These shoes are fantastic overall -- their weight, slick design, and fit. The reason for only three stars is that after 2 months of use (riding 2-3 times per week for 1-2 hours), the front of the shoes' shape has narrowed (or caved in). Small and sharp creases have formed inside which pinch the toes. Having bought these as a snug fit, this pinching now requires two socks to protectively cushion the toes. I've contacted fizik in hopes that this pair's defect is singular and could possibly be replaced.
