I've had a pair for about a month now, and have a handful of indoor rides on them. I'm loving them so far. If you're looking at a Boa shoe in that price range I'd definitely recommend them. Plus the matching socks are cool.

My other shoes are Giro, and I got the same size in Shimano and they fit well. I had a pair of Specialzied S-works shoes that were about 4 years old, and they were a full size smaller than the Shimano and Giro (41.5 vs. 42.5). I think the Specialized shoes were a little on the small size for me, and the longer I've been riding I've tended to like a shoe with a little more room in the toe box, so actual sizing between Shimano and Specialized may be close.

I haven't tried the shoes in question, but he fit/shape between Shimano and Spec is pretty close. With width as the determining factor, I'm one size larger in Shimano (46) vs Spec (45).
I might have to try these Shimanos vs the lace-up Spec S-Works in the spring.

Shimano shoe sizing varies wildly from model to model so make comparisons with a grain of salt...

I still haven't ridden mine yet, but I have a 44, which is what I wear in other brands, so the sizing seems to be true. Little bit more "fitted", but probably because these are $400 shoes, and are more finely tuned for a better fit.
The blue is unreal, they are more eye catching than fluorescent colors. Can't be wearing these soft pedaling around the neighborhood!
BTW, you can find these for under $350 from German websites...if you want to take a chance on size.

I'd buy those blue ones immediately if I were a little richer, and if I didn't already have Shimano shoes that I have no problem with.

When I last was looking at new shoes I tried them on at a couple of bike shops. One model would fit in a 46, another would require a half or full size (or two!
) up or down.I was only looking at MTB shoes although I actually ended up getting a pair of Shimano spin shoes (FN51) that are easily the most comfortable bike shoes I have ever worn.
Too bad they have been discontinued...
