Where To Buy

BicycleBuys






Submitted by David a Cross Country Rider from Wichita, KS.
Date Reviewed: January 16, 2000
Favorite Trail:Continental Divide trail CO.
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Strengths:Very Comfortable
Weaknesses:Not quite stiff enough, weak soles
Similar Products Used:Sidi Dominato, Specialized comp mountain
Bike Setup:Trek 820, Rock shocks Judy xc, rolf satelite
Bottom Line:These were my first pair of spd shoes and I was very dissapointed. The sole is not made stiff enough. My first pair had a cleat tear right through the shoe two days after I had bought them. Shimano did replace them, and they have now lasted a year. They have too much flex, had to buy some 545 pedals to keep my feet from cramping. I have had to re-glue the soles on in quite a few places. Overall, for the money, buy a real biking shoe.

Submitted by Tom a Weekend Warrior from Williamsburg VA
Date Reviewed: May 29, 1999
Duration Product Used:
less than 1 month
Strengths:
stiffness, comfort, stability, out of the box and on the trails!!
Weaknesses:
price!! $100 (ouch!)
Bike Setup:
cannondale super v-1000
Bottom Line:I just bought these shoes today and I love them already!! I literally went from the bike store, to my house, to the trail with these shoes. they were soooooo comfortable right out of the box, there is no break-in required! they are nice and stiff, and give a lot of stability. I was riding on shimano 545 pedals. The only downfall is the steep price. I'll review them again once I run them through the mill! the only reason I didn't give them a five rating is because I have not tested them in mud or the rough stuff yet.
Overall Rating:4
