Strengths: Solid, firm, comfortable, breathes very well-can walk in them despite them being "race" shoes.Weaknesses: feet get very wet when river crossing- cleat placement was a little far back from the balls of my feetBottom Line: Good quality shoes that breathe well and are incredibly comfortable. i walked 15kms in them up a rocky mountain trail-a walking trail and had very little problems with them. good value for money-at rrp
Favorite Trail: the 1 I made around my local primary school

Strengths: Number one strength is price! Best value of any shoe I looked at, and now that I have ridden on them for about 6 months, I am sold completly on "clipping in". The sole is very rigid which seems to help transfer your energy to the pedals. They fit well, and are comfortable enough for a 70 mile mountain bike marathon (South Texas Death Ride).Weaknesses: On the right shoe, I can feel the cleat pressing up through the sole. The same shoe developed a clicking sound when I walk no matter how tight I make the cleat.Bottom Line: The shoe cannot be beat for the price. I wonder if I had spent more if I would have the problems that I have with the right shoe, (see weaknesses above) but those problems don't out-weigh the benefits --- to me. This is absolutely the shoe to buy for your first pair of clipless pedals, no doubt. Find them on sale in the fifty dollar range though, 'cause at $80.00 I think there may be better choices.

Strengths: Very Stiff.
Very Comfortable.
Only one comfortable for my wide feet.
Very Stylish.Weaknesses: None so far...Bottom Line: This being my first set of cleat shoes, I have a very limited view of how they compare to others.
As for getting them, they were more comfortable for my wide feet than any of the other shoes I tried, even the ones that were in "wide" sizes.
They totally transformed my level of biking skill. I can go exponentially farther and faster with these with less effort than before. It's truly amazing. Can't beat them for the value. If you need some shoes that are a great value and are also very cool looking, these are for you.
Will post more later after more riding.

Strengths: Good fit, very comfy (i have BAD feet) lightweight, sole is very rigid but has great traction; good value for the price (on sale at REI). I use them on both, my mountain bike and my road bike. If you want a good shoe without spending a bundle this is good choice.Weaknesses: Some platform pedals may not work too well with this shoe (i have pedals with platform on one side and SPD ont the other)Bottom Line: Very good shoe for the money (retails for $80) If you have problem feet this shoe may work for you, comfortable and roomy.

Strengths: Comfy, good price, easy to use, easy to clean, lifetime warrantyWeaknesses: They soak up waterBottom Line: Very comfy fit for my wide feet. Velco straps provide easy adjustment. In the rain they soaked up water. I expect they'd be quite breathable in hot weather.
