Price Paid:

Purchased At:
mail order
Strengths:
Gonna skip to the WEAKNESS since it way outweighs and nullifies any strengths
Weaknesses:
The stitching on the padding around the heel comes into direct contact rubbing your heel.
Similar Products Used:
Diador Chili's maybe 6 or 7 years, thats why I ordered Diadora again, plus Nashbar and Performance way back when.
Bike Setup:
Cannondale Killer V
Bottom Line:
Went out on a nice wet ride to break these things in. My left heel in particular started hurting. Just had to grimace and ride back home. 2 weeks later Due to snow couldn't ride til yesterday, went out forgetting the heel pains. Only a quick pre-work hour ride but still post ride soreness. NOT why I buy a shoe. Hoping duck tape over the stiching might help but I usually reserve duck tape for keeping old things I like together not alliviating problems in bad designs.

Bottom Line:
Decent shoe. Good buckle and Velcro. Uppers wearing great considering many Eastern mud/rain races. Pretty comfortable once I got used to narrow (aerodynamic?)toe. Unfortunately the sole is splitting from upper after one year and couple thousand miles, not bad. Will be trying Sidi's next.
