Nice shoe!

These fit to size for me. I've put 1500 miles on them and they still look new inside and out. I ride on gravel and road. The only thing that bothered me was I would start to feel the cleat on the bottom of my foot in rides that went over 25 miles. I put in some insoles and that took care of the issue. I think it's the price you pay for soft bottom shoes and I'm OK with that. They look good, walk good and I don't have to walk like a duck. It's all good.

Not up to specialized’s standard

I’ve have had 5 or 6 pairs of specialized shoes over 15+ years - All the same size, all fitted and performed really well, including a pair in this style from 2009 which I was hoping to refresh. The fit and quality of these particular shoes is off. I have wide feet, and these are both far too wide for my feet in the toe box, while also being short enough to press the toe against the front of the shoe. Also the quality and feel of the materials seems cheap. If I had not bought directly I would have suspected they were fakes.

Rime 1.0 Mountain bike shoe

Lace ups and Velcro strap to contain laces was best option for my wide, high arch foot. However, tongue part is high and presses into ankle so need cushiony socks. Only grey available in my size at time of ordering, prefer a brighter colour.

I have had four rides

I have had four rides with the shoes at this point in the review. That being said, the shoe does have very good support but is still a bit stiff. The rating is also based that it is a very good value for the price I paid. If it were expensive, it would slip to 4 stars.

No more painful feet

I love my Rime 1.0 shoes! Light on the feet. Great support, plenty of room with enough snugness for controlled riding. Also great to walk around in when off the mountain bike. I have issues with plantar fibromas and require good support and after riding with these shoes over the past 6 months my feet couldn't be happier!

The shoes are somewhere between

The shoes are somewhere between "good" and "great," but I think more on the side of "good." I have ridden approximately 500 KM since I bought the shoes both on platform pedalsm, on a mountain bike, and spsd clipless pedals, on a gravel bike. Riding clipless pedals is an improvement over the platform simply because there is a definite shoe slide off the foot position on the pedals on the platforms. While the added stiffness on the sole material is very welcomed as far as power transfer, in the very sandy roads I ride, the sand decreased friction leading to the "slide." I have not ridden in rainy weather, so I don't know their performance under these conditions. The old shoes with softer soles and additional surface contact did well on the sandy conditions. The gravel rides have been substantially better with clipless, the shoe barely registers as far as weight and comfort, and these things are good things. My only very small gripe, and on yesterday's ride it did not register, was the slightly stiff tongue, on one ride I had to stop and reposition the tongue since it was "digging" into the area of contact, and only on my right shoe.

I finally found my MTB shoe!

After two other brands of MTB shoes that I suffered through, I finally found THE SHOE. Very comfortable, true to size and my heels don't slip causing blisters on long rides. I loved my first pair so much that when they went on sale I bought another pair as backup. Very happy girl that can now shred it without sore feet.

SHOE GAME

To begin with, I ride six days a week and after 800 miles of doing it with a pair of ASICS gel, I finally came to the conclusion that mountain bike shoes would be the practical and more comfortable option. Nevertheless, it IS. You need these shoes or a different version of this shoe by Specialized to get the best of the best during and after your cadence cycling. Finally, color is amazing and bright !!!!

What I needed.

These shoes are reasonably comfortable and tough. Just having a strap across the shoelaces is a big help to me. I am pretty hard on my equipment,so I am hoping that theses shoes stand up over time.

Didn't need new shoes, but these were the same color as my new bike. Normally I steer clear of laces, but these got the snug fit I need. And I can wear them to and from the trail, unlike my fancy shoes.

I would buy again.

After a 20 year plus break from road biking I bought a new Specialized road bike. Since I'm riding again just for exercise, I bought the cheaper MTB shoes. They fit very well. And even new as they are, they are comfortable.

Simple and functional

If you are racing, this shoe is not recommended, get the next model up from this one. Sorry forgot the models name. This shoe is best for all around riding. Plus if you want to stop at your local cafe, your not going to waddle in. The shoe is stiff but not overly so like some of the pricer models and road shoes. It works well wih flats or clipless..
