Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by skibum   on January 7, 2010   Pros Great fit. Comfortable. Stiff enough to be serious, but you can shoulder the bike and hike in them if you have to. Cons Could be more durable. Verdict I love these shoes. I have a hard to fit foot (wide forefoot/high instep) and the cut of these shoes plus the three strap closure works perfect. The only other shoes I've been able to get this good a fit are a wide SIDI that costs twice as much. These are stiff enough for good power transver but comfortable enough for all day epics. reviewed by tumbleweed14   on November 7, 2007   Pros Secure fitting. Good traction during hike-a-bikes. Stiff sole. Cons Looks are a little plain. The cleats seem to poke through the sole a bit so you feel a lump where the cleat sits. Annoying every ride, but you get used to it after 10 min. or so. Price slightly expensive for what you get. Verdict I like these shoes but with a few qualms. They do the job and look decent.
