Pros: Boa system, comfortable without being too plush

Cons: Tongue could use a little padding at the top

Recommendation: Got these in a package with eggbeaters and immediately fell in love with the combo. The boa system hugs your foot tight without any pressure points (feels as good as baked shoes to me). the outsole is soft enough to not feel like a race shoe when you're not on your bike. I rated 4-star because my clips creaked a little when they were new - they've stopped, hope that's a good thing :) - and they could use a little more padding around the ankle. i got a blister wearing very low socks where the boa system enters the main body of the shoe up top. I probably had them overtight. Hasn't happened since, so I'm calling it user error.
