All new shoe for 2003. Designed to be a comfortable, walkable shoe with enough serious cycling features for spinning or century riding. If you''ve compromised and bought mountain bike shoes in the past to get a comfortable shoe you can walk in, then this is the shoe you have been looking for.

Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$65.00
Purchased At:
Dales Cycles Glasgow
Strengths:
Nice fitting, nice looking shoes. Fairy stiff but sill comfortable to walk in. I’m particularly impressed with the sole which is made of a soft gripping rubber\plastic which prevents slipping on roads stairs etc. Handy lace tidy thingy. Look like the will last a few years.
Weaknesses:
Outer case on laces came off after only a couple of months use. The inner lace is not great for tying. Not very water proof.
Bike Setup:
Mountain bike used for cummuting. Shimano SPD pedals
Bottom Line:
I use these for commuting. Find them pretty good all round. Their lack of water proofing is a problem but the do allow your feet to breath very well.

Strengths:
Comfort, looks.
Weaknesses:
Sole stiffness.
Similar Products Used:
Cannondale C-soles, Specialised comp and sport
Bike Setup:
Kona cromo hardtail. Bombers, XTR, 636s.
Bottom Line:
Bought these a few weeks ago, and I'm pretty impressed.
Bought them for riding to work and around town (I hate riding on flat pedals) so that I didn't need to hobble around in proper cycling shoes or take another pair of shoes with me.
They're not as stiff as my previous Specialised shoes, and make my feet look small, but they're perfect for riding to work etc. Don't think I'll be using them off-road too much, as they don't seem to offer much protection and will be hot, but for the purpose, excellent.
