I purchased these as a replacement for the same product which failed. Three of the four straps pulled out of the sole. I was eventually able to re-insert and secure them using AquaSeal and that appears to be holding. I see no excuse for this type of failure, my examination of the failure leads me to believe there was inadequate adhesive applied to the straps during manufacture. I only purchased these because I needed them for a self contained tour on short notice, I would not otherwise purchase them again.

I was disappointed that these were too big, and that I’d have to pay the return shipping. I complained (via the review) and Sean at Performance replied soon after, offering a free return label. Changed my rating from 1-star to 4 (5 for great customer service, but minus 1-star because the sizing on these shoes is still way off).

Warning: These shoes size way big. I am usually shoe size 11 / EU 46. Tried 46 (huge) then 45 (still way too big) and then 44. Just right. But a big hassle to try 3 times to get the right size.

These are very mislabeled. They are about 1.5 or 2” longer than any of my other size 46 shoes, including cycling shoes. The trouble is, Performance does not allow exchanges, and you have to pay for a return. So even though this was not my mistake, I ended up paying for the return shipping. That, plus when I went back to their site to buy a smaller size, the price has gone up $26 so I decided to NOT purchase from Performance. They need to offer free try-on and return on shoes.

These are a comfortable sandal and work well with my spd pedals. Of note, these run very narrow and for me are hard to get the straps over the top of my foot. I will need to extend the velcro to be able to fit comfortably.

Overall, I am happy with the sandal and look forward to using them on Ragbrai this year.

Great biking sandals. Nice fit and well made. Unlike other biking sandals I have had, these have a low profile sole that does not interfere with pedaling. Good value.

Shimano SD5 SPD Cycling Sandals (Black) (44)
I measured per your instructions for the size (length) , I wish they were a 43 and not a
44 but they will work. Pleased I purchased new clips, the snap in so nice, your instructions
suggested new clip annually, I did new and am pleased, they snap in like a champ.
Because of that I have ordered 2 more sets of clips, am waiting for them to arrive.

The Best of the BEST…it’s summer and if you’ve never biked in sandals…you are missing out on another of life’s biking pleasures! Much cooler than hot road shoes and guess what?? No loss of connection to your pedal…they are as snug as you want them to be! I even got a compliment on them from a stranger as I walked into a store…who literally liked my sandals! She was surprised when I said they were my bike shoes. Recessed cleats make walking around IN STYLE easy, too! The only down side is having to go back to my road shoes when the chill of fall comes calling…

Durable, high quality and my favorite bike accessory!

Bought these to replace the same pair I have had for 17+ years. They are even better than the original ones. I could not love these any more than I do. They stay clipped in and are so comfortable.
