36:T41a,In terms of functionality, they're fantastic and the quality was good (nothing exceptional), but there are few things that ticked me off with these shoes. First, they're really stiff (not just the sole), I can't imagine myself walking a lot with them. They might break in after wearing them for few months (I've had them for almost a month now, but during this breaking period, my feet will probably be destroyed). Another thing that bugs me is the cleats (the ones included) rubbing on the ground. Now this was unexpected because I was imagining that if they're designed to allow cyclists walk in them, there shouldn't be much friction between the SPD cleats and the ground. Sometimes the friction is just so off-putting especially if it's on cement or rough surfaces! Another thing that I discovered lately, is how slippery these shoes are on smooth surfaces. When I looked at this pair for the first time, I thought the outer soles would be grippy as hell, but they're not even close. Long story short, 5 stars for pedaling, 2-3 stars for walking.41:Te50,
