I'm new to cycling so I don't have a great deal to compare to....my first pair of shoes were Shimano and were poorly fit mainly because I didn't know how to size a cycling shoe.....so I bought these [white 45EU] ....much more comfortable and after my first 3000 miles they have function perfectly with no complaints toward comfort....after looking what's available for around a hundred dollars...I suspect these to be one of the best choices....I would recommend them for the 3000 mile a year cyclistThese shoes fit true to size and are very comfortable, as far as stiff soled bike shoes go. Another plus is that they are white, which looks really cool in a world of mostly all black bike shoes. After 400 miles these shoes are going strong with no scuffs.It is a really good shoe. Very comfortable and not very expensive. The sole of the shoe is not as stiff as my previous shoes, and it is more like a shoe instead of a cleat. Needs broken in a little as they hurt my feet on long rides. But, very happy with the product. Will buy a Serfas again...Not a bad pair of shoes for the price. I could of have spent $150+ on a pair of the higher end road shoes but I'm glad I found these because they're just as good as the expensive brands! I would suggest these to anyone looking for a great road shoe on a budget!The fit itself is good but is not comfortable, in fact I would say this is the least comfortable road shoe I've worn (maybe it works well for other foot shapes). The shoe has odd shaping inside that causes pressure points on my feet. Overall I like how it looks and hoped it would replace my current shoes, but I'll have to keep searching.Pros:>This shoe fits true to size.>Good price, though I would not say good value as the shoe feels cheaper and less comfortable than others I've tried in the price range.>The ratcheting buckle is a good feature for the price point.>Nice looking designCons:>Rubs on the back of my foot while pedaling (I'd be surprised if I'm the only person this happens to as the back of the shoe is pretty prominent and stiff).>Heavy shoe>The ratcheting action is good but lacks micro-adjustability and does not quite ratchet tight enough for my feet.>The plastic feels cheap and not stiff enough>The heel clicks while walking causing vibrations throughout the shoe (oddly the click occurs while my foot is in the air before making contact with the ground).I bought these shoes for $100.After a few rides, the plastic attachment of the lower ankle buckle broke. I would not recommended these cycling shoes.私の場合ラチェットのベルトが短いのか履くときに少し押し込まな無いとラチェットが効きません、普段走りでも押し込んでから数ノッチ締めるので機能的には問題ないかと思いきや、一旦きつく締めて（本気走りモード）から走りながら不用意に緩めるとラチェットの効く範囲から外れてしまい止まって両手を使って締め直す事になります。個人差（自分甲高だったの？）かもしませんし、試着できればよいのですが、ど田舎住んでいると通販頼りなっちゃうんですよね。よって本商品は室内専用（ローラー専用）にして、屋外用は別途シマノ製を用意しました。あと、通気性も低いかも。この価格相応の性能。使用には全然問題ありません。いい買い物しました
