ExustarExustar Clipless Sandal for Cycling with Closed Toe Design

After reading the many reviews of former Keen commuter biking sandals, I bought a pair. My Keen's finally wore out also. I love the fact that these have arch support for my feet.

In preparation to ride RAGBRAI 2023, I wanted a pair of SPD riding sandals. I ordered two different sizes from another brand but the straps were too short (seems to be a problem in this year's model) and I was getting discouraged, but then I decided to the Exustar sandals a try. I AM SO HAPPY WITH THIS DECISION!The fit is very comfortable and I did not develop any chaffing or hot spots. The closed toe design is actually quite a benefit both on and off the bike. Even after a 90 mile day, my feet still were very comfortable walking around campsites, into the expos, taking a shuttle into town, etc.I find the sandals very well constructed and durable. I think they will last through many adventures.

I love this pair of biking Sandals but we needed to order up. Figuring European sizes is tough. Once we got the sizing correct, they have been fabulous! Love the covered toes for safety when riding!

Fit well, decent quality for the money

I bought the Exustar E-SS515 Clipless Sandal 45-46 Euro or 11-12 US, Black so I'd have something I could wear into a store or restaurant without the loud clacking noise that I get from my Shimano road shoes with the 2 screw SPD cleats when I ride in the summer. These do a very good job. They don't click on hardwood or flat floors. I do get a grinding sound when walking on less even cement with small rocks in it like in my driveway, though. Still a massive improvement. I normally wear a Men's 10 1/2 and go to a size 11 if the 10 1/2 isn't available. The 45-46 Euro size fits very good.Pros: SPD cleats do not click on smooth surfaces because the cleats are slightly recessed They are comfortable to wear You can't tell they are clipless biking sandals just by looking at them They work with my dual platform multi-use pedals that came stock on my Gary Fisher Mendota They guard your toes with the toe cap - I've ground up a bunch of nice flip flops when the toe area has hit the ground in the past. No hard scrapes on the toes, thankfully!Cons: They are a trickier (tighter fit) to clip in due to the narrow recessed cleat box, when compared to my Shimano road bike shoes The cleats makes a grinding sound on the pebbles in slighty bumpy pavement - (they are very shallowly recessed)Yeah, these area great for me. I would recommend them to a friend and also buy them again if anything happened to them. Hope this helps. Happy Ridin'!

Very good sandals and comfortable. Hope they last a long time.

I bought these to replace my ancient Keen cycling sandals which were starting to fall apart. These are superior in most ways with the one big exception being that the plate in the sole to which the cleat is secured cannot be replaced. This means that when the plate finally rusts out (which happened to my *really* old Shimano cycling sandals) the sandals need to be tossed - or used simply for walking.The Speedplay Frog cleats protrude very slightly from the sole, making a sound on pavement with every step. The Keen sandals were a bit more recessed, so rubber always hit the road.Otherwise, I am quite happy with these sandals.

I am 71 years old. I started riding a bicycle about 3 years ago. I ride for fun and for exercise. Speed is really unimportant to me. I ride in Florida and in Illinois. I usually ride 100 to 150 miles a week in Florida and 75 to 100 per week in Illinois. Occasionally I do a ride of 55-75 miles. I use flat pedals with posts. I wore running shoes until until I purchased these sandals. Several times I got a hot foot while wearing the running shoes. After RAGBRAI a few of my toes had numbness. I believe the running shoes were not wide enough and compressed my toes as well as were insufficiently ventilated. I decided to try sandals to solve the foot problems. I decided on these because there was a cover on the bottom and I use flat pedals.Size: I normally wear a size 11 M. I bought size 11-12 (US), 45-46 (European). These fit well.Width: I had purchased some 510's but returned them because I did not think they were wide enough. These sandals had the ample width.So Far: I have not done any long rides so I don't know about my hot foot. However, they have good width so my foot is not compressed and there is plenty of room around the toe so I hope this will solve my toe issues The bottom of the sandal does well because the posts grab well in the slots of the bottom of the shoe. However, I did ride when it was drizzling and the sandals slipped quite a bit. Overall these sandals were good for someone like me. They are comfortable and ventilated with sufficient width.

product arrived in good time and is as pictured and has great spaces underneath for adding clips for clip in pedals excellent buy very happy.
