Strengths:
tough i guess, they look pretty cool
Weaknesses:
heavy, weak heel support
Similar Products Used:
none
Bike Setup:
K2 funky monkey set up for trail riding with Crank Brothers Mallets
Bottom Line:
I would have liked these shoes to work better with my Mallets and require less trimming since Crank Brothers recommends Pearl Izumi shoes on their site, but i expected some trimming with Mallets. These are good shoes for a weekender/recreational rider but anybody more serious than me probably wont like them. I sort of stripped a screw in one and lost a screw in the same shoe but thats probably my own fault. Overall they're good shoes, comfortable to walk in, i know from experience.
