Pros
Good entry shoe - price. Comfortable, good fit, solid shoe with good stiffness when riding while still comfortable on hike-a-bike sections. Great ventilation with the mesh cover over the toes.
Cons
Super cold when the temperatures drop - so double up on socks or get shoe covers.
Review
This was my first mtb shoe and it has done the job well. Keeps my feet cool in the summer, but freezing in the winter. But for the price can't complain at all. Provides solid stiffness while pedaling but isn't uncomfortable if you have to walk it (great traction). For the price, this is a great shoe to start off with then you first start riding clipless. I've been riding with them for about 2 years and no complaints.
Pros
decent price
comfy
reasonably stiff sole
mesh uppers are well vented (when it's hot out)
grippy tread for hike-a-bike on rocks or gravel
Cons
A little squished in the toebox, I had to go one size bigger than I wanted to get a fit
mesh uppers are well vented (when it's cold out)
Review
I got these on sale at Performance Bike, and for the price they are great.
The sales rep told me they are the #1 best selling shoe in the greater Denver area, and after using them some, I can see why

Review
Decent mountain biking shoe. Foot gets really cold at about 45 deg so be prepared if you go cold weather riding.
