Shimano shoes

Fit tip Shimano shoes are made on an EU last, so if you are between two lengths pick the larger size.

How to measure

Stand barefoot on paper with your heel against a wall and mark the end of your longest toe, then measure wall to mark in mm. Measure both feet and go by the longer one. Find that length in the first two tables and order the EU size on that row; use the UK tables if you only know your UK size. Shimano shoes are made on an EU last, so if you are between two lengths pick the larger size. Wide versions keep the same length sizing and add room across the ball of the foot.

SPD Sandles

"Surprisingly comfortable,a couple of issues with shoe tyre overlap and the velcro straps don't come in correct place but suppose that's personal. A leather type insert under balls of feet would be nice ."

— Chris W. (4/5)

Freedom

"Love these. I tend to wear sandals or flip flops all year round - much to the consternation of my neighbours - so it seemed a bit odd to be wearing shoes and socks on the bike when it's there I'm likely to get most hot and bothered. These are a revelation. It was a bit disconcerting to feel the wind between my toes the first time, but that soon went and now wearing them is second nature. Very comfortable with no rubbing as yet. Taking socks (yuk) for the Dunwich Dynamo this weekend just in case, but I suspect I'll be fine without. Oh, and they're absolutely fine to walk in too."
