Sidebike SV-08 Pro RD Carbon Road Shoes

Second followup: I think I put about 3000 more miles on the shoes, did a lot of virtual riding over the past winter. The shoes are still doing great. My only issue is that the plastic coating on the ATOP closure wire was wearing off the top wire where it entered the ratchet (both shoes). The plastic would get jammed in the ratchet system and sometimes wouldn't open without a lot of force. I ended up cutting the plastic off for that section and it has been fine since. I did order a replacement set of wires in case they fray or break. I may end up buying a spare ratchet as well. The parts are pretty inexpensive. So still factoring those in you really can't beat the price.

Just following up on this post. I think I've put on about 1700 miles on these shoes. Probably about 2/3 of the time on the rollers indoors. The rest outdoors in temps ranging from about 40° to 80° F. Been very comfy. Very stiff. The buckles ratchet correctly. Overall I'm very impressed with the shoes. And I'm not saying that they are great for the price, I'm saying they are great shoes. Of course it's only 6 months in so I can't say anything about longevity.
