Customer Reviews Giro Petra™ VR

I wear a size 9 in street shoes but purchase a 42 in cycling shoes. I originally had the giro rela but the cleat shaft broke and they were no longer available in my size. After trying several other brands I ordered this shoe. The giros are superb when it comes to comfortable foot beds. No other shoe I tried was as comfortable. They also make the prettiest cycling shoes in my opinion. I do want to say I love Zappos. After my first pair broke they credited me for the full cost. And with buying she's online you never know how they fit till you get them so Zappos free shipping and returns are helpful as well as the quick turn around time. Thanks you Zappos!

I needed a pair of cycling shoes suitable for flat pedals for a mountain bike (MTB) clinic. I have narrow feet (9 AA US) but have had good luck with Giro shoes since they tend to run narrow. Upon recommendation from a friend, I ordered this particular Giro flat cycling shoe in my normal Euro 40 size and also in a size Euro 41 since Giro's sizing chart confirms that they run about a full size small. Both the size 40 and 41 arrived. As has been the case with previous Giro cycling shoe purchases, the size 41 fit me best. I will be returning the size 40 to Zappos. One quick note, this is a great shoe that has good style and that fits my foot very well. I will say that there is virtually zero arch support in these shoes (Giro's insole insert is very thin & flat). I replaced the stock footbed with one from CurrexPro (the High Arch version, size medium). With the CurrexSole installed, I have a very comfortable and great-fitting flat pedal shoe.

Great my pretty light recreational cycling (maxing out at about 50 miles/week). My feet are on the wide side and these were comfortable out of the box. Love that they're orthotics-friendly. Like the style, too!

Very nice bike shoes....great product, great price.

I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered one size larger than my existing shoes and one size was not enough- should have ordered two sizes larger! Unfortunately, that same shoe is not available so will return for something different.

I looked a long time for shoes that were versatile as a commuter shoe and didn't immediately scream "bike clips" and make me walk awkwardly because of the clips. These are perfect. I did buy the Giro women's insole and that made a big difference in comfort for my high arches. Love these shoes!

I generally wear a 39 and have wide feet, I purchased a 41 and they were perfect, I'd say they run closer to a size and a half small, unless you have rather narrow feet. They breathe well, do not make my feet hot. They could use a little more arch support for me (I usually wear Birkenstocks), which is why I will be adding heat mold inserts into them. They also are decently easy to walk in with the occasional rubbing of the cleat.

Great shoes - I used for instructing an indoor cycling class and they are very easy to clip in and out. Very cute, too. They pinch my toes a little, but I think they will stretch.

This is a great looking shoe that I wish fit me better! I usually wear a 39 (8 1/2) and tried a 40 and 41. The 40 felt too tight to risk keeping, but my heel slipped in the 41.The chart says I should wear a half size, that isn't offered in this style.I planned to use it for spin class and besides the toned down style that I really like, the sole seemed very user friendly if doing a little off of the bike.If you're closer to a full size than I am, it should work for you.

So far they are making my feet go numb. I do not understand why. They are not tight and I bought a pair of Spenco insoles and they are not helping. I wish that I could return them,but to try out cycling shoes you have to ride in them.
