Price/Performance/Asthetics
Weaknesses:
Weight/Flex
Bike Setup:
Mongoose Sommet
Bottom Line:
Don't care for the standard looking clipless shoes. Like the hiking shoe look much better. Heavier than the standard bike shoe with a bit more flex, but I like it. I like the look and the extra weight gives me a better workout.

Favorite Trail:
desert mountain single track (Blue Diamond, Boulder City)
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$50.00
Strengths:
Fit and comfort. No problems clipping in/out.
Weaknesses:
Durability - almost immediately, tread knobs started breaking off. After 6 months, the soles near the cleat plate are broken all the way through. (Granted, this is from "hike a bikes" on jagged southwest rock.)
Bike Setup:
Fisher Tas with SPDs
Bottom Line:
Because they fell apart, I'm looking for a new, more durable shoe. I got these on sale, though, and put a lot of rides in them. My rating reflects if I had paid closer to MSRP.

Bike Setup:
Giant ATX 870 frame, LX components, Marzocchi Bomber fork, Time Z pedals.
Bottom Line:
Great looking shoe for the novice racer/rider. I like the fact that it doesn't have a severly stiff sole so you can get off and hike if you need to. I'm looking forward to using them this summer. Plus, with the wider fit, they fit me better.I got them for a great price so I didn;t think I could go wrong.

Bottom Line:
A comfortable, good looking shoe with a firm sole. Not too chunky which avoids smacking the cranks as my previous shoe did. Not a bad walker but wouldn't like to hike too far in them. A great shoe for the trail rider or not so serious xc racer.
