Review on Terra Powerstrap X4 Black 45 by Brian Inman

Got this to have a little more "road" but with SPD pedals for my gravel bike (which I ride both road and gravel). I rode Giro mountain bike shoes, which breathed well but tore a bit in a fall. They're stiffer at the top but still comfortable. The straps work well and are nice and smooth, although I don't always feel tight in the forefoot due to the stiffness of the upper. good space to carry. Not very breathable, but I didn't get very hot either (although I avoid riding in the heat of the day). The only major complaint is that I wish there was some stickiness/grip in the center of the sole where you can't quite automatically snap into place. It's nice to be able to turn the cranks coming out of traffic lights etc. Don't do that in them as your foot will slip off as the underside is firm and smooth except for the tread patches front and back.
