Strengths: Wide toe box for wider feet.Weaknesses: Weight, they are heavier than average.Bottom Line: I have been using the Carnac Legend for about 12 years. I chose them for the wide toe box. They are stiff enough for me, and weight is not an issue for me. If you have a wide foot and/or like a roomy shoe, choose this one. After 12 years, I am still happy with my shoes.

Strengths: Nice looking, comfy.Weaknesses: Weigh a ton, lower quality materials than the Carnac LeMond.Bottom Line: I bought these many year ago as back-up to my even older, beloved Carnac LeMond shoes. In comparing the two, the LeMonds are superior to the Legends in that they are a little lighter, the soles are much stiffer especially in torsion, and obviously built better with superior materials. To correct the less-stiff soles of the Legends I now have to use 4 cleat shims stacked on the outboard side of my Look Delta cleats. Other wise, there is obvious drooping of my feet to the outside as I pedal on the downstroke. I will keep using the LeMonds until they fall off my feet then buy D2 shoes. May make the Legends into cycle art.

Strengths: Design and build quality looks flashy- like a bmw. Flashy words- "UCS sole,"etc. Works with multiple pedals with adapters), excellent with time-
no adapter necessaryWeaknesses: High price. VERY HEAVY- like a brick- 1-2 pounds each compared to any shoe i've tried, even time. Sole NOT stiffer than average, nothing special, not worth the price.Bottom Line: Shoe fits fine (although not as tight as sidi genius) and is very comfortable (has carpeting inside) but is heavy, performance is low (heavy overall, not stiff sole).
This shoe detracted from my riding. Just lifting it with hands or feet requires effort.

Strengths: Comfort. Wide toe box. High Quality construction. Durable. Goood looking and vents very well.Weaknesses: Weight. Price.Bottom Line: Combine these shoes with an orthotic, Superfeet insole or Carnac "Conformable" aftermarket insole and you have a winner. Very comfortable, durable and nice looking shoe. A bit heavier than some high-end shoes but very stiff.
