According to the product specialist

Pros
The waterproof and windproof Gore-Tex Koala membrane ensures warmth, even at temperatures around -10°C.
The high Climaflex collar fits nicely around the ankle and provides good protection against the elements.
Due to the extra thermal coating on the nose, this shoe guarantees warm toes.
The sole is carbon-reinforced, resulting in good power transmission to the pedals.
The BioMap Aero Overlap construction and the SLW2 dial turning system ensure an optimal fit.
Dual independent BOA L6 dials ensure fast and accurate adjustment of the shoe's fit.
The Michelin tread pattern on the outsole offers the right balance between grip, durability and flexibility.
The XC701 shoe is made of a very supple imitation leather which is a very breathable material.
The midsole is reinforced with carbon, which ensures better power transfer.
Cons
Extremely skinny ankles might still suffer from a little water ingress from the top.
Hard to put on due to the high foot collar.
The carbon injected sole may feel a bit stiff at first when you're not used to this.
