Description
With looks this good you'll have to beat admirers off with a stick. The super ridged nylon sole transfers every bit of torque you can dish out. Three hook & loop straps allow for quick changes in tightness. The power hungry aggressive outsoles allow optimum grip in all conditions. Breathable mesh mids insure cool dry rides day in day out. Includes two toe spikes, SPD compatible, 3 strap closure .

Pros: True and comfortable fit, nice ventilation, decent grip even on the icy trail, pretty stiff. Price is more then acceptable

Cons: No ratchet strap, a bit flexy upper allows feet to play

Recommendation: It's my first pair of specific cycling shoes and hard to write a review. But what I've noticed is that this shoes are made well while materials doesn't look such fancy like on high-end shoes.
I didn't wanted to invest in expensive shoes just in case I won't like clipless at all.
Sole is stiff enough to not feel pedal while pedaling. It provide also decent grip on those hike-a-bike sections. The upper is a bit flexy on the upstroke probably because of Velcro instead of ratchet.
In general I like this shoes and will use 'em till it fall apart - doesn't look like it will happens in the nearest future though. And then I'll get something better. But this is a great choice for those folks like me who wanna try clipless without spending a lot.
