Strengths: relatively cheap
tightening system works well
Look good (white)
Break in easily
Last forever
Weaknesses: I can't think of any... I bought a second pair when I realized they stopped making them!Bottom Line: This is my second pair. First ones cost $100 and when i found out they weren't making this exact shoe anymore i found a second pair for $70. I love these shoes. Bought them when I first got serious with clip on pedals and racing. My first ones lasted 2 years and about 4 crashes with countless drenching wet rides. They still work but I wanted a new pair. They fit my feet well, are cheap, and look good.

Strengths: Cheap. Good fit. Ratcheting buckle is a key feature. Solidly manufactured. Shimano has come a long way from the first torture device they called a road shoe back in 1996.Weaknesses: The sole is flexes more than carbon, but it really isn't that noticeable. Inside lining is cheap and thin, so you can feel the bottom of the shoe.Bottom Line: I bought these shoes as a training/wet weather(throw away) shoe and have been pleasantly surprised. The size is exact, meaning a 42 is really a 42 so don't order a size bigger like I did (better loose that cramped toes it thought). Even so, the fit is really nice; the inside part of the shoe hugs the curvature of your foot, which gives a very secure feel. I like the fact that with the ratchet and 2 velcro design, I can really crank down on the ratchet, while keeping the velcro straps loose to avoid hotspots. Although a bit heavier than the Specialized, the shoes feel very stable and substantial without being sluggish. No blisters so far.
Favorite Ride: Fast Paceline

Strengths: They look ok for a cheap shoes.
Price is ok in some shops, especially overseas.Weaknesses: Didn't fit my feet well and gave me blisters.Bottom Line:
I hated these shoes so much that I gave them away!
Perhaps they were just not suited to my feet, but.....
I bought these to have some cheap shoes to use on wet days, but they gave me blisters in 3 places on both feet (heel, near the big toes and outside my pinkies), so, after trying a few things, like different socks and insoles, I gave them to the kids at the local velodrome.
Yes, they were the correct size.
I've got Sidis which never give me blisters, so there was no need to keep using the Shimanos. In fact, I've since bought a new pair of Sidi 6.6s, which means I've now had 4 pairs of Sidi without one blister.
The shape feels odd to me: they felt ok around most of the foot, but they are big a high around the front.
Nah, not for me. I won't ever risk buying another pair of Shimano shoes for for fear that I'lljust be wasting my money on nothing more than a pair of blister-makers. :-)
