Strengths:Durability, velcros, comfortabe, easy to clean.

Winter/rain/mud/heat used them in every of those conditions, and hey are just great. After five years and many kkm I/ finnaly replacing them with other shimano shoes. Hope they'll be as good as those.

If you want to have good and cheap shoes and you can find them go for it!

Date Reviewed: November 20, 2004
Favorite Trail:Oak Mountain
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $35.00
Purchased At:Cahaba Cycles
Strengths:First off i should say that i got these on a 50% off discount so dont be suprised if you have to pay up to 75 but these shoes are great!
Weaknesses:None
Similar Products Used:Wal-Mart beater shoes haha
Bike Setup:Gary Fisher Marlin, Shimano PD-M520L pedals, and a WTB RocketV Race saddle.
Bottom Line:This is a great shoe for the first time clipless, goes great with the shmano PD-M502L pedals, comfortable, and they look sharp. I would definately reccomend that you buy these shoes, especially if you can find them on sale for 35 bucks like i did, i really lucked out, remember...after every ride...brush your teeth...no one likes a mud mouth ;-)

Submitted by Marty a Weekend Warrior from North Augusta, SC 29841
Date Reviewed: March 21, 2004
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $69.00
Purchased At:Andy Jordans Bikes
Strengths:Extreamly comfortable, Good stiff sole. Good bang for your buck. If you don't mind spending another $70 then I would get the shimanos that have the crank on the side to tighen down. But not everyone is willing to drop $140 on MTB shoes. The MO71 provides a good, well constructed shoe for a reasonable price
Weaknesses:Every blue moon the toung works itself over to the side. If you have your straps good and tight, this won't happen.
Similar Products Used:Pearl Izumi
Bike Setup:2003 Giant NRS 1
Bottom Line:Extreamly comfortable, Good stiff sole. Good bang for your buck. If you don't mind spending another $70 then I would get the shimanos that have the crank on the side to tighen down. But not everyone is willing to drop $140 on MTB shoes. The MO71 provides a good, well constructed shoe for a reasonable price. They seem to be holding up quite nicely. They also work very well in mud, and breath quite well....

Date Reviewed: January 15, 2004
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $65.00
Purchased At:N.C. bikes
Strengths:affordable, spd compatible
Weaknesses:numb toe
Similar Products Used:none really
Bike Setup:jamis komodo
Bottom Line:Good shoe for the first time clipper, fair price, spd pedals can be had for cheap. I've only had problems with the bottom of my foot going a little numb below the cleat, but that's probably my fault for riding like I do
