A no compromise flat cycling shoe

"It fits my wide foot, offers excellent power transfer, and is durable. I like the style of the shoe. I love the BOA laces. The closest I've found to a no compromise flat cycling shoe."
"I love these! I'm not ready, nor do I have a NEED to clip into my pedals right now. I'm a casual rider who loves the exercise, and it's awesome to have these shoes to do so. I got them in green, which is a nice look, especially when mountain biking."
"They fit, comfortable & easily adjusted."
"I love them! Great for the next step. I'm seriously considering clip-in shoes now because of these. I love having dedicated cycling shoes ."
"I am impressed! This shoe is exactly what it claims to be. Flat pedal, easy to walk in, solid power transfer. Just the thing for a flat pedal road/touring shoe. I look forward to seeing how they hold up over time. They feel well constructed to I have high hopes. The BOA is nice. And yes they do run a little large. The 10. 5 (USA) fits my size 11 foot just fine."
"A bit of heel slippage for my foot. Ran a bit large, size nine. With Shimano cycling Sox."
"Excellent!"
"Just received my Shimano SH-ET701 shoes, love them! Precisely what I needed! The size fit is perfect, shoe design is outstanding and will work well with my MTB pedals. At present, I’m recovering from rotator cuff surgery. After a few falls from not clipping out without falling over and huge medical expenses (X-ray, MRI & Surgery), I’ve decided to forgo pedal cleats. Lastly, love the shoe colors, just wish they came in white as well."
"Works well with spiked pedals though doesnt come with best insoles but they can be swapped out for third party insoles so not a big deal. These are adjustable support foot all around rather then just the heel part which with normal shoes might end up digging into ankle."
"I found it difficult when researching to find a road shoe that did not have a clip in option. I wanted a flat shoe only but not a clunky mountain bike shoe. I've used this shoe several times now and really like the fit, performance and style. my only ding is the cost is a bit high."
