$15.00 | | Purchased At: | used stuff store | | Strengths: | Extremely comfortable for narrow feet, good 3 velcro fastening system, stiff sole, great looks. | | Weaknesses: | To be found in the field... | | Similar Products Used: | Time Sierra. | | Bike Setup: | Large touring bike with full racks, panniers and 50lb+ of living material to carry around. | | Bottom Line: | I use a pair of Time Sierra and matching pedals on my touring bike. I never found them to be too comfy, but the clever reversible pedal and the flexible feel of the clip does the job nicely. I also use a pair of Time Carbon fitted with Look racing clips and pedals. These are a nightmare to walk with but the power they transfer is amazing. The sole is more than stiff. They show their virtues in strong accelerations where they could rip your knee joint appart if you wanted to. I just picked-up these M110, brand spanking new for 15$. They look nice, they are very comfortable and well ventilated. All I did so far tonight, was walk around with them and I already love them. My first impression: The soles are way stiffer than my Sierra's and I can't wait to test how powerful they are. Indeed, they wrap my feet around the ankle and heel just perfectly. These will give me lots of power and control. The outer sole is a tad softer than the Sierras and I can understand those complaining about the wear-out. But these shoes are made for biking, I beleive they are gonna last for years. In all it's a clever compromise between a true road racing pedal and a mountain bike pedal. The ideal stuff for touring, road training and dirt shoving with just one pair of shoes. All I need now is a set of SPD's... At 60US$ or less if you can find them its a steal. And of course, at any price, if the fit is PERFECT, buy the shoes, no matter what brand or model... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

I recently bought a pair of Carnac Flights to replace my Shimano 110s (which still are in decent shape if anyone wants to buy them). The 110's don't have a stiff enough sole for those who ride more than they walk, nor a stiff enough upper body (despite 3 straps) for those who like to pull on the upstroke when climbing. Also, when the 110s get wet, they stretch (although they dry out fairly quickly). They served me well, but I wouldn't pay full price for them again. | Overall Rating: |

I've had my M110's since '94 and I have to wonder if my shoes are the same ones I hear people complaining about below me. I commute in mine ~4 days a week, plus ride off road on the weekends, and I couldn't be happier with them. The only reason I am getting around to replacing them is I've finally worn the sole down to nothing from commuting, and walking around on campus all day. I must admit the tread is soft, but they make for comfortable walking, and they have lasted 4+ yrs. Hard to complain about that. They are very comfortable; it's not uncommon for me to have them on for 6-7 hrs at a time (granted, most that time is not spent riding), and they are well designed for walking around comfortably. The 3 velcro strap system is very adjustable and I have never had a problem with heel slip. I've always felt like they were very secure... almost an extension of my feet. Don't get me wrong, these are not in the same class as the Dominators, but for $110, I could definitely recommend these shoes.
Side note: I decided to upgrade to a better shoe recently, and got a pair of Sidi Syncros. Don't waste your money. The M110's are a better shoe than those will ever be, and ~$40 cheaper! | | Overall Rating: |

Good, but not the most durable shoe. Wide toebox (wider than a SIDI) appeals to my wide foot and twinkle toes. Comfortable during long rides. Stay out of the rocks with these shoes (or stay on the bike through the nasty rocky sections, unlike me) or the sides and heel get chewed up because there is not a protetive plastic covering. Easy to get in and out of 747's with these (surprise !). I recommend them with the durability caveat. | | Overall Rating: |

While being comfortable, these shoes don't have the durability of the Shimano 210s, which I previously owned. Unfortunately, my 210s died after a few years of serious service. Now, Shimano doesn't make them anymore, so the 110 was the best fitting replacement I could find. Big mistake. While they may fit the same, they AREN'T the same. The sole has peeled off on one of the shoes, leaving a big slippery platform in the middle of one foot. Also, an upper was sewn incorectly, causing a big fold near the lace grommets.
I would only recomend these if you have narrow feet (like I do), and will only be using the for moderate riding and commuting. Otherwise, they simply will not hold up. The M210 gets 5 stars; the M110 on gets 2. | | Overall Rating: |

The tread is wearing very rapidly compared to the older Shimano shoes. Will not buy these again, cannot recommend them highly even for the rather reasonable $85. Incidently, Shimano (Japanese) has hired the Koreans to make these shoes in Pusan, S. Korea. Only yesterday was biking past the factory.

Pros: I really like the three-strap setup as I have a really high instep and these allow me to adjust the fit nicely. The sole is very stiff compared to my first pair of bike shoes (old Ngubas). They breathe well in hot weather (see below).
Cons: One of mine has a manufacturing defect (i'm going to warranty them)with a ripple in the top of the hard plastic midsole that's doing nasty things to my foot. One ride on a rocky trail (Noble Canyon for you San Diegans) tore off a great many of the lugs on the soles. In the Shimanos' defense I should point out that the on same ride another rider's brand new Ngubas had their sole rip half off and she had to use her shoe laces to hold the sole on for the rest of the ride so these are fairly harsh conditions. In very cold weather the breathes well pro can become a con. A ride in 30-degree weather will freeze your toes quickly if you dont take carefull measures (trust me). | | Overall Rating: |
