Strengths:    Looks good. New buckle system is a lot better than the previous one. otherwise comfortable.

Weaknesses:    Poor design in the area that needs the most thought.

Bottom Line:   
Sad to say, but I'm not impressed. I have the Comp mtn shoe, so I figured I'd give the road version a try. Turns out the padding around the cleat plates inside the insole is crappy and it feels like i'm bruising the ball of my foot when I get out of the saddle for a hard effort. Took it to two shops who didn't have my size for a replacement, so they said to put extra padding in the area and see how it works. Really, for a $170 shoe?

Strengths:    Fit; lightness; stiff soles

Weaknesses:    My feet still hurt during centuries. Fortunately, the velcro straps are easy to loosen, even on the bike.

Bottom Line:   
I've used these shoes over one year. I like them alot. Light, stiff soles, plenty of room in the toe box, good ventilation. Body Geometry works for me.

BG comp vs pro shoes and carbon stiffness

Anyone use both the BG comp and pro shoes. The comp has a 7.0 stiffness rating of its carbon insert sole whereas the pro has a 10.0 and full carbon rather than just an insert. Bo   Read More »
