Bontrager's SSR Mountain Shoes are perfect for touring cyclists, commuters and anybody else that needs a shoe with a good balance of stiffness for pedaling efficiency and flexibility for walking. They feature rubber outsoles for great traction and SPD cleat mounts so you can clip in for Spin class and jaunts across town. The street-smart, lace-up design lets them blend in while you're grabbing your morning coffee, while the single Velcro strap customizes the fit and keeps your laces out of the way. Wherever you ride, the SSRs are comfortable, stylish and durable.
Just got the shoes along with the Shimano hybrid pedals. Was a little unsure at first about going from platform to clipless pedals, but was very surprised at how comfortable the shoes were and how easily I was able to adapt to a bike-specific shoe. I had expected a little heel slippage, nothing that can't be dealt with.Thanks to my LBS for helping me make an intelligent choice.

The only reason I didn't give these 5*s is because the width was a little wide but, I wear an "A" width so take that into consideration. These are my first bike shoes so still getting used to them but wanted a lace up shoe and the velcro strap helps to cinch them up nicely. Was used to toe clips so the clipless shoes and pedals have worked great!! Thanks to Champaign Cycle for helping with my choice...
