from La Honda, CaDate Reviewed: May 3, 2010
Strengths: Tough as all heck. Comfortable. StiffWeaknesses: A bit heavy. They take a bit to break in.Bottom Line: This has been a very good shoe. I have been riding the same pair since this model was first introduced. How long has that been? I do not remember, perhaps 8 years, it was a long time ago. The store I bought them in is no longer there.
I have put thousands of miles on these shoes. Two 24 hour solo races a third race as a team. Countless 5 to 8 hour rides. Mud, Crud, Sun, Water, Rocks, Poison Oak, you name it. Plus hour upon hour of hike a bike. They had an awesome tread for getting traction while pushing up brutal steep hills.
They still work fine but are starting to show wear so I am looking for a new pair of MTB Shoes.
Just wanted to do a review since they have worked so well. As far as Value goes I do not see how anything can get a higher rating.

Strengths: tough, they still look like new after 2 years, and if you ride eastern (like in mud) you know how tough it is on shoes.Weaknesses: I have very very normal feet, and these are most uncomfortable. Also, while climbing, my feet will hurt after 5 minutes...Bottom Line: I hate these shoes. Maybe they are not meant for my foot but I'm not comfortable at all in these. Two years of torture, my new Lakes are waiting for the snow to melt...
But they were very durable.

from chestnut ridge, NYDate Reviewed: March 21, 2003
Strengths: very comfortable for skinny feet, and presumably very comfortable for wide feet as well. Kick ass shoe for your dollar. Sole is quite stiff for a shoe in that price range. If looking for a good shoe for your limited wallet I definetly recommend them.Weaknesses: very cold in the winter. I tried Duct-taping the toe and it worked a little better but still very chilly. After about 6 months the sole started to separate from the body of the shoe.Bottom Line: I definetly recomend them. Sweet ass name too. I mean Jalepeno, you can never go wrong with a name like that.
