Summary:
Excellent shoe. Fits well without socks and very easy to slip foot into with shoes clipped onto pedals: makes for a faster transition. Wide velcro strap is reverse mounted so you can easily tighten while leaving T1. Lots of ventilation holes. No internal seams, etc. to rub foot even when barefoot. Very easy to remove foot and leave shoe on pedal while riding into T2 for faster split. Sufficient 'wiggle' room so toes aren't cramped.

Strengths:
Stiff sole. Well thought-out/engineered details: these were designed by a triathlete.

Weaknesses:
None.
