Strengths: These shoes have been very durable so far, even after a few landings in and on some nasty cacti. On that note, they seem to be fairly cactus resistant, as my feet have not suffered any punctures with these. They are QUIET to walk in, unlike my SIDIS - while that's not such a big deal, it is a nice fringe benefit to me. They dry fairly quickly after a good rain storm.Weaknesses: As with other stiff soled shoes, these have no traction for walking or hike a biking it on smooth rocks. Nothing is perfect.Bottom Line: The rubber soles have no grip on rock, but they are rubber instead of hard plastic like SIDIs, so they are actually kind of nice to walk in. It took several rides to break these in, but they have been pretty good shoes so far - especially for the price. They say you get what you pay for, and I am pretty happy with what I got for 100 bucks. They are cheaper than the SIDIs I bought at 200 bucks several years ago, and they seem to be of the same quality, time will tell. This is a good shoe for the weekend warrior to the occasional racer. I'm sure weight weenies would take issue with it, but I'm a Clydesdale, so the weight doesn't phase me.

Strengths: Great shoe, fits well, comfortable, good for walkingWeaknesses: Could complain about weight, but really, they're shoes peopleBottom Line: Great shoe. Real happy with it. Worn it for 6 hours straight no problems. Could be lighter but can't complain too much since I got it with cleats for $50 basically new. Love the ratchet system on it.
