They look cool (if you can say that about a bike shoe) and keep my feet totally dry and warm despite mother nature's attempts to soak/freeze me. <br /> <br />My only gripe is that the heel of this shoe doesn't seem to "cup" my heel snugly; walking around in the shoe you can feel your heel slip up and down a bit - something I'd never experienced with any other SIDI shoe. Perhaps a ratchet buckle could have solved this? No idea. On the bike this completely unnoticeable, but it's kinda irritating when you're walking about. <br /> <br />Overall - a stellar product that's well worth the money if you spend a lot of time in the rain and hate booties.

My only gripe is that the heel of this shoe doesn’t seem to “cup” my heel snugly; walking around in the shoe you can feel your heel slip up and down a bit – something I’d never experienced with any other SIDI shoe. Perhaps a ratchet buckle could have solved this? No idea. On the bike this completely unnoticeable, but it’s kinda irritating when you’re walking about.

Overall – a stellar product that’s well worth the money if you spend a lot of time in the rain and hate booties.
