Strengths:
Durability. I've ridden these shoes for almost 5 years now.
Weaknesses:
The sole is horrible!
Similar Products Used:
Airwalks
Bike Setup:
not applicable, I've used look and shimano pedals with these shoes
Bottom Line:
The sole is a hard piece of plastic. It is slippery as butter. Walking on rocks is easier in a pair of leather soled dress shoes than it is in these shoes. If your foot isn't clipped into the pedal forget it. Your foot will skate off instantly. Basically, except for the fact that these shoes have cleats in the bottoms, they make absolutely no sense as a shoe to be wearing anyplace that you would want to go riding. On the upside I've abused them for almost 5 years now and they won't die so that I can buy a new pair, which is why they get a 3 for value.

Strengths:
Comfortable, Body Geometry sole creates a more powerful pedal stroke, looks good, secure.
Weaknesses:
Body Geometry sole takes a little getting used to, feels weird at first.
Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
Body Geometry RULES! It takes a little while to get used to the way it feels, but once you do, you'll realize the difference. It has arch support like no other, and allows a more powerful and efficient pedal stroke. An all together solid shoe.

Before I got this pair, I've been using sneakers with toe clips. Pedaling sometimes took a lot out of me. After using this pair of shoes, pedaling was more efficient, sometimes effortless, even going up slight inclines using the fastest gear. I'm glad I got these shoes and also swapped out my stock pedals for the PD-M424's.

bought these shoes to last me a trek across the country this summer on my touring bike. worked out well considering they were my both my daily shoes as well as my riding shoes for 2 months. the tread wore out near the end and now i'm down to grinding on the cleat itself, but that's probably to be expected. very breathable, very nice for riding 8 hours a day in hot north dakota and montana summer weather. the neoprene tongue made the shoe fit like a glove, never had a problem with slipping or anything. never even put the laces on..just kept the velcro.

These shoes are a pain to click into Time pedals. Most shoes I've had slide in nicely to the pedals, but these catch and slip. This is a pain when you're starting a race or getting back in after a wipeout, with people piling into from behind while you try to find the sweet spot. I've tried cutting a bit of material off the sole to make it easier - guess I'll cut some more. Besides that, great shoes.

The only problem is that I'm duck-footed(pronator) and my feet occasionaly hit the chainstays while pedaling. This has scuffed up the psuedo-leather.

Strengths:

Bottom Line:
I weigh about 195 pounds, I ride about 4 times a week, mainly single track with a few rocks and logs now and then. I generally ride 15 to 20 miles off road. I've easily put a few thousand miles on these shoes. I use time ATAC cleats.
The bottom line is these shoes served me well for a year before the sole seperated from the shoe. I wish they had an armored toe box, and they let water in without booties. They are, however, very snug, with no hot spot on the sole, and you can ride far on them. They fit my time cleats very well. All in all, a good 1-year shoe. Considering the fact that I had to return my carnacs after 1 ride, I may just go buy these again.

Bottom Line:
Was initially pleased with the shoes for general riding, commuting, short blasts, but have discovered weaknesses when used in more demanding rides.
Judging from my experience and previous reviews the sole will crack, which is disappointing of a shoe in this price range.
Sole becomes very clogged in muddy (UK) conditions.
From painful experience earlier in the year I would not recommend for all day epics where carrying or pushing your bike may be necessary.
If I had submitted this review 4 months ago I would have given them five, but having used them on more demanding rides I can only give them three.

Weaknesses:
Hard to get in and out of
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
This is a great shoe for the price ($69 for me). So far they are holding up well without any signs of the soles coming apart. Nothing close to the horror stories you hear about where the lugs start coming off on the first ride.
I ride one trail in particular that has steep rocky climbs so these shoes get a real work out on and off the bike. Traction is good and they are more comfortable than I thought a bike shoe would be. They are a big help with climbing.
I took me a couple of rides to break the shoes in. At first my toes went numb after a about 3 miles. I have a wide foot (EE in some shoes) so the wide toe box is nice. The numbness is not even noticable anymore and I am sure pedals with more float in them would help that a lot. Also I adjusted the position of the cleats on the pedal and that seemed to help.
It is hard to get in these shoes. I don't mind that they have velco straps and laces, but the inner tounge is too short. If the inner tounge was longer I could give these a perfect score.
If you are looking for a good all around shoe in the sub $100 dollar range I would check these out.

Bottom Line:
They are a great shoe but the soles are very cheap. I've went through three pairs my third pair cracked today. Specialized says the reason they keep cracking is because I use ritchey pedals and they put weird pressure in a weak spot on the shoe and that's why they crack. So I switched pedals to Shimano M535's and today on my ride going off a simple very low skilled jump they cracked on the landing. I wouldn't recomend these shoes to anyone because I know they poor durability. But if you find a shoe pedal combo that dosen't crack your shoes the they would be a great shoe. I'll ask for my money back tommorow because I've already paid $30 for all the shipping one new pairs. This will be my fourth pair if they give me warranty.

This turned out to be one of the inside mounts to the spd cleat, aparently(spelled wrong) one of the bolt parts decided to die on me so i had to shift the cleat back one. However i did have them for close to a year and with the stuff i do i expect stuff to break after that time so 4 for me.
