Strengths: Stiffness, fit. Great shoe for the $$ I paid.Weaknesses: Toe and heel tabs have come off sometime this past summer. Not a big deal.Bottom Line: I bought these since my old Nikes blew out and having a Look bike and pedals, the shoes seemed like a natural! I like their lightness and stiffness. They were initially difficult to get into, but have since stretched and slip on fairly easily. Great power transfer. I am having difficulty now in getting a "hot spot" on my left shoe. However, I think that this may be more of an issue of my foot rather than the fit of the shoe....they fit great-like a glove.
Favorite Ride: Bull road loop
Price Paid:
$90.00
Purchased At: SuperGo online
Similar Products Used: Carnac legend. Didn't fit as well and they cost allot more.
Bike Setup: Look kg 271, D/A crank, Mavic Mektronic shifters, Look carbon pedals, Mavic Ksyrium wheelset.

Strengths: Inexpensive carbon shoe. With decent fit & good power transfer.Weaknesses: 3 velcro straps, but the middle one is facing the pedal, so it's often getting lifted up as I ride. Kind of annoying, but not worth any sort of rash violence..Bottom Line: I basically bought the pedals & got the shoes for free, so... But after riding them for a year in pretty much all conditions that I encounter (never snow, hardly rain) they've held up pretty well. Not super light, but not really that heavy either. Respectable.. Only giving it a four for the below mentioned design flaw..
Favorite Ride: Millerton

Strengths: stiff (great power transfer), good looks, glove like feel, great price.Weaknesses: Will work only with LOOK cleats and pedal system.Bottom Line: Excellent shoe with very stiff soles, making for a remarkable power transfer. I've read that carbon soles are the stiffest sole around, and I definitely concur. I felt the difference when wearing these shoes compared to the shoes I had made by Exus and Diadora, who both use plastic-based soles. I also like the glove like feel, and good velcro design that does not create hotspots on the feet. I like Velcro enclosures more so than the lace-up and velcro combo.
Great shoe at a great price. Be aware that the bolt patterns on these shoes will only accept LOOK pedals.

Strengths: Very comfortable, good stiffness.Weaknesses: Apparently shoddy manufacturing since the components fell off and the heel disintegrated after only 3months.Bottom Line: I bought these shoes on closeout and was tickled pink at the beginning. They fit great and are very comfortable. However after about a month the small rubber pads on the toe and heal of each shoe fell during various rides. After that the left heal (the one I use for support at stops) is now disintegrating. These are full-carbon heeled shoes and they'd better darn well last longer than 3 months! I've emailed the company my compaints, but I' not sure where this'll go.
