The uppers are made of bovine leather, Cordura cloth to enable an excellent insulation and Neoprene instep for a support. The inner lining has a Sympatex membrane so the shoe is breathable but also water-resistant.
Equipped with two non-stretchable fibre straps. A third strap closes the neoprene instep to improve the support.

Strengths: They are stiff, warm and have a good fastening system.
Weaknesses: None have revealed themselves yet, though the price might scare some folks away.
Bottom Line:
These are warm boots with all the support and stiffness you would expect from mtb footwear at this price. My first Carnacs have lasted 6 years and are still in great shape, so I am not surprised at that this is a top quality shoe. Carnac makes outstanding shoes.
I purchased this pair from a dot com in France and the first pair shipped were too small even though I ordered a half size up from the european sizing of my current Carnacs. I am not aware of a retailer in the US who sells this particular pair.
If you need a real mtb shoe that will keep your feet warm and are not looking for a particularly narrow shoe, you will be hard pressed to find a better shoe than this. I'll check back in a few years and tell you how this pair has held up.
