I finally decided to go for clipless pedals and real bike shoes for my daily commute to and from work. I needed shoes that I could comfortably walk in from my building bike racks to the gym (about a block away). These shoes are perfect for my needs. Cleat installation was easy and the shoes are designed such that the cleat holes are covered by the inner liners, so that water won't get through. Although the shoes are stiff, the recessed cleat design allows me to walk normally without worrying about messing up the cleat. The velcro straps and ratcheting strap are easy to adjust and the shoe is pretty comfortable. I wear a 8.5 in street shoes and a 40.5 in these fits me perfectly quite snug, but not too tight. I've only been using them for about a week, but so far, so good. I would recommend them to commuters.

I bought a pair of these shoes last season to replace another pair (different brand) that seemed to cause "hot foot." These were reasonably priced and compatible with my SPD cleats. The features seemed to take hot foot prevention into account, so why not try them, I thought. I will say, I also bought the Giro supernatural fit insoles with arch support, and have them in my shoes. I rode over 3600 miles last year in those shoes and never got hot foot once!
I'm the type of person that when I find something I like, I stick with it. So, even though the shoes I bought last year are still in very good shape, I bought a second pair to have in reserve. I don't want to have to try to find a decent pair of cycling shoes several years down the line. These have everything I need and are very reasonably priced, even with buying the extra insoles.
I don't know about the shoes running small as stated in another review. I generally wear a women's 7 7.5 shoe, and I ordered a 39 based on the Giro sizing chart. The shoes fit great, and I can even wear heavier sock comfortably on those cold days.

Honest reviews on Giro 2012 Women's Manta Mountain Bike Shoes
Fits fine but It would fit perfectly if it were a 36.5 eruo size. I'm usually a size 36eruo but when I tried this on, i could feel my toes at the tip of the shoes. I can still wear it but only with not so thick socks.

Even though these are "mountain bike shoes" I wear them for road biking (training for a triathlon), and have no complaints.
