Pros | Excellent pedal grip, comfortable, true all-mountain performance | Grippy, comfortable, lightweight | Tall ankle cuff with extra medial ankle padding, fantastic grip, good power transfer | Great pedal grip, sturdy construction, protective features, comfortable | Grippy soles, casual looks, reasonable price, versatility, lightweight |
Cons | On the expensive side of the spectrum, Stealth rubber wears more quickly | More expensive than some, slim fitting | Heavier weight, polarizing looks, not the most breathable | Heavier weight, sizing runs a little small | Somewhat loose fit in the forefoot |
