Reading the reviews on the Adidas website leads me to believe most of the people who bought the shoe are NOT avid cyclists and have no idea what they bought. One person stated they bought them for spin class. You can't use a road bike shoe for spin class!!
A quick google search for reviews for the parley road cycling shoe and indeed, they are a terrible shoe. I wanted to like this shoe, but it's a no go for me.
Bought this shoe for $48 on BF. Not a fan. The knit upper offers almost no support and if you crank the boa down, the laces will cut into your instep through the knit.
i know these got criticized last time it hit FP, but is there a better shoe for the price with sizes available?
I wouldn't buy these shoes at all. Them being at $60 doesn't mean much.
That being said, Specialized Torch 1.0 is a solid bet at just a little bit more. Some sizes/colors are close to this price. Torch 2.0 has the carbon sole but usually goes for $120+

I've been a cyclist all my life but have never been to a spin class. Why can't you use a road shoe there, do they not provide pedal options or allow you to bring your own?

We got a spin bike for at home use, I checked to see if my cycle shoes fit first thing. Different clips, bummer. Probably quicker to just get a set of spin shoes for this instead of swapping back and forth. My wife uses Tien shoes and spins way more than I do so changing the clips isn't an option.

Spin classes/bikes typically use SPD or Look Delta pedals

You can. On my Peloton, I switched out the pedals to match my road bike, so it's an easy clip in to either. I also have covers for my cycle shoes if I need to use a flat pedal in a class where I don't control what pedals they use.

I believe indoor cycling uses SPD pedals, not SPD-SLs

I rode 4K miles on these shoes last year, being that they are made from plastic materials it takes longer time to brake them in
I bought a 9.5, felt tight so I'm exchanging for a 10. I'm not an avid cyclist so these seem to be great for my needs. Fits like a sock, breathable, looks great. ~$52 total with promo code/cash back.
On yt, a guy said these flex, so insta return. For everyday cyclist, and considering the price, it might still be a good first shoe.
I got carbon shoes a few years back, and my right foot starting getting numb, probably when I pushed harder during a climb. I started getting raynaud's syndrome on my toe, so I guess I need to make sure my next cycling shoe has enough room for when my foot inevitablly swells during rides.

Every brand and sizing fit differently, wrong fit is not good.
