I've had these shoes for a few months and they have worked very well. The fit is good, traction is great in different areas and durability is good. Comfort is the only reason the rating gets 4 stars. The insoles that come with them are usually cheap, and my feet hurt after a few hours of hard hitting on a hike. Replacing them should solve this problem, and I haven't ridden them either. I've ridden them 50-60 miles and they've held up with no sign of breaking down. They're not as comfortable as the Altras I've had, but I'd say the price reflects that.
