ShimanoSH-SD501 Cycling Sandal(Return to Product Page)

Wonderful biking shoe even for long rides. Comfortable and stylish. Feet stay cool. Perfect fit with adjustable straps. Love them.

I would never ride with sandals, or flip-flops after the accidents and falls I've had. After reading the reviews, I took a chance on these. They are the most comfortable biking shoes I have ever had! My feet are secure, and much cooler than usual. As an extra bonus, the pretty part of my socks are visible, so my clothes match my kit!

These sandals are perfect for riding around the neighborhood or a longer ride in warmer weather but wear light socks so your feet don't get too sweaty - stiff enough to keep tension on pedals, don't buy them too loose, get a half size smaller if you want the contact to be close to cycling shoes - they will NEVER feel like cycling shoes so please don't expect them to be - very good use for what they are intended for.

I hate wearing closed toe shoes during the warmer months but also like to be clipped in, so these are a perfect fit. My only complaint is I sized up to a 45 instead of buying 44 and they're smidge too big, my fault but still work great. Also, I do get a bit of toe overlap when riding my urban bike with fenders. I will definitely buy another pair once these wear out!

These SH-SD501 sandals are Slightly better than my previous pair of Shimano sandals which I have been using for six (possibly eight) years. They are more foot friendly in that they are lighter and have, I think, more of a rocker sole, which makes them easier to walk in. I can wear waterproof socks when it rains and more wool socks underneath them if it is too cold, since they are adjustable to accommodate the extra bulk. There is also the option of wearing Goretex overboots for even more insulation on top of all that. Altogether, they are the most versatile bike footwear I have ever used and I will not wear anything else unless someone designs a better product. I'm a year round cyclist and tourist and do not own a car.

Great price and quality construction. Shimano has great products.

I use my cycling sandals daily for commuting to work on Guam. I love their comfort and ease to use! I no longer need to use socks, allowing my feet to breath which is awesome! On wet cycling days I don't have to worry about whether by shoes will dry before I need them for my return commute. For tropical climates these are definitely the way to go!

Shimano has these dialed after years of production. Great outdoors in the summer but also great indoors year round with Zwift!
