Purchased for city riding and everyday wear. I was very pleased with the durability and comfort, so I bought a similar product from the same brand. This pair was used a few times and then stored after being professionally cleaned. There are marks from flat pedal pins on the soles. Regarding sizing, it varies from person to person, but I wear a size 41 in Shimano and Northwave, and this brand also fit me perfectly. The insoles are sturdy, and since they haven't been used much, they show little wear, as you can see in the photos. There's a pocket on the tongue to store the laces, preventing them from getting caught in the chain. The laces have reflective material, providing safety at night. Below is the description from the purchase site: Water-repellent PANARACER technical collaboration, men's black sneakers, also suitable for cycling shoes SOUTHSIDE 3.0 The mid-rise upper of the SOUTHSIDE 3.0 provides a high level of hold. ■MATERIALS * Upper material: Abrasion-resistant 1,000-denier hydrophobic nylon upper * Panachrome outsole: An original outsole developed from scratch by Panaracer, utilizing the tire development know-how cultivated over many years, with a new combination of natural rubber and chemicals. It boasts high grip during riding and daily life, as well as toughness for long-term use. The tough 1000-denier hydrophobic nylon upper is highly water-repellent, making it difficult for water to penetrate and quick-drying. Rubber coating is applied to the ankle area in an asymmetrical (non-symmetrical) configuration for protection. It protects the foot from external impacts and abrasion during riding. The shoe tongue has a lace locker to store the tied laces. The PU crash pad insole with excellent shock absorption is a special collaboration design with Panaracer. Through technical collaboration with Panaracer, the outsole rubber achieves a high level of both "grip" and "abrasion resistance," which were previously considered to be contradictory.
