Strengths: comfortable, good-looking shoe. great heel cup, fits my oddly shaped flippers. carbon sole. insole fit system.Weaknesses: lugs are wearing faster than i expected. toe area showing signs of wear.Bottom Line: this was my first high dollar pair of shoes (paying over $150). i tried on several brands (sidi,specialized,shimano) and the giros felt the best on my feet. i really like the tight-fitting heel cup.
bought these at the beginning of the season and have really enjoyed having them on my feet. i put a lot of long, hard miles in this year. noticed a few hotspots on very long days. the toes are showing damage to the material but hasn't torn through yet. lugs seemed to wear down faster than i expected. $225 is a good chunk of change for shoes.
overall, i think it's a great shoe. i was really pleased with the fit of the heel cup and the ratchet strap. my previous shoes never seemed to keep my heel in no matter how much i tightened the buckle. i would have expected the toe to be a little more wear-resistant as well as the lugs. my old shoes had 3 seasons on them and the lugs don't look this worn.

Strengths: Excellent Easton Carbon Composite sole. Very comfortable uppers. Ratchet system works well and has very small graduations. Looks bad-ass. Awesome green/yellow sole lugs, and overall styling is very cool, next to maybe a Sidi, but Sidi doesn't come close to making my size! (Eurotrash, roadies).......Weaknesses: Cost. Some tread trimming may be required for perfect cleat position. Cleat mounting area is slightly toe-forward compared to other brands, but transfers power well.Bottom Line: Good performer, stiff as a board footboard, cool uppers, comfortable, and make sizes all the way to 13.5 U.S. 48 euro!

Strengths: Great Build, Comfortable, Rugged, Decently Light, all around the shoe looks and feels very nice.Weaknesses: A little akward feeling at first, maybe becuase I was new to cycling shoes.Bottom Line: I would recomend this product to anyone it has a very good build quality. If you are new to cycling or a old timer I think these are great middle of the road cycling shoes.
