Light, extremely light, very stiff pedaling platform
Cons:
Carbon shoes take a little getting used to.
This is a great shoe. As far as I can see it is the cheapest carbon soled tri shoe on the market. Awesome price. I broke the first rule of triathlon and tried these shoes in a race. Rule broken - never try new untested equipment in a race. The shoe gave me no problems, the race was a 1/2 iron. I wore the shoe without socks and no blisters. What I love about these shoes is how air flows through cooling your feet. This also enable you to wash sand from your feet whilst on the bike.
The carbon sole offers an amazing peddling platform, compared to normal shoes it is so much stiffer. However, the carbon soles transfer more stress to your knees and I could feel this for the first couple of rides
