I can't compare to Shimano having previously used Giro shoes but compared to those they are true to size. I am a UK 9 in regular shoes and a 42 in the Explore works. They are really comfy to ride in, I wouldn't say they are amazingly comfy to walk long distances in but that's about what you'd expect.
I recommend them, the only thing I have an issue on is the fact that they are perforated, to me this doesn’t really make sense given that they’re marketed to be worn in all conditions. If its slightly wet out, you get wet feet. Having said that I rode them on a little tour round Belgium last summer when it was disgustingly warm and they were great.

Technically... they are a gravel shoe, not an MTB shoe. Get some waterproof socks (Sealskinz or Dexshell) and some thin merino ones for them to go over. Even with wet feet, still warm.

I’m a wide 8 in proper leather shoes, 9 in trainers, I wonder is 42 going to be bang on then (true) or too large... when you say regular shoes are you taking trainers?
Resounding yes for comfy then. They looks very well priced in the sale atm

How do the explore shoes size up? Reviews on the site suggest they come up a touch bigger than Shimano.
Edit and are they comfy? Reviews are pretty positive.
