Strengths: Very comfy and the straps and ratchet work well to provide a perfect fit. Definitely noticed an improvement in my pedalling, they just angle my feet perfectly. Well ventilated.
Weaknesses: Not really suitable for winter riding as they just let water flow in, found them too cold when it got to january.
Overall: A fantasic shoe that has definetly improved my pedaling and reduced stress on my knees.
Strengths: Stiff but comfy. Don't suffer 'hotspots' on my feet when out in these. They make climbing hills that much easier as you can put all your power through them. They fit really well, which is a bonus as some shoes I've tried can be a bit hit and miss. These just felt like I was putting a pair of old comfy slippers on, from the moment I bought them. I even use them for my spin sessions.
Weaknesses: I can't really think of any. Been using them all summer/all winter and they've been ace. Maybe a bit too stiff to walk in, but then they are a performance show and not a trail shoe. Having said that I have and do walk quite a bit in them...
Strengths: Sturdy and suitable for all types of riding - takes studs for really muddy pushing!
Weaknesses: The ratchet doesn't slip but does make fine adjustment difficult.
Overall: The body geometry insoles mean that your legs are in line for efficient peddling - takes the strain off dodgy knees. I'm really pleased with mine - they've taken everything I've thrown at them in thier stride.
Strengths: excellent fit in comfort, good to ride in and they look so cute.
Weaknesses: Not comfortable to walk very far in, but they are designed for riding.
Overall: I wear the clothing I like provided it meets my needs; part of that is looking the part, these shoes do too and function very well. I'm a heretic so i wear them on a road bike (Specialized Dolce). I liked them enough to buy a second pair.
Strengths: Ratchet and 2 velcro straps are excellent. Lots of room for toes and warm socks and they are relatively easy to walk in. And they look really damn cool!
Weaknesses: Plastic ratchet is prone to break but you can get spares.
Overall: Very comfy shoes with excellent straps. Well ventilated due to mesh panels on top, but roomy enough to fit sealskins in.
