I have not had these long, but I waited until I put approximately 50 miles on them before I reviewed them. These shoes, in conjunction with the pedals, are my first at click in pedals. Thus, I don't have a great ability to compare them to other shoe/ pedal experiences.
Why I Purchased: Based on conversations, it seemed as though cycling shoes and pedals allows you to more efficiently "pedal" as you are able to exert power on the up swing of your leg's rotation.
What I Wanted: Nice shoes from a dependable company that makes quality gear.
These shoes have satisfied my needs. They are well constructed, have nice buckles and straps, are comfortable, reasonably priced, and stylish. The cleats are easy to place on the shoe and they work well with the Shimano PD-5700 105 Road Bike Pedals, Silver that I purchased from Amazon.
If you are a new cyclist and on the fence about purchasing click in pedals, I would recommend it.
Pros: Affordable (in a relative sense); well constructed (stitching, buckles, straps, and cleats), from a very well-respected company; well-reviewed; comfortable; prime eligible; and as stylish as bike shoes can get.
Cons: Sizing. I wear a 9.5 in New Balance Shoes. I can go to a 9. I ordered a 43 and they were too big. A 42 was just right for me.
I recommend this product and give my stamp of approval to it.

I just wanted to let others with wide feet know that these shoes fit well on my feet. I wear a US 9.5 EEEE shoe, and I purchased the size 44 wide shoes. While not quite as wide as my feet, they're much more comfortable then other cycle shoes I've worn. Although these aren't "Custom" fit shoes, the fine adjustments in the velcro and ratchet on the shoe's upper mean I can make these as tight or loose as I require.
I use these with SPD style cleats and I've been able to use them both on my road bike as well as on a spin bike without trouble.
Best Deals on Shimano SH-R087 Road Bike Shoes - Men's
I wear a 9.5E street shoe and a 10EE in my running shoes so I ordered a 43 wide in this Shimano road shoe. It fits me very well. Attaching the clips that came with my Shimano 105 pedals was very easy. I like the ratchet buckle both for how it closes and opens. I ride about thirty miles four to five times a week; with several hundred miles on the shoes they appear to be made very well.
Honest reviews on Shimano SH-R087 Road Bike Shoes - Men's
I have just over 300 miles experience with these shoes. They fit well, the size chart seems accurate. They are fairly light and the ratcheting top strop and two velcro closures allow for a snug but comfortable fit. They perform well with Shimano 105 pedals. I can't speak directly to longevity, but I have the M087 mountain bike shoe (same upper, different sole) which has held up well for over 1500 miles, now.

These shoes are great. It is amazing the difference between clip in pedals and the pedals with the strap. you can literally glide up mountains with them. I recommend getting the shimano pedals with these shoes. The shoe itself its quite rigid for maximum power transfer. the inside of them is very vented. I have taken the shoe out for some 50 milers and have yet to experience hot foot or numbness. All in all a great shoe that I highly recommend
