These shoes are perfect. I’m going to sound like the marketing department but they are stiff, yet flexible enough where it matters. They are comfortable and fit a D width foot like a glove. They provide tons of protection and are durable.
The build and materials quality is stellar. I had to trim my straps - but the mod is super easy and only takes a snip with sharp scissors. The strap is glued below the stitch so a snip snip is all it took.
Perfect riding shoe, absolutely love them for any/all riding. Comfortable, look good, and can take all the abuse.
Everything as claimed. I needed a one ride only break in period. My only qualm is the advice to use a plate beneath the cleat for my Time pedals. One of them bent and locked me out on my third ride. So I have voluntarily and happily voided my warranty. At this point it’s obvious I won’t need it, and if the sole wears early I’m happy to purchase a replacement pair. I’m forecasting 3-5 seasons on these daily drivers.
Awesome shoe. Very stiff but still comfortable to walk in. I have the same shoe in the non clip version and it’s been very durable.
