Nike SuperRep Cycle

I like them, going up a whole size from my sneaker size was the right move. However, the strap starting separating within weeks of use. This is what is looks like after having them for 5 months.

I made the mistake of sizing up and now I'm stuck waiting for my normal Nike size to arrive. I'm a size 9 in every other type of shoe, but a solid 9.5 in anything Nike. I ordered a 10 in these based on reviews, but they give me at least 3/4" of extra length. I'm not sure if people reviewing these are inexperienced, don't know what to look for in cycle shoes, or what. But in my experience, these shoes should fit pretty ideally in your normal Nike size. To help anyone who may be unsure on sizing, please note that you don't need as much space in cycling shoes as you do in running/athletic shoes. When cycling, any pressure applied to your feet should go towards moving the pedal, not towards moving your foot around inside the shoe. If your foot if shifting around in the shoe, you're losing power - power that would otherwise be transferred to your pedal and overall output during your workout. Cycling shoes should be snug. Your toes shouldn't hit the end, but there should only be enough space to wiggle them (1/4" or so of space is a good rule of thumb). So I guess all of that said, these shoes *do* run small compared to how your typical Nike size would feel in a running shoe. But as these are for cycling and *should* be more snug, your standard Nike size should be just right. Now, I did try the 10's out once just to make sure they were even worth re-ordering in my proper size. They're insanely comfortable - it felt like I wasn't wearing anything at all (except for when I felt my feet slipping in them). They're like butter. Super breathable, no pinchy points, and I imagine they'll feel even better in my correct size. Can't comment on durability yet, but I'll update my review after I've put some miles on them.

Comfortable shoe, but I had to return after ordering a half size up to a full size up. Wish they would have come with the entire clips for the shoe. I ordered a good pair of clips, but they are moving on the plastic bottom of the shoe & not staying in place.
