THIS RELATIVELY LIGHT AND HANDSOME [BLACK]SHOE COMES WITH A HYBRID CARBON SOLE WHICH HAS PERFORMED VARIABLY ACCORDING TO REVIEWERS. IT WAS OFFERED AT A GOOD PRICE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT FIT. THE LAST IS NOT TRUE TO LENGTH AND QUITE NARROW. MY BIG TOES WERE PRESSED AGAINST THE TOE BOX. I TAKE A SIZE 9 1/2 SHOE AND ORDERED SIZE 43. IF YOU HAVE A NARROW SIZE 8 1/2 OR 9 FOOT YOU MAY WISH TO GIVE THE 43 A SHOT AT THIS PRICE.

I bought these on this site in September of '09 because I couldn't resist the deal. At first, I thought there was a tad too much room in them. But, I switched out the insole and everything worked out fine. I rode on these 3-5 times a week for 2 seasons. They felt good, no hot spots or numbness. However, before the end of the 1st season, the heal pad feel off somewhere during a ride. The screw that held it in place had loosened and fallen out. I couldn't find a replacement pad anywhere online. [...] Most recently the glue that holds the sole on (the same shoe) has weakened and the sole has begun to peel off from the back to the front. It just isn't what one would expect from a [$] retail shoe. I'd be giving them a much better review if they held up, because they certainly started out like a worthy purchase.

Like the shoes, but they fell apart. I use them to ride to work during the week (3 miles) and occasionally for longer rides on the weekends, but after a few months the soles started to come off. [...] we'll see how the second pair works.
