Great Alternative for a Hardened Clipin
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Couldn’t use my Ultegra pedals on a recent e-bike trip to Tuscany, and these made all the difference vs day to day sneakers or low cut summer hikers. Very ok for short walking excursions in the small towns as well.

Good shoe so far
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- 44
Have used this several times as my trial shoe when using flat pedals. Good fit; I like the speed lace system but shoe requires it tighter than I expected. Walks well and sufficiently stiff for pedaling. Really connects well to flat pedals. Mine are black; looks good, price is right.
