Candy Lace Clip-In Shoes - Black/Gum

The first real ride I did in these shoes was a 50-mile event using Crankbrothers Candy pedals on my road/gravel bike, and I never noticed them at all. They just disappeared into the background, which is high praise: No pain, no discomfort, nothing to think about! Of course I spent some time setting up the cleats and taking little spins around my street to check the cleat location, but even that was easy thanks to the markings on the bottom of the shoes. The fit lines made it straightforward to get both cleats in the same location on their respective shoes. The build quality is evident and much better than my old shoes from Shimano. Just looking at them, I was afraid they might be too narrow (I usually like a wide toe box), but they feel just right. However, one thing to note: I usually wear a 10. 5 in my street shoes, but I often size up to 11 in running and cycling shoes to allow for foot swelling, and I'm glad I did with these. This is not to say that the shoes run small, but just that I appreciated having a little more room to work with. The laces made it easy to dial in a good fit. So far, these are my favorite clipless cycling shoes I've ever had, and I have had a few different brands over the years. Durability is yet to be determined, but judging by the apparent build quality, I'm not worried about that at all. Looking forward to getting years of good use out of these!

To start off, I am new to bike shoes in general so my take may not be too informative as those with experience. The shoes are very comfy! I have wide feet and was worried about the fit being too narrow like other brands that I’ve tried in stores. The material isn’t super stiff so it makes it easy to go on long rides! I love the adjustability of the cleat rails since it gives me a chance to try out different positions and I’m not just locked in one place forever. Overall the design of the shoe looks really cool and seems to have kept comfort in mind. The only thing that bothers me at all is that the videos provided for the products are not so informative. You get the general gist of how to put things together but not more in depth information on why things work in certain ways and how to fit them properly to your own fit. It would be nice for future costumers to have that info and even more details to get them started right! Thank you for these great shoes/pedals!

Great fitting shoes
