I have no comparison to these shoes but I really wish they had better insoles. This is an easy/cheap fix, replace them with new ones. The sole is definitely stiff, as it should be. The build quality looks good and they are easy to clean. I use them with a caged Shimano SPD XT and have had no issues with engagement or disengagement. There would be a five star rating if they had better insoles.
