Very nice shoes for the price.

- Gijs, 12 January, 2024

Owned these shoes for a fortnight now. Took a few rides on them and overall very satisfied. The shoes they sufficiently stiff for the recreational rider and the sizing matches that of my normal shoes. Unfortunately, the Velcro can catch some dirt. However, this is not an insurmountable problem.

Pros & Cons

Correct sizing
Firm material
Good value for money
Reference lines for adjusting cleats
Relatively stiff sole
No replaceable heel pieces
Powerstrap less practical than BOA buckle
Velcro strap can trap dirt

Suitable for cyclists with narrow feet (I had problems unclipping because I could slide too much in my other shoes).

Good tight to pull on narrow feet
Nice
Little bit stiff but they are new

- Maiko van Huizen, 27 June, 2022

Lovely shoe. Sits nicely and nice and airy. Only downside is that it cannot be tightened as much as with, for example, laces or BOA system.

Pros & Cons

Airy
Comfortable
Looks nice
Tight fit is not possible

Very good value for money

- Antoine, 1 April, 2022

I bought these shoes in size 43, which is my usual size. A half size would have been an extra comfort for extra comfort. As I have quite a strong foot, the shoe compresses me slightly, like many other brands of shoes. The fit is really nice, you can feel the difference between the two Velcro straps. Even if you need to refine it a little because the precision is not as good as with BOA.

Highly recommended for people with a difficult foot like mine.

- Tim, 9 December, 2021

Already tried several shoes, but due to the shape of my feet never really found a good fit until I tried these powerstraps. Really satisfied with them

Pros & Cons

Good fit despite my hollow foot

poor fit

- Andres, 9 December, 2021

Shoes are nice. The Velcro strap is not strong enough. Even in sunny weather, dirt gets on the shoes easily. The fit is very poor. On the inside and especially the outside of your foot, the shoe is way too high and starts to hurt.

Pros & Cons

appearance
fit
gets dirty easily
Velcro is not powerful enough

Perfect cycling shoes

- Marie-Cécile, 29 June, 2021

Immediately found the right size thanks to the selection help. Great shoes, very comfortable and efficient and also beautiful. The only downside : when it rains heavily, your feet get soaking wet (but maybe that is the case with all cycling shoes ? These are my first ones).

Pros & Cons

Beautiful
Comfortable
Efficient
Not waterproof at all

Exactly right in all its simplicity.

Recommended to all.

- Martin, 25 March, 2021

I have now done a few cycling trips with these shoes. They fit fine, power transfer is also fine for me. I cycle around 60km 2 or 3 times a week myself. I haven't tried a full carbon sole yet but with these shoes in my possession, I don't need to. Maybe when these are worn out I will try them but for now I am very satisfied with the shoe. Price/quality, outstanding.

Pros & Cons

Easy to put on
Excellent stiffness for the recreational cyclist
Perfect fit
Without cleats

Good shoe, easy to adjust

- Bas, 12 March, 2021

The smart straps make these shoes very easy to adjust on your foot, also depending on how tight you want the shoes to be. Velcro straps stay on fine even when cycling.

Pros & Cons

Easy adjustment of straps
Good fit
Sleek design
Not for cold weather

Great value for money

- Nico, 26 February, 2021

Great shoe that fits slightly wider feet. Velcro closes well and can be adjusted to your own preference. Price-quality is excellent.

Pros & Cons

Does not constrict
Fits wider feet
Overshoes needed in colder weather

Good service, nice shoes

- Joland, 5 August, 2020

I have pretty flat feet, so finding good shoes is not always easy. In the shop in Utrecht, I tried on all the shoes in this price range, with many thanks to Mantel's patient and knowledgeable lady. And these were the most comfortable. I actually wanted shoes with rotating buckles, I don't like velcro so much. But these were the best fit, and that's what really matters. I have now cycled a good 500 km on them, and they are nice and sturdy yet comfortable. Also made of nice material, and little dirt sticks to them in wet weather.

Pros & Cons

Comfortable
Easy to keep clean
Neatly finished
Velcro is less attractive than twist closure
