Great sticky bike shoe!  My feet felt like they were glued to my pedals.  Did more an XC ride in them and they made pedaling up easier, because my foot was stuck and not bouncing around.  Heading down I had to make sure my feet where where I wanted them because it is hard to adjust when your flying down the trail!

They are a bit difficult to get on also chunky and not the most appealing to look at.  But for a mountain biking shoe they definitely work!
