I’m writing this review specifically to address how to order the “right” size. As of time of this review, the listing is messed up because it uses a conversion from mens US size -> EU size, even though this is a womens shoe.
Tips:
1. Add the shoe to your cart and the EU size will appear in the item description in the cart!
2. For reference, I ordered 2 sizes, 6.5-7 (received EU 40), 7.5-8 (received EU 41)
I’m usually a US 7.5, and EU 40 should be the right size for me in these shoes. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough volume in the shoe for my foot, like my arch is too high. I’ve never had this issue with any shoe before trying womens cycling shoes! I had to loosen the velcro significantly to for the shoe to be comfortable, which was a bummer. EU41 fit perfect around my foot but is a smidge too long.
I ended up with the Shimano RP101 in EU40, I believe the unisex sizing provides sufficient space for my foot. At the spin studio, the rental shoes that fit me are unisex as well (Specialized brand, size EU39).

Very comfortable and well constructed. Sizing guidance is the worst I’ve seen ever. I’m usually size up to a W6 normally. If possible, I’d say my perfect size is a 5.7 or so.
Like others have said, add these to cart to get the EU size which is more helpful
EU 37 is W 5-5.5. The shoe’s tag says 5.5
EU 38 is W 6.0-6.5. The shoe’s tag says 6.5
EU 39 is W 7. The shoe’s tag says 7
The shoes are more true to size for what the tag says, so higher end of the range if there is one. I sized up to the 6.5 and it seemed comfortable enough riding. I could strap in well enough I wasnt moving around even though I sized up significantly.

Ordered a US women’s size 8.5/9. According to the sizing guide that is a Europe 43. That isn’t correct, it’s an 40. Also lists women’s 8.5/9 is the same as a men’s 8.5/9. Men and women’s sizes are not the same! Makes it very difficult to order based on these incorrect sizing guides.

Los zapatos son del tamaño esperado y cómodos, los clip spd-sl le quedan a la primera sin problemas. Este modelo específico es para mujeres, incluso en la caja del embaque lo menciona que tiene el ajuste de zapato acondicionado para pies de mujeres, esto es contrario a lo que menciona en el título de la publicación que dice ser calzado para hombre. Los compré para regalo y los usaría una mujer, pero hay que tener precaución con ese detalle en la publicación.

I got four sizes of these shoes, because the entire internet couldn’t agree whether these ran small or large. According to Shimano, their EU 41 is a US 8.5-9, so I’m not sure why Amazon says these run large—not according to my feet! I finally ended up with an EU 41, a full size larger than my normal EU 40 (US 9 for running shoes).
Once I found my proper size, I found these comfortable for my normal width feet. I also tried the Bontrager Solstice shoes (a very similar model), and Shimano won for both fit and looks. The shoe wrapped around my foot better (I have high arches), and the material didn’t wrinkle/overlap when I fastened the Velcro.
Overall great shoes, but figuring out the sizing was vexing. I recommend going up a full size from your normal EU measurement.

Pedi talla 36 y llego 39…. 3 veces!! Nunca recibí la talla correcto.
Los zapatos son bonitos y el precio está bien- pero es una rifa de que talla te dan. Frustrante!

A pesar que son muy bonitas, me mandaron el número incorrecto. Estoy en proceso de devolución. La verdad para lo que tardan en llegar uno espera que no existan errores de este tipo. En fin, mal servicio.

My spin studio rents these shoes out, and I really like them. The 39/7.2/24.5cm is the size I normally wear (pictured), and I wanted to buy a personal pair.
First of all, the sizing chart doesn’t match the size options on Amazon, so I guessed and went with the 6.5-7 size on Amazon, thinking that equated to the 39/7.2 size I wanted, but instead a size 40/7.8 came in the mail, which doesn’t make any sense. I returned them and want to buy my exact size, but since it’s not available in the list of options and I’m afraid to get another pair that doesn’t fit. It shouldn’t be this difficult!

If you have wide feet, these are nice.
