Uncomfortable and Overpriced

Based on our own experience, these shoes provide little to no comfort for extended rides. The design looks stylish, but the high price tag doesn't justify the lack of quality materials used in the construction.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Poor comfort, high price

Light and stiff good for athletes

Light, strong and very pretty. Ideal for short, fast rides (< 50 miles). Surprisingly robust carbon soles that are great for accelerating and climbing. On long rides, the stiffness will be very uncomfortable. But I have other Grand Fondo cycling shoes.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Having problems

Shoelaces - the original and still the best way to tie your shoelaces

Shoelaces - the original and still the best way to tie your shoelaces. And they do a great job, they never loosen and seem to tighten as you ride. Very light shoes with a lot of grip on the bottom, I like them.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Very expensive
