FX4 Date Reviewed: July 6, 2012 Strengths: Stick to flat pedals like glue. I'm a little old school and prefer flat pedals to clipless so I went in search of the ultimate flat pedal shoe. These have exceeded my expectations. When you plant your foot on the pedal it Stays stuck where you put your foot. They create a wide stable platform. The fairly rigid soles work well to you keep your feet pushing power into the pedal rather than the shoe flexing as is the case with standard athletic shoes. I was a little concerned these would be hot and uncomfortable on a hot day but my worries have proved to be unfounded. A 35 mile ride on a 95 degree day in Florida was a non-issue. I have a wide foot and as suggested by others, purchase your normal size and they should fit. My wide foot slipped into these nicely and they are comfortable. I am very pleased with these shoes, they are like glue on flat pedals. Weaknesses: Maybe a bit loud for my taste. Bottom Line:

from Cedaredge, Colorado, US Date Reviewed: August 21, 2011 Strengths: Very well designed and very well built. Sticks very well to Drillium pedals, great for carrying the bike and gear over rock fall. Crampons actually work well with this shoe when hiking your bike up and over a snow covered ridge in friggin July.

from Naples, FL, US Date Reviewed: August 12, 2010 Strengths: Like everyone says, they grip like glue! Great workmanship, great customer service. I enjoy biking a lot, but I hate having a foot fly off the pedal and ripping skin open. While wearing these shoes I've never even come close to losing my footing. I thought my Vans were good... I don't even wear those any more. Thouroughly impressed and I like some of their new products coming out which do not appear to be as bulky. Weaknesses: Do not make 1/2 sizes beyond 12, which is just what I needed. Exchanged the 12's for a 13 and they're fine but I really have to cinch them up tight. At this size, they look like ski boots on my feet.. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Any, at this point Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: 5.10 Similar Products Used: Vans, Asolo hiking boots Bike Setup: Cannondale F7, pretty much stock.

from Flagler Fl Date Reviewed: May 16, 2010 Strengths: The difference between my vans and the 5/10 are a night and day difference. I would of never guessed that the sticky compound would be that much better. Where you put your foot is where your foot stays until you lift your foot to reposition. I feel like I get more of a push and pull effect Weaknesses: not sure. They are a little boxy.

from Golden, CO USA Date Reviewed: December 30, 2009 Strengths: Rubber sole is supper grippy. Seem well made, thick padding around hell cup and toungue. I have the ones with the wc stripse and they have some snake skin pattern around the laces which is cool. I usually wear clip ins but for rough courses flats pedals are the way to go and these shoes stick to flat pedals like crazy. Sole stiffness is decent, if it were any stiffer they wouldn't walk, hike, very well. Weaknesses: A lot of room in the toe box. Go half size above what you'd normally wear they run small.
