Giro Men's Ranger Cycling Shoes - Lightweight & Durable Road Bike Shoes for Men | Perfect for Road Racing, Commuting & Indoor Cycling Training

A good shoe with one huge flaw: the top strap. It is way too high and is way too stiff/sharp. The shoe fits well, is quite light, holds your foot in place and is quite stiff for a semi-entry level shoe. All that would be great if the shoe could be worn without pain while pedaling, especially out of the saddle. The top strap just digs into the top of your foot. The lack of tongue padding and the stiffness of the strap itself doesn't help. I've used them on my gravel bike and it is bad enough, there is no way I can use these on my MTB as it would be overly painful, and I'd worry about doing actual damage to the top of my foot. Three rides in and lots of strap adjustments and no improvements. Another reviewer said to loosen the strap but that only slightly lessens the pain and discomfort but also lessens the shoes hold on your foot. Another reviewer cut a huge arc out of his (his review includes a picture). Walking in these on anything beside a completely flat surface is impossible. I'm going to return them even after cleat mounting and 3 rides as the box states that Giro has a 60 day wear/return policy so they are going back.
