Bike Setup: Giant TCR 1 Aero, mavic kysirium elites, ultegra groupset throughout, aero seat post, carbon h/b stem, r-600 pedals.
Summary: The model shoes for this review are the Nike Altea since there's no category I've placed the review here.
Overall a very stiff, very lightweight, comfortable shoe ideal for training racing etc..with the carbon sole and soft uppers, this shoe delivers both practicality and comfort at a reasonable cost.
Strengths: Price, the mrp is around 120us$, I picked them up for around 3000 baht which is around 80 US$. Simple yet, practical, stylish design and very comfortable. They also dry-out a lot quicker than other bike-shoes due to their mesh-uppers. Cool in the tropical heat of Thailand...especially on long hill-climbs.
Weaknesses: None as of yet, I did get a blister or two when 'breaking them in' but nothing since then.
Similar Products Used: Sidi, Shimano, both very good shoes as well...but heavy and take ages to dry out.

Bike Setup: Lemond Zurich Road Bike. I ride 3.5K-4K mile per year.
Summary: I wouldn't buy them again. I didn't notice until a few long rides (20 plus miles)later how painful they were and having hot spots. I kept hoping there was a break in period, it hasn't happened yet and it's not going to.
Strengths: Nice Looking
Weaknesses: Very uncomfortable. I wear a size 42.5 and can not get the shoe to feel well, Front lap will dig into foot when tightening up the latch

Bike Setup: Giant TCR-2, also Cramerotti (Columbus SL w/ Veloce)
Summary: They are a bargain at REI-Outlet.com I didn't believe what they said about the size being too small. I normally wear size 9 shoes, I ordered a size 9. I've been through 4 shoes previously over many years. Summary: These are THE MOST COMFORTABLE cycling shoes I have EVER owned. I only wish I bought more of these before they go out of stock!!! These are not heavy at all compared to my other shoes. They have a very conservative look. 3 straps are easy to use and put on. Did I mention they are REALLY COMFORTABLE?
Strengths: Fit great.
Weaknesses: Not many in stock
