Strengths:    Grippy, Stiff, Very protective

Weaknesses:    HOT!!!

Bottom Line:   
Great shoe. Sticks to all of my flats very well; Sometimes a little too much. Great protection for the inside of the ankle and my whole foots from the jagged rocks of the Southwest. If I'm doing a lot of climbing or it is above 90 degrees my feet burn up!! Great show for descending on cooler days.

Submitted by sqrle a Downhiller from Whistler BC Canada

Date Reviewed: July 25, 2010

Strengths:    strong laces, super grippy soles

Weaknesses:    not sure if this is classified as a weakness but it takes a good day to get used to how well these shoes grip. Made me crash once when trying to adjust a foot

Bottom Line:   
Completely satisified with my purchase, now I understand why I see 80% of people at the Whistler Bike Park with 5-10 shoes. It took me a full day to get used to the way they grip so well. I was used to shoes that didn't grip. Now I need to pay attention more to where my initial foot placement is becauswe it is much harder to adjust your foot when biking. Don't get me wrong, this is NOT a bad thing. When you put your feet on the pedals, they stay put. They also have a lace guard to so theere is no worry of a lace getting caught up in your drivetrain. Overall, very beefy shoe with super tacky sole that won't slip. If you can afford them, get them, you won't regret it
