Review on Giro Privateer R Men's Cycling Shoes: Experience Unparalleled Performance and Comfort by Brian Whitmore

I love these shoes! on Shoes

I love these shoes! In 2012 I bought my first pair of Giro MTB cycling shoes. I used mrb road shoes because they are not as stiff as road shoes. I'm surprised my Giro Reva lasted 7 years. But it's time for an upgrade as the outsole started talking to the heel last week. I drive at least 1500 km per season. June to October. Before I bought the Privateer model, I decided to try another famous brand; But I went back to the Giro because the Pearl Izumi version was flat and chunky and not as attractive as the electric blue. I had to increase the size from the previous Giro Reva [from 42 to 43]. The included insole is perfect. The color is perfect to make all the other cyclists on the road jealous. And make me a little more visible to the machines. I still have to break them in, my legs hurt a bit.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A dubious purchase for seniors
