After buying and returning two pairs of other popular brands I was frustrated. Using the same Euro sizing, one pair was a half size to big and the other was too small. Plus, one brand's Euro sizing can be different than another brands Euro sizing.
I did a lot of research for my next pair and narrowed it down to two companies. I finally went with the Pearl Izumis. I then ordered a 1/2 size up and they fit perfectly. I installed Shimano 2 bolt cleats that go on the shoes (order separately) that match the Shimano M520 pedals I recently put on my spin bike.
These feel so much better and you can walk on them without the cleat scratching the floor - a nice plus. I've noticed in reviews there are rarely reviews for size 6 feet. I'm pretty much a perfect size 6 in regular shoes and sneakers. The Pearl Izumi website says Euro 37 for size 6. I decided to go a 1/2 size up as others have recommended to a 37.5. I'm glad I did as they are perfect. I'm loving my rides with these, very comfortable. I use these for indoor spin cycling.
Also, a tip for those of us who watched Youtube and learned how to install our cleats, make sure you use a torque screwdriver and tighten the screws on your cleats to 22 or so in/lbs. Some people go 40-53 torque in/lbs, but the one I read said 22. Its worked for me. The cleats will not loosen and move on the pedal. I've read reviews about people installing and they have to tighten the cleats, its because they are not tight enough. So far, very happy with these cycling shoes.
Finally!

First things first, size conversion: I wear a 7 in all running shoes (Brooks, Adidas, Nike, Under Armour). I ordered a size 38 and they're perfectly snug. Also, how cute are they?! The color is more of a dark hot pink, not overbearing, just perfect.
These shoes are so comfortable I want to wear them all the time. They feel just as solid as regular spin shoes but are far more pleasant to wear. They're much easier to walk in, my cleats make minimal contact with the ground.
The top of the shoe is very secure, the strap over top provides a lot of structure with minimal flex (in a good way). My feet didn't go numb in these shoes like they usually do in others.
Overall, my rides have been much improved. Highly recommend.
