They have a lot of features that have been incorporated into them for incredible on and off the bike performance, and there is a reason Brian Lopes was dominating at Crankworx in them.

Strengths:    Comfortable, good pedaling, nice straps, good pedal-shoe interface.

Weaknesses:    None yet.

Bottom Line:   
These are great shoes, they fit and feel great right out of the box. I've always used stiff soled shoes for riding, so I was wary of these initially, but they feel great on the bike. The only area that flexes much is the toe area, and for where I mount my cleats it doesn't really feel too flexy. They feel great walking/climbing/hiking. I have no issues with my old Time ATAC pedals. The adjustable length of the click-strap is a nice feature.
