from Toronto, Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: August 6, 2005 Strengths: Better then using running shoes with platform pedals. Dual velcro, roomier then Euro makers, colour, price, hled up well to a little mud and a 10min rain soaking (as in no damage to suede) and great for cold winter rides with thicker socks on. Weaknesses: In hot summer months with thin socks on it feels a little wide on my feet, not 3 velcro straps (but it's enrty level), no toe spikes (El Gato - "the cat" needs teeth, no?). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $77.00 Purchased At: D'Ornellas (1997) Similar Products Used: None as these are my first clipless shoes, but I still have and use them today. Bike Setup: 2001 Trek Fuel 90 Disk, 1996 GT Ricochet.
