I recently joined a friend for spin class and found out how great this workout is!! I noticed that many people had the spin shoes with the SPD clips and decided to buy a pair to help enhance my performance. I am also a runner and found that when I was riding out of the saddle it put a lot of pressure on my plantar through my workout shoe. The spinning shoes have a hard sole which alleviates that pressure. I read a lot of reviews and decided to try the Pearl iZUMi shoes as they have good feedback and are reasonably priced. BE AWARE you really should order these shoes 1/2 size larger than what you regularly wear -especially if your foot is not narrow. I made the mistake of ordering my true shoe size. During my first class with the new shoes my toes were squashed into the toe and were throbbing the next day (may even lose a nail on the tall toe). I returned the shoes and ordered a half size bigger which fit perfectly!! The sizes are Euorpean so they don't truly measure true to US sizes; hence the problem (e.g. a size 40 is actually a 7.8 in US sizing). Love these shoes now so comfortable and they have truly made a difference in my performance in spin class. You will need to order the SPD clips (they don't come with the shoe) and they are relatively easy to install (check out you-tube videos) or if you need to, have the bike shop install for you.

I love this shoe. The order came in quickly, so the service was very good.
I had read the reviews and based on one of them, I ordered the size 39. I am a size 8 but I had purchased shoes in Europe before and the 39's had fit. One of the reviews here stated that the shoes ran a little large, so I thought I was safe but it was not the case. I returned the 39's and ordered the 40. They fit perfect, so I believe they run very true to size.
I bought the shoe for a road bike I purchased. I know these are a bit of a cross over shoe but based on the type of riding (and walking upon my arrival), as well as wishing to use them for spinning class, the recessed sole for the clip was important to me and makes walking much easier when off the bike. The profile of the shoe is very sleek, so it does not look like a mountain bike shoe.
The metallic trim color is very light and attractive. I was afraid it would be a bit glitzy and it is not.
Very attractive, very comfortable shoe that works well on my road bike and in spinning class.

I take a spin class a few times a week so that was my primary reason for purchasing. Before that I wore my regular gym sneakers. I notice a big difference wearing these shoes vs the regular sneakers. They are not super stiff however there is a huge difference in stability while spinning. My only issue would be that I didn't realize that they did not come with the cleats and those are sold separately. I just purchased those at a local bike shop and they put them on for me.
Honest reviews on Pearl iZUMi Women's W All-Road II Cycling Shoe
Other reveiwers posted about small sizing, but I've had mixed experiences when I deviate my normal 8.5 size. Ordered 8.5 and shoe is very snug. I did not return as I waited too long to open the box : ) but the fit is still find for my indoor spin class

Pearl iZumi is a great brand so I should not be surprised that these shoes are super comfortable and fit true to size. I was told to order 1/2 size up and I did; however, size 10/ EU 43 was too big. I'm a 9 1/2 in sneakers and the 9 1.2/10 EU 42 fits perfectly.
