Eirikur Date Reviewed: July 4, 2012 Strengths: These shoes are not bad to walk on when off the bike, thats about it. Weaknesses: I got these shoes from the shop instead of other cheaper Bontrager SSR shoes when I broke the sole while biking. The design of these shoes are weird, I have a very normal shaped foot and the fit is just to laugh about. The toebox is very narrow (from the ballpoint and forward) and the rest of the shoe is very wide. Insert is very thin and the the shoes are uncomfortable. Bottom Line:

from SE PA Date Reviewed: September 17, 2011 Strengths: None that are apparent. I needed a new pair in a rush and for reasons unknown settled on these. Weaknesses: Above posters reports the same problems I had: 1) the stitched loop that holds the "D" ring that the strap laces through ripped off/fell off, after only six rides. It was the smallest one on the right shoe, and I didn't tighten it one or twice. 2) One sole came unglued after less than five months use. This happened after walking bike along a gravel road due to a flat near the end of a ride. Shame on Bontrager for selling such a cheap product, I had a higher opinion before seeing these fall apart. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Wissahickon - Upper Trails Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $89.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: I had a pair of Shimano that lasted nine years before the rubber parts started peeling away from the metal soles. Bike Setup: 29er FS
