The media could not be loaded. I got the brand name bike, but I was able to outfit myself without having to buy the brand name shoes. 100% compatible! Super satisfied with the ease of putting these on and taking them off. These shoes are comfortable and durable! Highly recommend! (Red Peloton brackets sold separately)

Let's start off with the negative real quick. I wish that they had more 'normal shoe' sizes. For reference, I usually wear an athletic shoe in size 8; cycling shoes tend to run small/narrow so let's call that an 8.5. For this Shimano shoe, I bought the "7.5-8 Women's" size and the "8.5-9 Women's" size. The smaller size was just barely too small - it was so close to being a perfect fit but it was JUST too tight to be comfortable. The larger size fits more nicely but has a little too much space for my toes, though I decided to keep this size. If, like me, you tend to be in between sizes, I'd recommend ordering both to try.

That being said, I feel like these cycling shoes look really nice, they feel really comfortable, and are easy to slip on and off whenever you starting or done with your workout. Really looking forward to seeing how these hold up long term!

Nice shoes, but it would be nicer if they came with the stabilizers.

I like that these were easy to install the cleats and once I watched a couple of videos, I found that using clip-ins much better than cages. Also these are very light weight and comfortable, as well as stretchable to make putting them on and off easy.

The only thing I did not like is that they are not too easy to walk in. Maybe that is expected for this type of shoe, not sure.

I've been cycling for over 20 years both on road and on the peloton. These are by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. I would say these are the equivalent of those slip on sneakers. They are snug around your foot without applying unnecessary pressure. The single strap situates and holds the shoe in place. It's a phenomenal shoe and I highly recommend to anyone.

Edit: When you get up and out of the saddle the shoes compensate with an ultra plump padding. It's like cycling on clouds. Amazing shoe.
