Mavic Alpine XL MTB Shoe: Extra protection for the most challenging single track. The big burly brother of the trail friendly Alpine. Extra protection thanks to abrasion resistant materials, neoprene ankle guard and lace cover.

Strengths: Very comfy, solid pedal feel, sole is stiff enough.
Weaknesses: QUALITY! Falling apart after < 10 rides
Bottom Line:
These shoes are falling apart already after less than 10 rides. I am going to try to get them warrantied, but I must say that the quality is hugely subpar.
I would definitely not recommend if you plan to actually ride in these shoes.
