Date Reviewed: October 1, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | Hawes Loop | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | Performance retail store | | Strengths: | Fairly rugged, pretty good fit, look ok, sole firm enough (if not great), walking is ok. | | Weaknesses: | Velcro straps hung over too far, but I do have a narrow foot. I may have bought a half size too big, but after 6 months, I found myself yanking the straps tighter when stopped. | | Similar Products Used: | Some Nike SPD shoes. | | Bike Setup: | SPD 5 and 6 hundred series. All kinds of bikes - 26, 29, hardtail, rigid, full. All rocky XC though. | | Bottom Line: | Fit: I wear a 10.5-11 regular shoe. Bought the 45. A bit big for me I later learned. I recently found a Sidi 44.5 fits me right: more snugly and its more narrow width fits my narrow foot better than the Performance shoe.
I have pretty much stopped buying Performance-brand products after being continually disappointed, but these shoes are probably the best of their stuff that I've tried. They have no particulary weakness that I could find. Then again, they aren't a bargain basement price either. I would recommend their next shoe up that has a buckle.
After 1.5 years they're pretty abused (one strap looks ike its coming apart, and there's a hole in the side from a crash), so I'm looking at Shimano, Sidi, and Specialized for a replacement. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$55.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance.com | | Strengths: | Price; durability; fits well | | Weaknesses: | None at that price. | | Bike Setup: | 2 wheels. | | Bottom Line: | A very good shoe at a great price. Not top-of-the-line, but works well. If you don't want to spend a lot on shoes, but want a very good pair, this is a great option. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
