Shimano Cycling Sandal Not Comfortable 
2007-07-15
I found this cycling sandal to be quite uncomfortable and 3 steps backwards from Shimano's previous 2 strap model in my opinion! The SH-SD65 gave me blisters across the top of my feet and from a temperature perspective, the 3 straps with more substantial side straps makes it more like a shoe with an open toe than a sandal. Therefore they aren't nearly as cool as the previous model. I recently purchased a cycling sandal from Lake (LXSDL) which is much more similar to the old Shimano sandal - extremely comfortable and no blisters after 6 rides! The Lake sandal is about the same price as the Shimano too so I'd strongly recommend it over the Shimano if you're looking for an SPD cycling sandal.

These sandals are decent for the most part. Fairly stiff and will fit Speedplay frogs. One thing I don't like about them is that they have three straps and are more closed than earlier models. I buy sandals because they are cooler than shoes but these feel closer to a shoe.

Making cycling even more fun than it already is.
I've owned & loved a pair of Shimano SPD sandals for 15 years & this new design is a noted improvement over the early model.

My feet kill me when I ride. After giving these cycling sandals a shot; for the first time in years, my feet don't kill me! I have tried different, pedals, cleats, shoes, and bought the best, but still no relief from the pain. Now, I can enjoy the ride, with much less pain. I love them :~)
Best ever

Don't worry about protecting your foot. There is a metal plate inside the sole. So only snake country would be a problem. You will feel better if your feet can breathe!

The older model of these shoes was fabulous. I am hoping the same type of comfort and performance from this "next gen" version.

The perfect shoe for me. Doesn't look dorky at the cafe like ALL other clipless shoes. Keeps toes breezy cool and wiggly free while providing firm stable spd platform.
