Bottom Line:
These are my first riding shoes and I'm really happy with them. I'm not a racer and I don't do extreme technical riding so they're perfect for me. I ride with Time Z pedals and I've had very little trouble getting in and out. They do have good adjustability and have held up very well in all kinds of conditions. If you're looking for a entry into riding shoes you can't go wrong with these.

Strengths:
Good looks
Weaknesses:
lacing pattern and the velcro strap always biting into the laces. Didn't work well at all with my ATACs, very hard to locate and clip in.

Bottom Line:
Had to give up wearing these for trail riding because of the problems I had clipping in. No matter what I did, I couldn't do it fast enough for the technical riding I do. I found myself worrying about clipping in instead of the upcoming rocks and drop offs, and thats not good. I'm now wearing them as casuals. Good price, but for riding, only one chili......

Strengths:
Look cool. Keep water out. Works for me.
Weaknesses:
can't think of any
Bike Setup:
upgraded 1999 Iron Horse ARS 2.0 w/ '01 Judy XC, DH cage clipless, Deore/LX/Avid, IRC Pirhana Pro 2.1s, Sun Z19 rims, Amoeba DH rise bar, ODI lock jaw grips
Bottom Line:
Looking for a good cheap shoe? Buy these. Nikwax 'em a couple times and you can walk ankle deep in lakes and if you're careful they'll stay dry. The treads are grippy and the soles are stiff. A good shoe for all day rides and/or in sloppy conditions. Not super light, definetly not for racing, but for every day people, they work well.
