I love this shoe. I wear a 46 in Specialized and went with a 46.5 for this shoe. The fit is perfect. The toe box gives more room. I haven't noticed the hot foot I usually get after about 2 hours with my old shoes. The ventilation is great. The sole is super stiff. The only down side - I got them in white. They are beautiful, but after a few rides I quickly realized white gets dirty really fast.I was going to buy these shoes anyway and saved a ton of money buy purchasing on Amazon Day. The shoes I give a 10 out of 10, and I very rarely give ratings that high.
