Strengths: stiffness

price
looksWeaknesses: lack of replaceable heel pad
maybe a little too big in the toe boxBottom Line: these shoes are excellent. VERY stiff (the first couple of rides, my feet actually hurt b/c they are stiffer than my Sidi Ergo 1 Carbon Road shoes), while being very comfortable and roomy. Huge toe-box and I don't mind the all-silver design unlike alot of people.
for me the only minor negative to these shoes are the lack of a replaceable heel pad. i've used Sidi road shoes for years and I really like the fact that you can replace all the small parts (buckles, heel pads, etc). The shimano sole is one-piece carbon so if you wear down the heel to a nub, you are S.O.L. it's just a matter of preference.
but as I use these shoes for triathlon racing only (and sidis for everyday riding), i don't really see the lack of a replaceable heel pad as being less of a detriment and more of a "would be nice to have" kinda thing. just something i've noticed compared to my other shoes.
i raced in them this weekend w/out socks and they are very comfy.
highly recommend. I'd definitely buy another pair.
