Why We Like The SD5 Cycling Shoe
If you've ever gone on a casual cruise in sandals but couldn't get over your natural inclination to rip a few sprints, Shimano sends your open-toed cycling into full flight with the SD5 Cycling Shoe. "Shoe" is a bit of misnomer, as the SD5 is an open-to-the-breeze, dual strap cycling sandal with a fiberglass-reinforced rubber sole and compatibility for a two-bolt cleat. So whether you are on the way to a casual weekend burrito lunch or shredding home from the end-of-semester class for summer break, you'll feel the breeze on the toes and the traction on the pedals.

Excellent Customer Service!!!!!!

I got the Shimano cycling shoes for Christmas but they were ordered a size too small. I followed the instructions online and sent them back. However, I wanted an exchange. I called to get the status of my return and the nice agent told me that he could perform the exchange with me on the phone! So awesome. I'll definitely buy again from this company!

I use my sandals for just about everything. I bike to work and use these sandals to keep cool during the hot Utah days. Not to mention they leave a sweet tan line on my feet. I do enjoy the fact that these are comfortable and don’t stink up like others. Sometimes I’ll just use these and switch over to my birkenstock. However I don’t necessarily hear the metal clip on the ground to many times so there’s no annoying way of walking. They are true to size and just a bit more. So make sure you use that when you’re choosing your size!

As good as it gets
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Pricey but if they last the 10 years I expect like my last pair of inferior sandals than well worth it.
