Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$88.00
Purchased At:
Chainlove.com
Strengths:
Lightweight, strong full carbon sole, good quality buckle, good traction for running uphill with removable toe spikes, breathes well.
Weaknesses:
a little bit of heel lift on out of saddle climbs
Similar Products Used:
none.
Bike Setup:
Giant Rincon with Shimano m520 pedals
Bottom Line:
usually priced around 170, this would be a good deal for a full carbon baseplate shoe, but swiping them at chainlove for 88 quid was an amazing deal. You really forget you're wearing these because they're so light, and my feet didn't hurt at all at the end of a long ride full of climbs. 4 chilis on performance because of a small bit of heel lift that I only felt during some strong climbing, but other than that, a great performer.
