Review on Terra Powerstrap X4 Black 45 by Darth Naubert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This Italian-made shoe is a great entry-level to intermediate gravel shoe for the money.

- Surprisingly good performance for a gravel shoe, they perform very well especially in the mountains on narrow tubeless gravel tires on sidewalks or trails and they just fit my SHIMANO PD-M9120 perfectly; XTR; Flat bicycle pedals SPD. They look like road shoes but are designed for clean gravel. The velcro is really good, makes it quick and easy to adjust the sock on the fly and it's very easy to put on and take off quickly. In fact, I now prefer velcro boas to other shoes after running hundreds of miles in them last year. You may have to look elsewhere. I tend to be a normal size with a slightly narrow toe and high arch and they fit great after a 20 mile ride with no pressure/numbness. My dad recently wanted a pair of these too after seeing mine because it really isn't like most road bike boots/cleats as it's uncomfortable to walk in. With the cleats installed, you can go anywhere with ease and comfort because they are more even on the ground and the traction is also designed for trail walking.
