Strengths:
Very warm, great fit, waterproof(ish). Easy on, easy off. High cuffs. Stiff sole. Non leather.
Weaknesses:
Limited adjustability with only two velcro straps. Do not seem to be waterproof this season, will need to investigate. Have had problems with pull strap and sinch strap coming unsewn.
Similar Products Used:
Sidi winter shoes. Sidi shoes with toe covers. Sidi shoes with Seal Skins waterproof socks.
Bike Setup:
Clipless pedals.
Bottom Line:
Great shoe of the price (if you can pay less than retail). These have a high retail price. Have kept my feet very warm below 20 degrees F. Fit similar to a normal Sidi dominator. I put them away for the summer and am wearing them again as it is raining often. They do not appear to be waterproof now. I'll have to look into that, wash them and maybe recoat them with a waterproof material. I love them.
