Review on Giro Men's Savix Cycling Shoes - Black by Eddie Sanchez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Disappointed - uncomfortable

I bought these to replace my old Nike Poohbah which after 30 years in the mud and mud is now enjoying life off the mud and sunbathing in the Saudi sandbox. The Savix are comfortable and the outsole allows for the use of both road and mountain spikes. . My choice is SPD cleats, but maybe I'll switch to road cleats soon. The Boa system is easy enough to use and the shoe fits snugly to your feet. It remains to be seen how they survive the dust. The shoes are very cool even at 40 degrees C. The only downside I've found is that unlike the Poohbah, which have recessed cleats, the Savix cleats stand proud which makes walking on hard surfaces noisy (similar to tap dancing) and on tiled floors is through the Metal spikes of the SPD rather slippery.

Pros
  • No bean stands. Despite several exchanges, the transaction is quick and friendly.
Cons
  • Requires additional accessories or hardware such as B. Spikes, which can increase the overall cost.
