Bottom Line:
This is my first pair of clipless shoes, but I love them. They provide a comfortably tight fit, lots of style, Shimano quality, and a beautiful connection between man and machine. To top it off, they do it all at a $100 price point. Who needs Italian leather? Buy these NOW!

Fit and finish are great. Ratchet system works perfect to get the shoe just right.

Bike Setup:
Trek fuel ex8, shimano xt pedals.
Bottom Line:
These fit like a glove for me. So far they have held up great in mud, water etc. One thing I have noticed being a newbie is don't over tighten the ratchet too much or you will get numb due to poor circulation. I recommend to use shimano XT pedals with them.

Bottom Line:
Great shoe so far. Fit, especially round the toe area fantasic. Although I have not had these to long, I am impressed. First ride wearing these was with my 5 and 7 year olds. This meant plenty of time off the bike running and pushing the kids at various times. At no point did I get sore feet. I've had great wear out of 2 pairs of M150's so hope these last as long. 4 stars only at the moment, but will report back after more time wearing these.

Strengths:
Great fit, sturdy, ratcheting buckle is tough.
Weaknesses:
None so far.
Similar Products Used:
Shimano M075
Bike Setup:
Trek Fuel EX 5.5
Bottom Line:
I got these after wearing out my M075s. The M075s were a little tight in the toes area, but these M086Ls are perfect. They fit like a glove, strap in securely and [as with most mountain-shoes] the tread on the sole protects the cleats from wear while walking. The ratcheting buckle is replaceable and also move-able if you prefer the shoes a little tighter fiting or if you have slim footsies. SPD cleats only.
If you're looking for a comfortable, well built shoe, without paying the premium, these shoes are perfect.
