The shoes themselves are amazing! First of all all the space my feet have now... just WOW! My feet were for the first 5 rides just stunned on all the extra room around and no cramping feeling from any direction, yet feeling that there is that immediate connection between my feet and the pedals.

Secondly the lightness of the shoe was something I really haven't gotten around with. May be that the airy feel inside the shoe makes it even more light feeling on the foot but I would say it is pretty close to having Crocs (I do not own a pair but have tested once) on my feet! And I must confess I understand not everyone likes the feel of Crocs for sure but the light and soft feel is there.

Thirdly I would like to embrace the fact I did not think about earlier and that is the ease of cleaning the shoe after a wet ride. You just rinse the shoe and the inner separately and let them dry for a couple of hours insead of days in drier with my old leather shoe. That is perfect for the seasons here in Finland!

To be seen is how my feet and the shoes handle the longer rides and the summer heat. It also feels like the outer shoe is a bit less rigid than my earlier super stiff racing shoe but I think I can live with that given all the earlier mentioned benefits as after all I'm not a professional and I'm not racing.

From the last we can bridge to the only thing I have to complain about and that is the delivery time. It took 5 months from ordering to delivery. Instead in the beginning it was mentioned 12 weeks. That was surpassed drastically. Even though I ordered the shoe way before the summer, I received it just at the end of summer. I sort of lost the opportunity for this year fully. And it would had been nice if I would had had an update of the situation from Hezo's side that "we have encountered an issue in the manufacturing and thus your shoes' delivery will be delayed", but no. I had to find out that myself. That is not a good customer experience. That needs to be fixed.

After all I still want to give 5 stars as the shoes show so much potential of releasing my full potential what comes to getting rid of all the pain in the feet due to "not having the correct kind of feet for the normal shoes of the industry".

Bisher hatte ich mit Schuhen ‚von der Stange‘ immer Schmerzen – ähnlich wie man es vielleicht von engen Schlittschuhen kennt, wenn man sie richtig fest schnürt. Mit dem Helu - 03 war das vom ersten Moment an Geschichte: Die Schmerzen sind weg! Der Schuh sitzt perfekt am Fuß, verhindert jegliches Rutschen und sorgt sofort für ein deutlich besseres Gefühl beim Pedalieren.

I've always had pain with off-the-shelf shoes—similar to how tight ice skates feel when you lace them up really tight. With the Helu-03, that was history from moment one: the pain is completely gone! The shoe fits perfectly, eliminates any slipping, and instantly gives you a much better feel on the pedals.

Hervorragende Passform, Ultra bequem und für jeder Frau / Mann der richtige Schuh, ob Anfänger oder Profi jeder findet was er brauch.

Es sind echt schöne Schuhe, die auf jeden Fall besser sitzen als meine alten von der Stange und qualitativ einen hochwertigen Eindruck machen. Lediglich an der Ferse sind die Innenschuhe zu weit, so dass ich, vor allem wenn ich im Stehen fahre, im Schuh nach vorne rutsche und mit den Zehen vorne anstoße.

Took time before I got my babies BUT it worth it! I directly used them both a 180kms ride. No staffing, no discomfort. ALL GOOD! Already considering to order same for gravel :/)
