The Glen
Duration Product Used:
2 Years
Price Paid:
$59.00
Purchased At:
Local Bike Store
Strengths:
Very comfortable for riding and walking. Stands up well to all types of abuse. No major rips, tears or wear after 2000 miles.
Weaknesses:
Don't work too well with Time Atac clipless system. I had to trim shoes as I was falling to much. Now they work fine.
Similar Products Used:
Lake MZX 300 winter boots.
Bike Setup:
GT i-drive. Stock with Avid Disks.
Bottom Line:
Perfect for off and on road. Extremely waterproof for such a low cut. Wider fit than most makes them ideal for wide feet, and adds to comfort as your foot swells on long rides.

Duration Product Used:
6 months
Strengths:
Very comfortable shoe, excellent for people who spend lots of time on and off the bike in bike shoes. Hold up well, don't look freakish for off-cycle use
Weaknesses:
Heavy, not very stiff
Similar Products Used:
Original SPD shoe (1989-1990)
Bike Setup:
2002 Stumpjumper M4, Easton Monkeylite, M-959 pedals, Garmin Vista GPS
Bottom Line:
These have to be the most comfortable bike shoe I have tried. They are not the best for strictly on-bike riding, but when commuting to and from work, they are not outlandish enough nor uncomfortable enough to warrant changing out of them into more appropriate shoes when off the bike. Feel just like regular sneakers with a stiff sole.

Bottom Line:
first a new bike, then bike rack and now shoes. they are comfortable and easy to clip in and out of. i was looking for a pair of shoes that didn't have the severe rise in the toe because i wanted a shoe that is clipless but also easy to walk around in. so far so good. as i use them more i will update my post.
