Took a short trip to try on these shoes (30 miles) and felt very good. The shoes are very light, very stiff and have a lot of ventilation under the shoes. For summer rides, this is the perfect shoe. The only downsides I've found so far are [1] the upper has a knitted compression system that makes it very difficult to put on and that I'll hopefully get used to over time; and, [2] I bought them in black and the brand letters are white, but from the picture it looks like the shoes are all black.
