Strengths: Warm for PA climateWeaknesses: BOA systemBottom Line: After 9 months the BOA lacing started jamming in the tube that goes along the side, I tried to pull it out to replace it and it snapped off inside. I now have a $150 pair of paperweights. Shoes with the BOA ratchet on the back of the heel SUCK!

Strengths: Boa lacing system. Comfort. Slick looking if you like the semi-soccer shoe lookWeaknesses: bolt-on toe cleats and plug bolts come loose easy. Don't forget to retighten every other ride or so, otherwise you lose them and they're not easy to find replacementsBottom Line: So far so good with these shoes. I have not put them through the full ringer yet, but they've been on some solid rides over the last couple months. No problems with the boa system yet, but I'm definitely suspicious about the longer-term durability. The rest of the shoe seems very solid and well built in terms of fit and finish. I'll definitely post an update in a few more months. I got a smokin deal on these, so I think they're great value so far and I would recommend them. Also, the boa system is definitely convenient. I ALWAYS find my shoes tend to loosen part way through a ride. With these, you just reach down and give em another click or two and your set: takes 2 seconds and no need to get off the bike.

Strengths: I've had the shoes 2 months, and liked them until today. Shoe is very comfortable, natural rubber sole grips slick rock and loose terrain easily. Shoes are much lighter than the Vibram sole models. BOA lacing system worked great until I couldn't adjust the tension.Weaknesses: The protective sleeve covering the stainless steel cable is worn away. Shoe's don't tighten or loosen easily. I had to take off the BOA cap, unwind the cable, and then use extreme force to get the cable loose. I have narrow feet, perhaps tightening the shoe to fit my feet, and the winding of the cable, has caused abrasion to sleeve? I think the ratchet and velcro of my Sidis works easier.Bottom Line: Very comfortable shoe. Rubber soles grip slick rock. Shoe may be great for those with normal width feet. They also make a wide shoe, but nothing in the narrow width. There is a 1 year guarantee, so we'll see if they replace the cable.
