$260.00 | | Strengths: | Stiff, very stiff | | Weaknesses: | Not good off the bike | | Bike Setup: | Giant Anthem Team frame, with XT/race face | | Bottom Line: | Awsome. this is a Road bike shoe with tread. If you want a pure Race shoe this is what you get. These are the best shoes I have ever had. Although for trails that require a lot of hiking you might want to get something with a little flex. But for a high end race shoe buy these. Super stiff, they have a wider toe box that makes it comfy and well balaced. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: November 7, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | Got these as a warranty replacement | | Weaknesses: | The rubber lugs wore out after a couple of rides. However the rides included a fair bit of walking on rocky terrain. I got replacement lugs that are harder wearing but they cost a fortune. Carbon fibre has splintered on the sides were there have hit rocks, now catches grass and plants. The Carbon fibre is also slippery on rocks. | | Similar Products Used: | Nike Carbonero or something and numerous shimano shoes | | Bike Setup: | Blur LT, XT groupo, | | Bottom Line: | Glad I didn't pay for them, but if you do riding that doesn't involve much walking they would probably be pretty good. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$200.00 | | Strengths: | Looks, buckle system, fit, feel and performance. | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized | | Bike Setup: | Standard SPD mountain bike pedals | | Bottom Line: | These shoes are great.
I love the buckle system. You dial in the tighness with a few clicks. The shoe is very stable around the heal. I hate some mountain bike shoes that feel like the heel is slipping off. These don't have that feeling at all.
The stiff construction gives you a stable ride with excelent feedback and power transfer.
The price took me aback at first, but these shoes are an investment and will perform beyond your expectations. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$219.00 | | Purchased At: | lombardisports.com | | Strengths: | Very comfortable, buckle works great. Sole is super stiff, noticed immediate difference in power transfer. | | Weaknesses: | Cleats seem to come loose really often. | | Similar Products Used: | none | | Bike Setup: | Trek 6500, Time ATAC pedals, Avid Juicy 7's | | Bottom Line: | These are my first venture into cycling shoes/clipless pedals. I use them with my Time ATAC pedals and haven't had any problems. I ride the hell out of them and my feet never hurt at all. I'm in no way an expert on shoes, but I really dig these. They are a little pricey, Lombardi was the cheapest I found them. All in all I have no complaints. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
