Review on Giro Trans Boa Cycling Shoes Sports & Fitness by Dustin Lannan

Shoes fit and are comfortable EXCEPT the BOA buckle. The top ankle wire closure has a VERY thin tongue underneath and soon becomes uncomfortable once you tighten your shoes and ride any distance. I've even tried stuffing the moleskin tongue and making sure all my socks close way past where the wire closes to maximize the extra padding, but the wire still cuts even on a 15 mile ride. The rest of the shoe is fine but the closure fails because the tongue design is probably very cheap to make but too thin to properly protect the ankle from the top wire garrote. I would not buy again due to closure, even from the Giro store itself. I am tempted to go back to a pair of 6 year old Bontrager shoes and keep these "spare" shoes as spares in case the Bontrager ratchet and velcro strap or the shoe body fail.
