When I was trying them on in the store, a metal clip holding the velcro in place bent and fell out... So they knocked 100 bucks off the price as this was the last pair they had... Fixed it and rode them the next day... The other side's metal clip bent on the second ride... so I'm going to make my own and hope to get a couple seasons out of them... Judging based on the other reviews, they might not make it...
If you ride every day, I'd probably look elswhere, as these seem to lack in durablility... But if you ride a few times a week and nothing too extreme, these will hopefully fit the bill... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

The sole cracks and detaches from the shoe. Poor quality. | | Bike Setup: | spd pedals | | Bottom Line: | These shoes for the most part suck. They are poorly manufactured and did not last more than one season, that's two pair. My first pair self-destructed after about a dozen rides. The local bike shop graciously replaced them. Well it happened again. The second pair broke down during my last lap at a 24-hour race. I tried to un-cleat and the bottom of the shoe broke off and stuck to the pedal leaving a big hole in the bottom of my shoe. Not good.
I would like these shoes if Nike could figure out how to put some quality in them.

I also roll my ankles easily & just came off a 6 week torn ligament rehab so I needed to find a shoe with extra support around my ankles. These shoes with 661 ankle biters give me all of that (though they would have been fine by themselves).
Yeah the size thing was a pain but my regular bike shop kicks butt when it comes to making sure that I get the right thing for my riding & that I am completely satisfied. As anyone who downhill skis knows; the most important thing that you can do is get the right fit for your boot before you buy the skis, otherwise you might as well just burn the money you spend in the fire place. Its the same with your bike shoes. I tried on several different kinds before buying these. Shoes aren't like bike components.
If you need a shoe that can handle a bike riding adventure, this might be for you. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

But then I tried to use them, ouch the pain! It turned out that the tongue had been stiched in. This is only something that you do when you need water proofing, which given the ventilation holes is meaningless on these boots.
After unpicking the stiching they suddenly became sooooo comfortable.

Ritchey pedals | | Bottom Line: | Several problems so far and I haven't even gotten these out on the trail yet. I got these through mail-order because there's nothing like them at any LBSs around here.First of all, the sizing is way screwed up. I normally wear a (US) size 11 and I had to order the Nikes in size 13.5 for them to fit properly (they don't use the European sizing). True, most shoe manufacturers will vary by a half or even a whole size, but 2.5 sizes? By the self-proclaimed shoe 'gods' at Nike? Come on.After a few wasted weeks of shipping back & forth to get the right size I finally got a pair that fit. The next problem was the recessed area on the outsole (where the cleat bolts in); it was located up so far above the lugs that my cleats won't reach the clip mechanism on the pedal. I'm currently trying to find/order some spacers from my LBS and maybe this will solve the problem. No spacers or cleats were provided with the shoes.The Inyos look like they're designed and built well, and they don't look like typical bike shoes. I'll post another review if they make up for it in terms of performance, but right now they're really sucking the fun out of clipless pedaling. | | Overall Rating: |

I have the RED ones that list price is $120 (there seems to be a couple of different AGCs). I had them since May '98. I have a very narrow foot, (a 'B' width in the US) but these shoes are loose in the front. The next size smaller was not long enough and my toe would jam in the front.Anyway, these being my first shoe, I
Like:
-Stiff sole.
-Shoe breaths very well. My foot has never been too hot in them.
-Come with cleats in front (although I don't use them because there is a lot of rock here and it make them more slippery
Dislike:
-Very heavy compared to others in the same price rance.
-Water does not drain very well. I have to turn my foot over to pour the water out after a water crossing.My next pair will be a lighter shoe that will drain better. I want something on my feet that will feel like a sneaker with a very stiff sole. | | Overall Rating: |

Must admit these Nike's have surprised me. I too was looking for a moderately priced cross-country shoe and stopped in at the local MEC to check out their wares...this one fit price wise and comfort wise....they do fit a little tight and I would suggest to buy a 1/2 size larger than usual even though you expect them to stretch with wear. I wear a dri-fit sock and they're still snug but remain comfortable...I've slipped and taken full soakers but these puppies keep ticking..can't even tell your feet are wet! Could traction on stuff you can't climb in the saddle. If anything the sole could be a bit stiffer but hey for 100$ Canadian what can I expect...good shoe..good buy...good luck!

I purchased some gray Nike Inyos about a month ago and I have been very happy with them. The first few days with them were not pleasant though. The front of the shoe seemed way to tight, and it obviously was because I got a blister or two. Fortunately, I was able to fix the problem by getting the shoe wet and using one of those wooden things that are used to keep the shape of leather shoes along with some marbles to stretch the tight parts to a comfortable extent. The result? An awesome shoe at a nice price. The aspect of optional lacing is great too, and they don't look like red, yellow, and green clown shoes. 1 star during the tight period, but I'm giving them 5 because I love them so much now. | | Overall Rating: |

I have ridden a pair of Yuhas several times a week for about six months - the shoes are quite comfortable, with stiff soles,and perform well. The tread seems to last alot longer than Nike's previous models ( poohbah). I did blow out the rear inside plastic panel from it rubbing on my crankarm, but brought them back to my dealer for a brand new pair. Decent shoe, and a relatively good price =/- $100. I would buy them again, and reccommend the shoe to fellow riders. | | Overall Rating: |

this product is good. it is a stiff, aggressive soled shoe. unfortunately with Nike's odd sizing specs, and the narrow width of the shoe, it is very uncomfortable for abotu the first 200 miles in the shoe on the protrusions on both sides of the foot. excrutiatingly painful. if you get this shoe, don't plan on going mountainbiking for a while. i have found that it is best to ride these shoes on the road first to get them good and broken in, and then and only then should you dare to take them off road. sorry guys, they are great now, but a big pain in the beginning. | | Overall Rating: |

Two rides on these babies and there stiff as a......well i dontknow but there stiff!There real comfortable,blue and yellow,have toe cleats,laces and velcro.they clean up real easy too!I also like the extra traction thats given just in case you have to get off your bike.The soles are a hard rubber that will not wear as quick as some softer sole shoes.happy trails,greg | | Overall Rating: |

These shoes are great because they are very comfortable and they look cool. I bought these shoes
last summer and used them about 5 times a week and they held up perfect. these shoes have been in
rivers, mud holes, swamps,and gravel hills and there is not one sign of a rip. I recommend these
shoes to anyone who wants a good mountain bike shoe that will last. | | Overall Rating: |
