Submitted by Kent a Road Racer from

Date Reviewed: November 27, 2010

Strengths:    well vented, snug fit, stiff sole

Weaknesses:    none after the first year

Bottom Line:

First carbon soled shoe I've used. Super stiff w/ excellent power to pedal. Well vented, maybe to well for cold rides. Took some adjustment to eliminate hot spots but no discomfort other than that.

Date Reviewed: May 24, 2007

Strengths:    Coolish in summer,not too cool in winter

Weaknesses:    retention dial put pressure on outside of foot

Bottom Line:

Big improvement over the vapor but the adjustment dial puts pressure on the outside of the foot on rides longer than an hour but i like the even snugness the retention system provides.
