Customer Reviews Shimano SH-M088

Don't buy this shoe from Zappos unless you are replacing another pair. They don't provide a clear plate to attach a cleat to with the shoe. The cleat kit ( Shimano Cleat Set SM-SH56) also doesn't come this the plate. So there is no way to attach the cleat to the shoe. If you can pillage one from another shoe you are OK. Otherwise you will end up at REI or a bike shop to find a plate. You are better off just buying the shoe at REI or a Bike shop who will provide it with the plate. Even if they have to special order them, it will save you a lot of frustration.

I am new to indoor spinning class. I was wearing my running shoes but having discomfort in my arches. I purchased these shoes in hopes of eliminating that and they have performed with flying colors. Fit was true to size. Comfort they are very comfortable Support the stiff soles take the pressure off my feet and give me a much more comfortable ride and work-out. Arch support pretty flat inside. I have custom orthotic inserts though which fit inside of them and work well. Binding note: these shoes do not come with the hardware one attaches to the bottom of the shoe that allows it to clip into the pedals. The hardware can be purchased at any decent cycling shop for around $25 though. So not a big deal. I would definitely buy this brand/model again and confidently recommend it to others who need a well built, properly fitting cycling shoe.

Great cycling shoes, D/Regular Width perfect fit for me not too narrow nor wide...I was worried about the clip nuts as another reviewer stated he didn't receive them, which wasn't my case. I received clip nuts with the shoes, also a clear film you put on the shoe to keep out water. Highly recommended.

This is one of the few bike shoes made for wide feet. Great shoe: good support, excellent closure adjustment and very comfortable. There is still a small problem: most "American" sized shoes that fit me well are 9.5/E or 9.5/wide. Luckily, I read online before ordering that these tend to run small; so I ordered my size - 44/E which corresponds to a 9.75/E - and one size larger - 45/E which corresponds to a 10.5/E. I'm glad I did: the 45/E is a perfect fit. So, if you want a great fit, order one size larger than you normally wear.

As others have stated, these shoes do not come with the cleat plate. So I had to purchase it separately.

This is my first new pair of cycling kicks in maybe 3 years, coming back to Shimano from Specialized. The reformulated rubber on the bottom is MUCH more walkable, much closer to the rubber on street shoes. No longer will you feel every step on the sidewalk rattle your bones with each clacky step. Per the other reviews, these are excellent for flat feet. I do not have wide feet, just very low arches, and these are wonderful. The shoes 3-strap design is highly adjustable. This shoe definitely meets the Shimano standard for quality.

Put about 200 miles on these shoes. I like them. Comfy and they do what they were made for.

My husband wears a size 16. All the blogs said his shoe ran a little small, but with the European sizing his shoe was a size 16.2 which gave him just the little edge he needed. He is very happy with the shoe and as usual your service was great!

The wide size is great for wide feet. The toe box is a still a little tight on me, but I can live with that. More importantly, this is the only SPD shoe I can wear with my wide feet!

These are the first pair of mountain biking shoes I've bought in a long time and these shoes are great. So comfortable and the best thing is the soles are tall enough that I don't wear down the spd clips walking on cement. I would definitely recommend someone either getting into the sport or someone who has been riding for aong time on these.

Great fitting cycling shoe. This shoe has been with me for the last year. It shows minimal wear and it comfortable. I use it as my commuter shoe. I usually leave another pair of shoes at work but have worn these all day and they are great.

I usually ride with SPD-SL (3-hole) shoes. But with winter approaching I wanted shoes that I could use on a spinning bike, and they all seem to require the SPD (2-hole) style shoes. I chose these shoes because they are available in wide widths. I have had them a couple of months and have been wearing them on outdoor winter rides (I put new pedals on my old cross bike which I use when the roads are full of sand and salt or are a little slick) and on the spinning bike, typically twice a week. The shoes fit and feel great; giving me all the room I need in the toe box without slipping in the heel. They seem to be well made and, despite a review or two to the contrary, they come with everything you need. And of course, the service from Zappos was top notch, as usual.

LOVE these shoes. I am size 14 and have difficulty getting a good fit. My right foot is slightly wider and usually hurts in new shoes. The Shimano's wore in nicely after a few rides. No pain in the right foot. Very comfortable to walk around in. Highly recommend.

The shoe was a little tight at first. After a couple of rides I think it got better. I was afraid the next size up would have been to long. The straps could have been a little longer. I feel they are about a 1/4 of an inch short for someone with wide foot. Straps barely made it to the latch. I had to push it down. Like I said after a few rides it got better, maybe they stretched. Overall I love the shoe.

I chose these shoes because they were available in wide sizes. I normally wear dress shoes size 9.5, so I picked size 44 Wide, which was perfect. I replaced the cleat with Shimano SM-SH56, because I thought they might be easier to release from the pedal. I'm new, so I don't really know if this is true. The shoes seem a little heavier than my other shoes, but I don't really notice the weight when I'm riding. At first I didn't care for the man-made upper, but after I was caught in a few rainstorms I've come to appreciate the quick-drying advantage over leather. Not really much arch support, but enough room to use an almost any insert of your choice. I'm very happy with these shoes.

Very pleased with this product. Great quality and value. Have logged well over 200 miles on the trail with these and am quite pleased. Some reviews knocked this shoe for its weight. This has not been an issue for me. Ordered a 47. I wear US 12 for running and 11 or 11.5 for non-athletic shoe. 47 is perfect.

They fit well, and are easy to adjust. I added in an insole for slight better arch support, but when riding I don't really notice it. The sticker inside the shoe for keeping water out, I suppose, is dumb and makes adjusting the position of the cleat impossible. I tried using it but after two tweaks of the cleat position I gave up.

I have long, narrow feet and have difficult time, not only finding regular shoes, but finding cycling shoes was nearly impossible! These shoes are extremely comfortable and fit my size 15 foot! I recommend these shoes.

I love these shoes! I needed a slightly wider shoe to fit my orthotics in and these fit the bill. I wear a regular size 11 and got the 46 Wide from Shimano and they fit perfectly! I race XC and 'Cross and these are both stiff enough for the pedals yet flexible enough to run in. Extremely comfortable for long days in the saddle and they wear well too. Can't beat the price when compared to other high end shoes. I put these up against my Sidis and Pearl Izumis any day.

These are not just comfortable biking shoes, but they're the most comfortable shoes, regardless of type, that I own. Easy on and off, and easy to secure.

I have very wide feet, so my choice of bike shoes is very limited. These fit, so I'm happy. I normally take a 10 1/2 EEE or 11 normal, and according to the chart this should have been a 45 or 46. However, 47 was the right size, so go a bit bigger than normal. The buckles and construction all seem very good. No complaints.

I ordered different mountain bike shoes but they were a bit too narrow. Zappos exchanged them for the SH-M088s (fits perfectly) and the whole process was painless.

Wide size Shimano mtn biking shoes are excellent! Great fit and feel and they seem to be very well made. Zappos had the most sizes of this shoe in stock as I could not find my size on any of the biking web sites. Thank you Zappos!

These shoes are great - I went with the 15 wide (typically hard to find) and they are absolutely perfect. Extremely comfortable, excellent traction in the sand, and completely changed the way I ride. I could barely keep up with my Tri-Athlete friend, but now he is trying to keep up with me! Can't believe I waited so long to clip in. And thank you Zappos! These things were on my front door practically the next day. Incredible.

Excellent mountain biking shoes. I've found these shoes fit like a glove and are very comfortable to ride in. I have a large foot, size 15 w, so I purchased the 51 wide. They fit almost perfectly. They felt a little snug at first but have stretched to be almost perfect. Just be careful with the ratchet as you can easily cut of circulation to your feet. As for looks, these look great. My wife commented they made feet look small to her! I guess that's a good thing. Use: I currently use these with CB Candy pedals and they work nicely. The tread is pretty deep so I needed to use spacers and CB metal plates to get the spacing just right so I could clip in and still just contact the spindle with the sole. Also, I needed to move the cleat around to find the right position but there was just enough space so my feet do not rub up against the cleat. My only negative comment are the insoles could be a little more subtle and less abrasive but I don't notice them once my foot is locked in. I also have the previous years version the M087 and I find these more comfortable and slightly larger. Finally, I would like to thank Shimano for making shoes for larger foot riders. Not many other brands make a size 15, let alone a 15 wide. I know SIdi makes some larger sizes but I hear they run a little slim and cost 3 to 4 times as much.
