Also the best value in this price range. Nice stiff sole, race quality stiffness really. Weaknesses: Only weakness is that one cleat plate broke when installing the cleat screws. My LBS promptly replaced this and I was on my way in less than 5 minutes. Thanks!

from austin Date Reviewed: January 18, 2004 Strengths: Wide footbed last. I bought these as a less expensive option to Sidi Mega D 4s or the Carnacs they replaced...oops. Nice stiff platform. Weaknesses: Decent fit, but the shoe didn't hold my heel as well as other shoes have in the past making walking sections a bit more difficult. Sole delaminated at the heel on one shoe after not much use, maybe 30 rides. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $100.00 Similar Products Used: various Sidi's, Shimano shoes, Answer shoes, Carnac shoes Bike Setup: Spyder, Fox 80 with tires and a handlebar...just about everything you need to go ridin'
