Bottom Line:
my feet are wide so it's hard to find comfortable shoes. i was starting to dread putting on the specialized's i've had for the last few years.
i didn't want to spend this much on shoes but they felt so good at the store i had to buy them. they are light, breath well, don't make my feet feel like they are in a vise. very stiff soles too.
finally, i'm not much on looks vs performance but i draw the line on clown shoes. i won't consider shoes that looks like i mugged ronald mcdonald at the trailhead. these are understated so ringling bros won't keep asking me for a tryout.
