My lad, at the age of 13, has got feet that are bigger than mine so he can't pinch my shoes anymore.

Was looking at a pair of these for him. Any good?

I bought some for my experiment with riding flats last year. They are very comfortable and seem well made. I wouldn’t suggest that the soles are particularly sticky, but I didn’t have too many issues on my Superstar Nano pedals.

Was the sizing OK? He has quite wide feet.

My son has the FLR branded ones (which Brant said were the same shoe). They are great for the price. I use 5:10 pro's and borrowed my son's shoes - not quite as good grip but close & not quite as comfortable.

I'll get some for my next shoes.

I normally take a size 44 for regular day to day shoes. I ordered the Vulcans in 45 and they were fine.

In the past I have had problems with shoes being too narrow, which is why I tend to go up a size if I order on line.

I got a pair last year, went up 1 size as I’ve got wide feet, the soles are softer, more like a skate shoe than 5 10s, are grippy on my superstar nanos but got chewed up quite quickly.
They’re light weight and the soft plastic material did cause my feet to heat up quick.
I got them for £30 on offer.
Not sure I’d buy them again.
