Shimano SH-R086

Price Paid:  $100.00 at LBS

Bike Setup:
Felt Z35 w/ shimano 105 component group

Summary:
Very nice shoe for the money. I went to my local shop expecting to spend 200 bucks and walked out with these for half the price. I was surprised how stiff they were for having plastic sole. Id recommend these to anyone looking for a comfortable, stiff shoe at a great price point. You could easily spend twice as much for the same quality shoe from another manufacturer.

Strengths:
Stiff, Comfortable, Good looking, Reflective, Easy to use ratchet and velcro straps.

Weaknesses:
Have only put on about 100 miles in these shoes, but so far I have no complaints.

Favorite Ride:
Mt. Vernon Trail

Bike Setup:
Cervelo RS with Ultegra

Summary:
This is a great shoe for the price. It fits well, it is light and looks smart. No ratchet, but I don't find that necessary. I actually saw the RO-75, which I assume is the predecessor, on sale in my size for cheap; tried it on and there was a noticeable difference between the two. The improvements they made on this show was fantastic.

Strengths:
* Price
* Lightweight
* Looks smart, classic look

Weaknesses:
None.
