Have ordered the shoe and got after 3 days a message that the shoe but not in stock would (previously came funnily enough the Sent confirmation). Did the shoe then somewhere else ordered and am now after almost 500km use still satisfied. 'M with, driven times without socks and never had problems with blisters or bruises :-) The shoes not smell very artificial sweat but what I put above just look at the vents under the foot and permeability of the material. In my opinion, a great shoe for all beginners and those who do not want to throw the 100s around ;-) The size fits incidentally also ;-) have usually 37 1/2 and 38 have ordered and a little air to the front :-)
