Strengths:    Cost, Breathability, shed mud easily, durability

Weaknesses:    Breathability, Lacing style

Bottom Line:   
I have had these shoes for over four years now and they have held up well. I use them mainly on the trail, but also for commuting. I paid somewhere around $60 for them new. They fit alright. Loose in the toe box (I have med./wide feet). When tightening up the laces in the mid-lower section of the shoe it makes the bottom of my foot numb faster... kind of a bummer. They have great breathability for hot weather and will dry out fast because of this. For cooler weather my toes get cold/numb pretty quick. Booties can remedy this. Neither shoe shows much sign of wear and tear after beating them up on and off the trail (they've swiped rocks pretty hard).
Maybe they just don't fit my feet very well.
Overall: Good shoe for the cost. Best for warm weather.

Strengths:    Comfort

Weaknesses:    Cleat mount

Bottom Line:   
These shoes wear very easily and aren't very durable. the cleat mounts move very easily after extensive use for 2 weeks. I'm not a very hard rider, but I do jump a lot. I've already had to remove the factory tape (very cheaply made) and re-tape to ensure stable cleat mount positioning.

Do not buy unless you are an extremely casual rider.

Date Reviewed: July 24, 2011

Strengths:    Good power transfer, snug fit, good durability

Weaknesses:    cannot go back to platform pedals once the cleats are installed

Bottom Line:   
Excellent shoe for the money, has great traction when hiking/pushing, fit runs pretty true to size, would not recommend for platform pedals (started using with crank bros 50/50s) but great for clipless xc riding, also dries extremely fast.
