Price Paid:  $99.00 at Local Bike Store

Bike Setup:
Giant TCR2, Bebop pedals

Summary:
Wide toe box and good fitting shoes for the price. My previous shoes were too narrow causing numbness, the new shoes are much more comfortable, but I still get some slight numbness after long rides. My biggest gripe is the heel cup which just doesn't grip my heel very well allowing the shoe to feel a bit unsecure during the up-stroke. The dual straps are adequate but a third strap would probably improve on the comfort and feel. The heel pad feels very secure while walking but isn't replaceable. Still, a good value for the price.

Strengths:
Wide toe box, stiff sole, arch support, price

Weaknesses:
Heel cup, an additional strap could improve fit

Price Paid:  $95.00 at The Great Bicycle Company

Favorite Ride:
Miccosukee Loop

Bike Setup:
Cannondale R1K

Summary:
The Specialized '01 Comps fit extremely well, are lightweight, have a stiff sole, and look great. The orthotic insole provides excellent support and minimizes foot numbness. I considered Sidis or Carnacs but could not justify their cost. I enthusiastically recommend these shoes as I believe they are a pleasure to wear.

Strengths:
*Quality Construction
*Orthotic Insole
*Wide toe box
*Perfect fit
*Great looking

Weaknesses:
*Silver finish scuffs too easily

Price Paid:  $99.00 at Specialized.com

Favorite Ride:
Any route along Lake Ontario

Bike Setup:
Specialized Allez A1 Sport, Shimano 105, Look pedals, Profile Designs AirStryke 2000 aerobars

Summary:
This is a very comfortable shoe with good support and a very stiff sole for good power transfer to the pedals. The Specialized have plenty of width- may be a good choice if your feet run on the wide side (like mine do). The two velcro straps are adequate and I haven't had any problems with loosening during rides. The heal pad is a firm foam which is very comfortable when you have to walk in them. The Body Geometry feature in the arches feel a little wierd when you first put the shoes on, but provides good support when on the bike. Overall a very good product.

Strengths:
-well built
-good ventilation on warm days
-very comfortable
-Body Geometry
-very stiff sole

Weaknesses:
ventilation almost too good on very cool rides- need toe covers.
