$50.00 | | Purchased At: | Touring Cyclist St L | | Strengths: | I bought the 2004 version of these shoes in 2006 as a closeout which made them very affordable. I found out quickly they were also very comfortable and had a super stiff sole. They dry out very quickly and have held up on the outside after 2 years of year round abuse. | | Weaknesses: | I accidentally tore the flap directly below the velcro straps the day I purchased. I put duct tape on them and they have held together like a dream. Since I ride year round, I found these shoes impossible to ride in inclement weather. The cold air shoots right thru the vents above the toe. The cleat plate on left sole recently moved/adjusted and has made them uncomfortable for walking. | | Similar Products Used: | Cannondale Roam | | Bike Setup: | Cannondale Furio X, GT i-Drive 5 4.0, All SRAM and FSA | | Bottom Line: | I recently purchased the 2008 version of 661 attacks and want people to know that these shoes are worth every penny! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$60.00 | | Purchased At: | nashbar | | Strengths: | - breaths very well
- snug fit
- cheap | | Weaknesses: | laces (remove them and just use the velcro straps) | | Similar Products Used: | northwave, answer | | Bike Setup: | used on both my single speed and FS (eggbeaters) | | Bottom Line: | Laces were a huge pain until I removed them halfway thru a ride. Just using the velcro straps worked well. I'm now only using the velcro and keeping the laces in my camelbak in case I need a tourniquet.
My regular ride has two water crossings, and they dried really well. We'll see how they breath when the Texas summers hit. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$35.00 | | Purchased At: | Nashbar | | Strengths: | Stiff and have great fit. Great airflow. Used for 300 miles and think they are great. | | Weaknesses: | Not the best to walk/carry bike in, spd cleat scapes the floor. Laces get in the way of the velcro straps. Also the straps are too long.
On long climbs my feet can go to sleep a little. I am not sure if this would happen in any shoe. | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized | | Bike Setup: | Hardtail trailbike. | | Bottom Line: | Great value and great performance. Just could do with a few minor changes. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 28, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Inexpensive, quick break in period. Good airflow. Stiff as hell. | | Weaknesses: | Application and removal. | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano | | Bike Setup: | K2 4.0, Manitou sx, ect. | | Bottom Line: | Great shoe, very stiff and great airflow. Don't buy these if you take your shoes off alot. It takes forever to get puppies on or off. Once there on they are like nice and comfy. You can crank on these and they won't move. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$51.00 | | Purchased At: | pricepoint | | Strengths: | well made, three straps, laces, tongue under and over laces, well-formed heel cup, rugged outsole | | Weaknesses: | runs kinda small, toe box is really tight and cut to a severe point, colors kinda ambiguous | | Similar Products Used: | noone | | Bike Setup: | n/a | | Bottom Line: | solid shoe at a very good price. measured in metrics so the conversion is a bit tricky as they seem to run small. three straps are essential and the fact that these have laces as well as straps make for a nice tight fit. haven't had these long enough to give a durability review. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
