Just picked up a pair of these and are trying a half size up.

Not their intended purpose but I've also found these are great as motion control/stability shoes. I have arch problems and a navicular accessory (infused baby foot bone, what the heck right) and the rigid soles of cycling shoes are exactly what I need.

Doesn't seem like you understand the purpose of these shoes. It doesn't make the ride more comfy, it's to increase pedaling efficiency. It's only good if you have pedals that are meant to clip into those shoes. I would never use the pedals you're suggesting on an outdoor bike. Those pedals don't have cleats on them. Hit a bump and you're at risk of having your feet fly off the pedals

These are bicycle shoes that you can attach two-bolt MTB cleats to. Those cleats, mate to mountain bike pedals that you can only use if you have shoes like these with cleats attached. These shoes will not take 3-bolt road cleats.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, you should not buy these shoes.
Walkable shoes like these are not quite as efficient as hard-soled bike shoes, but I can verify that they're still far more efficient than clips and straps.
Unlike hard-soled MTB and road shoes, you don't have to live in fear of going inside a store because your shoes become ice skates on any hard floor.
