Strengths: They are comfy and airy. The straps have held up good. Not too bad for hike-biking, seem to have good grip.Weaknesses: Sole is seperating around the cleatBottom Line: I liked them a lot, but wish they would have lasted a little longer. I have been riding for only 7 months and they are pretty much useless now because of the soles coming apart. I will not buy these again.

Strengths: comfortable, great ratchet system, good looks, great hiking capability, work great with clip less pedals that have a platform (ex. crankbros mallets).Weaknesses: don't hold up to rocks, sides rip easily, rubber seems to wear fast around the cleat.Bottom Line: Shimano shoes in general have the best shoes on the market undoubtedly. Besides the issue of them holding up, the M086s has been the most comfortable shoe I have owned. Over the past 6 months I have really put them to the test. From doing long rides in Grey Eagle and Downieville, then thrashing them on the dh bike at North star. As of right now I am still rocking the same shoes. Even though they look a little worn with rips in the sides, they still work great. Back at home I ride semi mellow trails and do quite a bit of hiking sometimes. This is where this shoe excels. Because of the flexible sole they are very easy to hike around in and then still get awesome peddling stiffness. I plan on getting another pair sometime soon.

Strengths: Good pedal interface, comfortableWeaknesses: Durability, Sole split openBottom Line: Not durable enough!! If they had lasted for at least a year I would give them 5 stars, but they only lasted 3 months, and they are splitting wide open at the bottom. The rubber part is completely separating from the cleat mounting area. I like the way they fit.(maybe sized a little small)I had to get a 44 to fit my 9.5 size feet. They really fit my Shimano M-647 pedals well. Very easy to clip into, and comfortable.
I got almost a year out of the Adidas and they split apart. Now these go less than 3 months. I do ride rocky trails, and have to hike some places for short distances. Maybe if you don't ride rocky, nasty trails they will hold up better. I now have a pair of Sette's on order, I sure hope they are better made!!

Strengths: Strong, tight(thanks to ratchet), comfortable, great traction when off the bike, Shimano product...Weaknesses: None yet...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!

Strengths: Fit and finish are great. Ratchet system works perfect to get the shoe just right.Weaknesses: Nothing yet.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.

Strengths: Great fit and comfortWeaknesses: None so farBottom 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.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.
