I typically wear a US women's size 9 sometimes 8&1/2, so ordered the size 39. Even with just a pair of stockings it was way to snug to wear. Will return for a larger size (41).

Great, comfortable shoes! Soft soles make them comfortable for riding, less performance-oriented, but if you get off the bike (for coffee?) you'll be glad these are on your feet. I went from the old-style "board-under-your-feet" shoes, and couldn't be happier. Warning: They run VERY small! Order at least one, if not two, sizes larger than normal.

I wear Pearlizumi shows and needed a mountain bike style shoe . I ordered the exact same size that I wear in a road shoe.Ordering was easy and the shoes came quickly ...However, they were more than size too small...I had to return them .
I apparently need to try on shoes before I buy, so I doubt I'll order shoes on line any more .The only way to be more certain about correct size is to some how measure your foot ,or have a self outline of your foot to be able to compare that with the size chart...I haven't bought a shoe yet-I'm using shoe covers-they work!

I have had my shoes for a while now, and love the fit and feel. The only thing I found weird was the smell of them.
I originally thought the smell came from the dirt near where I typically ride. (It's a along the bay and near salt flats - and is really stinky at certain times of the year) After cleaning them, I noticed they still smelled weird and if left in my car - stunk it up! I still chalked it up to getting muddy in the hills. Just this past weekend, I was in REI and came across the newer version of these. I am not sure why I did it, but I smelled them and they stink too! I have no idea what the materials are, but whooh! SO...great shoe for the riding I do, just have to keep them in a ventilated area!
