Good shoes but durability issues
Rating:
The Good
Good medium width, good heel hold due to cam buckle, reasonably stiff sole, good walking grip
The Bad
The neoprene on both top strap began tearing after about a month of use, resulting in a less precise fit
Overall Review:

I really like these shoes. They can be had for under $100 online and are a good shoe for trail riding, striking a balance between an XC-style fit and friendly walking performance. The sole is stiff enough but has some give when walking around.

Unfortunately the neoprene on both top straps tore after about a month. The shoes are still usable but I need to crank the top strap quite a bit to get the fit I'd like, while the strap used to be more elastic right up against the ankle, making for a precise fit without the same tension.

Other than the top strap durability issue, these are great shoes, especially given the price. Unfortunately I would not buy another pair and will looking for something with similar performance but better longevity.
