New Cleatrs for the New Bike Shoes -- Made in France

I positioned the cleats pretty far forward (closer to the ball of my feet).  I also moved them so that the foot is close to the crank arms.

This is the setup that feels the best for me...

It says the upper is made of a synthetic material.

But it's very leather like.

If it's really synthetic, the similarity to real leather is pretty amazing...

It says size 7.5, but I think they're closer to 7...

They fit OK.

The shoes have a built-in lace keeper (an elastic holder for the laces) so that you can tuck them in and keep them from flopping around...
