These Shoes are ... Great?

By Jonathan Rice October 6, 2008

I bought these shoes in an effort to make my transitions next season a little bit faster. I haven't yet had a chance to ride them yet but can already attest to how incredibly easy they are to get in and out of.

Pros: Main strap "locks" open due to a notch on the strap making it stay open during the sprint through T1. They are super light, and look better than they do in the picture. Oh, and they feel stiff as ... well very stiff.

Cons: My only concern is that the main strap is backward to what i think it should be, but still works. I'm unsure of how comfortable they will be on longer rides as they don't totally close due to their strange closure design (no tongue). If there isn't a fallow up report, they are as close to perfect as I want them to be.

All things considered: Interesting, worth a try, and I have to give it to Adidas for pushing new ideas in cycling shoes.
