from Castaic, CA Date Reviewed: January 22, 2012 Strengths: Super comfortable and durable. Easy to get in and out with the strap and buckle system. Metal cleats help during those rugged hike-a-bike efforts. I have ridden with on average of 4 to 6 days a week for well over 3 years and they are still going although the right buckle spring just recently gave up. The buckle still works so I keep using them. Larger toe-box than many eurostyle MTB shoes. The footbeds on the Comps are a little more cushy than those on the Sport models, the Sport model doesn't have a provision for the toe cleats in the sole, and the Sport model is not quite as stiff (I also own a pair of the Sport model). Weaknesses: The plastic toe protection on the left shoe was a little wonky from the get-go and stuck up a little right in the center. I trimmed it off with a single edge razor blade, but it left a small area for dirt to accumulate. It's mostly a cosmetic issue. Also, the stock straps are quite long so I trimmed them a little shorter and they don't catch on bushes and rocks anymore. Although many parts are available, I am surprised that wear item like the cleats are not available anywhere I could find. The stock metal tipped ones lasted for a couple years, but now I have been regulated to using plastic ones for soccer cleats that don't last as long.

from Mountain View ,CA, USA Date Reviewed: August 2, 2006 Strengths: fit, comfort, body geometry, lightweight, can be worn off the bike. Weaknesses: STUPID BUCKLE SYSTEM! I broke the right one a few weeks ago, and for some reason Specialized is out of the right one as is every store near my house that sells the shoes. Lucky me EVERYONE needs a right buckle. A pair of needle nosed pliers will get you in the shoe, but the heck wants to do this???? The buckles get a little tricky after a little while, and its tough to get out of the shoe.
