Great fit. I needed more

"Great fit. I needed more toe room than the Japanese and Italian shoes provide. Love these shoes Good riding single track and flats Also pretty good for miserable hike a bike pushes Very secure. Only gripe was the tongue on the left shoe kept slipping off to the side, exposing the velcro strap and rubbing a painful hole in my foot I fixed it by sewing the tongue in the desired position so it wont move Problem solved Happy riding"
