (Ragbrai in Iowa). 135 miles in two days. All I have is flat pedals on a Trek 7.3. I was having trouble with my foot instep cramping with my tennis shoes. These are much stiffer and solved the problem. I am a mens 8.5 D / wide. I bought size 43. They are a little long and a little narrow for my wide feet but as stated, they did the trick. Easy to walk on - relative to biking shoes and comfy. I've read about a million reviews and I'm here to say - for flat pedals (no clips) bike shoes are WAY worth it. OBTW - these are built for clips, just not mandatory. And to all the bike geeks out there - maybe clips next year. Small steps :)

TL;DR If you're looking for the perfect shoe to serve both as a great hiking shoe and a good cycling shoe, it doesn't exist. If you simply want improved everyday walk-around capability after commuting on two wheels, these fit the bill perfectly.Purchased these shoes looking for the goldilocks option that would allow both comfortable mid-length road riding and hiking on loose surfaces alike. This shoe attempts to do just that, and to mixed results.When it comes to the cycling aspect, the Giro with SPD pedals was very similar to more conventional road Giro shoes I've used previously. It has an internal shank to stabilize the entire foot while applying pedal force under load, similar to more conventional road shoe designs. However, the cleats can shift laterally under load and loosen their mounting bolts, so I'd recommend applying blue threadlocker to avoid this and maintain consistent cleat-to-pedal fit.When it comes to the walking/hiking aspect, the inherent limitations of some of the cycling-requisite features become apparent. The shank prevents any meaningful articulation of the ball of the foot typical of downhill descent (while hiking), degrading the walking experience. Additionally, though recessed, the SPD cleat on the bottom noticeably decreases grip on loose/complex surfaces. On smooth, regular surfaces, these shoes feel close to normal sneakers with slightly lower flex.Fit is snug, especially with laces running all the way up. I swapped conventional laces for elastic lace locks immediately after purchasing, which I recommend. The shoe is almost too snug, so if you want your feet to breathe, I recommend lacing to only below the top few rows.As a commuting round-town convenience, these are great. Even for walking into restaurants/grocery stores/gas stations on mid to long rides, these do quite well. As a dual-purpose hiking/cycling shoe, try elsewhere and let me know if you find anything.

I have always been happy with Giro shoes for my road bikes (16 Years) this is my first go with a MTB shoeand I have hard to fit feet. Due to a break 40 years ago my right foot is larger than my left. I ordered the same size 45 MTB shoe the "Giro Rumble" that I have bought for my road bike shoes and they areperfect. Once again Giro didn't let me down.So comfortable in fact that I haven't taken them off since receiving them hours ago.I may buy another pair for church. (joke)I kid you not, these are excellent shoes.I will use the for spin class when the weather is bad and feel totally comfortable wearing themto lunch afterwards.The only thing I don't understand is what the heck is the difference between 45 and 45 EU.If you look at the Q&A on this site you'll see that I asked that question and the seller hasn't answered. There is no answer. Yet when youorder the shoe here you have to choose 45 or 45 Eu or any other size has with or without EU.I got the straight 45 without the EU and I'm happy. ( I suspect that they are both the same )

This is my second pair of these. I absolutely love them! They are very comfy with a great fit (for me) and they look good - good enough to wear to a restaurant in a pinch - although I generally don't clip in but use regular shoes, but it has happened...

I bought these to learn to use cleats. They look nice and they serve the intended purpose very well. They are stiff, quite intentionally, because that's what you need with cycling shoes when using cleats. This is obvious to experienced cyclists, but the appearance is deceptive to those of us new to using cleats. For cycling, they're great. Appearance or not, however, the stiffness of the soles of these shoes means that they're NOT for general walking around. Around the garage, fine. Maybe stop at 7-11 and get a drink, fine. Walk around the block or wear them to the mall, no way.
