Specialized Comp

Price Paid:  $0.00

Bike Setup:

Summary:
Crap total crap, THe soles flex so bad you feel the ribs in the ball of your feet. I don't weigh but 165 and am not a stomping type rider. I spin and they still suck.

Strengths:
None, Inexpensive maybe

Weaknesses:
Flex to much poor fit for duck feet.

Bike Setup:
2000 specialized allez a1 sport, and others

Summary:
nice, roomy, comfy, and have taken moderate abuse very well. i got an excellent price, but they are worth (to me) up to around $60.

Strengths:
$14 -- can't beat the price. found these in the outlet bin in a box marked size 36, but they were 46! score! comfy, roomy, have held up well so far, no problems. contrary to popular opinion, i find specialized equipment and bikes to be quite well made and rider-oriented for my needs.

Weaknesses:
none so far

Similar Products Used:
Shimano and Nike road cycling shoes, Nike mtb shoes

Favorite Ride:
country roads

Bike Setup:
Sampson Kalispell with DA, Look pedals, Cane Creek and Selle Italia

Summary:
I bought these shoes because they fit a little better than the too tight Diadora's I used to use. But, after longer term use I regret not spending an extra $50 for some better shoes. These are very heavy, and even though the sole seems very stiff, I get painful hotspots in the balls of my feet on longer rides. I'm shopping for something new

Strengths:
Better than sneakers

Weaknesses:
Too heavy, I get hot spots on my feet on rides over 3 hours, finish is wearing poorly
