Sweet Robert thanks for chiming in!

You and me both!

Hmm I don’t know I’ve never used their size chart.

Hello Luis - yes all the way back. In just about any shoe getting the cleat back helps align your foot to the pedal spindle. Where do you ride your cleats and why?

As a ONE man shop I don't take shoes back after they have left the store. I disagree that someone needs to do a bike ride to ensure they have the proper sized shoe. People should buy anything and everything with the expectation that they will not attempt to return it especially for full refund something that they have worn. Being the devil's advocate... What would/does a shop do with a worn pair of shoes? Lastly, I sell Shimano and Pearl Izumi to a lot of first-time sho buyers because they offer a 60-day fit guarantee :-)

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad In Germany it´s actually quite common to have returned products at online stores - even in small shops. Sometimes leads to bizarre situations with pricing for basically like-new stuff. (not only bike-related) You have a right to return products that were bought online here, I believe the only thing a shop can do is charge a fine if the item has visible signs of usage. Apparently it´s done so commonly that something like the previous RC902 actually has bad reviews at a very common bike-store here, because people received slightly scratched stuff as new. Not that I´m for this kind of behavior, but I´d actually appreciate some kind of... rental? or try before you buy service for saddles and shoes in general. For daily / gravel riding l have a pair of RX-8´s here which cause me problems in maybe 25% of the rides at some point. The shoe fits - but I have problems with the overlapping tongue that Shimano used there. Only noticed that on the bike after some hours - would´ve wished to get that experience before I bought the thing. 😅 Sadly from my experience here, it´s hard to really find good bike-shops (not online) where you´d like to buy stuff and can fully trust the recommendations from them.

@@Freacer1 I have demo saddles in several brands/models. People can ride them before they buy. That should be common in EVERY bike shop. Once they find one they like I sell them a new one.

Yea indeed! I had been using my preferred insoles from SQ Labs, makers of my saddle of choice. Because I believe I would truly be a 44.5, which they don’t make in the limited edition, the stock insole fit me better by not taking up too much of the volume. If I get the white pair I will order 44.5 and try again to use the SQ Lab insoles.

It was too big of a shoe for a 45. Nothing to elaborate.

I’ve never ridden in CX332’s. I own 2 pair of CX403. These are dramatically different shoes. The Shimano is more like a traditional shoe we have grown accustomed to - it is a sole with an upper glued on top. The CX403 is a shoe that is a full carbon tub it isn’t just the sole the carbon comes up and around a quarter of the way up. It’s also moldable at home. 2 different shoes entirely

i tried and succeeded can even share the phottos of how badly they got broken 0:01

@@MsDavo123 Do people typically ask you for photo evidence? Why don't they just believe you? Anyway, I think Shimano shoes are durable... not literally indestructible.

The cleat is a Look Keo Black 0 degree float. I ride Favero Assioma Power Meter pedals.

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad thanks..also Shimano s=Phyre socks are specially made for these shoes--they have padding on top of the sock right where there is pressure from the strap..i use them and like them...also im with you with fixed cleats.. remember when we nailed cleats on? float? no
