When it comes to cycling shoes, fit is everything! If the shoe is uncomfortable and, God forbid, causes you pain, then it does not matter how amazing the features are. Knowing all this, I was a bit hesitant to buy a pair online, however, Covid-19 made the decision for me. I followed the advice of a retailer and went for a size up to my regular shoe size.
Â
Since I normally wear 42 EU you can do the math and realize that I ended up with 43Â Spiuk Aldama Carbon BOA.Â
The size turned out to be perfect for me. I have just a bit of space at the toe cap for some thicker socks during winter months and overall my toes feel very comfortable. The heel cup also hugged my foot perfectly so there is no wiggle room.
Â
I really wanted to see how they perform on longer distances and took them on a 100 km cycle. The end result really exceeded my expectations! I had no discomfort, no blisters, no pain and I can confidently say that Spiuk’s Aldama Carbon BOA shoes are as comfortable for me as it gets.Â
