Strengths: Fit well and comfortable. Light weight with a good ratcheting system.Weaknesses: The sole separated from the shoe on both shoes after about 1,000 miles of use. The shoes never got wet. Just normal use. Will try to remedy with warranty.Bottom Line: Great fit, comfortable shoe, light and stiff. Fell apart after 3 months of use. Same problem happend to a pair of Nike cycling shoes after 10 years! Never had any problems with my Sidi shoes.

Strengths: Look good; fit me like a champ! Best shoe I've owned. No problem with buckle; I stopped the tongue slide with a small piece of velcro.,Weaknesses: They don't last forever. I wish more shoe manufacturers would follow Sidi's lead with replaceable heel plates and other components. These are expensive shoes to replace!Bottom Line: I bought these on sale - lucky find in my book. I suffer from "hot foot" - pain in the ball of my right foot when the temp goes over 75F or the climb is endless. DMT Ultimax is the ONLY pair of shoes that seem to mitigate if not end the problem. And I have tried Sidis Max, Shimano semi-custom fit, and others.

Strengths: Light, stiff and good looking.Weaknesses: Finish not as good as Sidi. Poorly designed tongue floats around no matter how much I tighten the shoe and what sock I wear. Never found balance between comfort and tightness. No arch support.Bottom Line: Very good looking when new with a stiff and light carbon sole. They've worn well, although the sole scratches very easily and cracks have appeared in the silver color of the uppers. Also, after about 8000 miles of use the velcro has pealed off the back of the strap.

Strengths: Stiffness (sole). Lightweight. Simple design.Weaknesses: Price. Tightening system is not well designed: straps hurt. Really does not fit all feet shapes...Bottom Line: Well I'm not really satisfied with these shoes. I bought it because I found it at $90, a third of the usual retail price. But I just can't figure out how cycling shoes can cost $250 ?!?! It is just possible?!?!
The sole is very thin and rigid and I wasn't disturbed by the flat shape (I used to ride carved shoes for years): one good point.
But I quickly faced a problem with the straps: It's hard to tighten the feets without hurting. Just can't find the righ compromise.... I feel like the tighening system is not well designed( like Sidi's ones), there is a deffect there. This just doesn't work. The "tongue" isn't large enough, too: it is useless in this way! I never saw this problem with any cycling shoes before. I wonder if the designer is a cyclist...
To conclude, I am a bit disappointed.... It could have been just perfect with better straps and upper "tongue". What would I think if I paid it 230 or 250$? For this price I don't want to choose between performance and comfort.

Strengths: stiffness; lightweight; durable; chris horner rides them.Weaknesses: hard buckles strap creates redness on instep; doesn't hurt though.
velcro detaches from strap and strap stretches over time.Bottom Line: Great shoe overall. Very stiff sole. fit my feet somewhat better than Sidis (I have slightly wider than average, but not flintstones). Took a few hundred miles to break in the upper; tongue floated around until they broke it.
