Strengths:
super tough, excellent pedal grip, price, looks
Weaknesses:
n/a
Similar Products Used:
you name it
Bike Setup:
monty xlite with xalp fork, monty wheels, tryall track cog, WI trials freewheel, hs33s rear, avid Vs front, plazmatic pads, monty tires
Bottom Line:
These are the best pair of cycling shoes I've EVER used. I've raced BMX for 7 years, and I've never seen a pair of shoes grip so well. I changed from clipless pedals to platforms because of these shoes. They are super comfortable, long lasting and good looks. The only reason I;m switching is I was welding some frames together, and a spark burnt a big hole in my shoe. If you want some super nice cycling shoes, look no further than the axo x-up.

Strengths:
Very comfortable, very solidly built with lots of padding. Nice wide fitment. Good to wear both on & off the bike. Currently at discount price (in UK at least) - bargain!
Weaknesses:
None!
Similar Products Used:
Every kind of running shoe, tennis shoe, casual trainers, & cycle footware.
Bottom Line:
Sizes are generous so beware. If in doubt buy on the slightly small size. Not really a weakness I suppose but be careful, I usually take a UK 8.5 to 9 and these in 8.5 are almost bordering on the large side.
The front of the rubber sole that connects with the soft upper is glued AND heavy stitched together; this is usually a weak spot for me where the two can come apart. No danger of that happening on these puppies.
Good quality, bulletproof and does the job. Good footwear both on & off bike for under £40, u can't beat that. Axo could show Nike how to build a decent shoe!
These shoes will last you for ages & ages.
