text: I have four rides in these shoes now. First, the toe-box is narrow, almost cramping. However, I have an insert and am wearing socks because I want to break the shoe in so I don't get blisters when I go barefoot. I followed the advice of others and went up a size as well. Glad I did.  Second, the shoe is very light and breathable as advertised.  The appearance is nice, almost more of a neon or bright orange, rather than a medium or darker orange. Third, the carbon materIal on the bottom is very stiff. Big change compared to my Nylon road shoes.  I can't believe retail on these shoes are over $300.  Not sure I see the value if you spend that much (which I didn't). Good looking shoe and am eager to ride more with them.  UPDATE:  So after a couple weeks now and numerous rides, I can add a couple of additional thoughts.  First the toe box does not wear or stretch out.  It is still a litte cramped with socks - even a thin pair.  It fits just right w/o sock, but wonder about those hot days when your feet swell a little.  Next, the heal and toe pad on the carbon aren't rubber.  They feel like a hard plastic colored in orange to appear to look like rubber.  They are slippery and scuf easily.  I wear the Look Keo Cleats with the rubber contacts to prevent slipping around on the ground and still walk gingerly.  Additionally, they are also not replaceable and appear to be part of the mold of the carbon outsole.  This is not a good design in my opinion.  For shoes that retail as high as they do, they should have replaceable parts.
