I have a pair of these and they're great. Cleat is recessed so easy to walk on.

Padded tongue. Just a small elastic loop to tuck laces into
good buy at that price…seems a practical touring/commuting & general cycling shoe.
edit: might be worth noting theyre click'r and not spd!
The Shimano Click'R SH-CT40 SPD is a dual purpose cycling shoe optimised for the Click’R Integrated Pedal System, which is an excellent introduction to cleats.
I've got them and they work perfectly with SPD pedals
..all good. compatibility is one thing but so is an accurate description…theyre click'r shoes & are spd compatible
some people may assume theyre only 'spd' for eg…or vice versa. i mean if shimano call them a click'r shoe so should you maybe?The only difference between the Click'R and SPD systems is the spring tension in the pedals. Shoes are all 100% interchangeable. Calling these Click'R and nor SPD is purely a marketing thing, aiming them at beginner / commuter cyclists and not mountain bikers.
How are they on sizing? I wear 13 US shoes (47 1/2) so I wonder if I should go 48 or 47 with these?
I'd be getting atleast the 48.
Cycling shoes are normally a bit smaller than your regular shoe size.
This is a great bike shop, I saw a deal last year which included the pedals and the shoes for about $80 or $90 or something, but when I got there, they were out of the pedals, so they gave me an even better pair of pedals (which were compatible) for the same price.
I wear these shoes very often, and walk around in them no problem.
yeah, that's the deal I got last year too (including the pedals)
What's the benefit of cycling shoes vs normal shoes for a road bike? fyi I'm a beginner rider commuting to work, riding 40km in total return trip maybe 3 times a week
Improved efficiency: Without cleats, you must leave a certain amount of weight on the rising pedal to keep your foot in place. So you're working against yourself. With cleats, you can reduce or reverse the force on your rising foot, and gain "from 10 to 25%" (YMMV)
Improved power: With cleats, you can apply force more of the way through the pedal stroke. Instead of just "pushing down" on the pedal, you can kick forward at the top of the stroke, and then "scrape chewy off your shoe" at the bottom of the stroke
would it be worth paying the extra $40- for the pedals as well in the combo deal?
http://www.saltercycles.com.au/a/urban-bike-shoes/shimano/vi…yes, unless you already have pedals. No point having cleated shoes and no pedals to click into
ha, your right, will these also fit into the spin class bike pedals at gyms?
I don't know, I've never been.
TBH, I bought the shoe+pedal set because I wasn't across all the different types, and the set ensured they would be compatible.@effgee:
well I tried on a pair yesterday at Salter's and the shoes fitted great, nice and wide for my fat feet, so will get the pedals as well. ans it seems my gym uses same system so sweet. cheers
just so you know:
pedals are click'r
cleats are click'r
shoes are click'r (spd compat)if youre commuting/trekking those pedals are fine….anything else go spd instead
good point, I've pulled my left foot out of these a couple of times when really powering, was pretty scary
Does it have a padded tongue (MTB) or is more like a road shoe? I normally get my mtb shoes with the large velcro strap, that way I'm not getting my laces caught in the gears.
