According to the product specialist
Pros
| The three Velcro fasteners allow for quick and easy adjustments to the fit. |
| The combination of synthetic leather and mesh material makes for a breathable and sturdy upper that is suitable for warm conditions. |
| The wrap-around construction makes for a snug fit and keeps your feet firmly in place. |
| Better fit thanks to Shimano's Surround Wrapping. |
| Easy to adjust fit thanks to their BOA L6 twist closure. |
| Fibreglass-reinforced mid-sole, which allows for better power transfer. |
| Durable and competition-worthy grip thanks to ULTREAD outer sole. |
| All-round MTB shoes thanks to the high level of comfort and good power transfer. |
| A simple turn of the BOA L6 dial is all it takes to fine-tune the fit. |
| Perforated synthetic leather composite upper for a comfortable fit and breathability. |
| The rubber XC outsole provides good grip when you're walking. |
| The fibreglass-reinforced nylon sole is lightweight and optimises power transfer. |
| An optimal fit thanks to the new SLW3 closure. |
| Breathability is very good due to the many ventilation holes. |
| Ergonomic heel shape for a snug, tight fit. |
| Jaws EVO sole for optimal power transfer and comfort while walking. |
Cons
| These shoes do not use a BOA fastening system but the Velcro is low-maintenance and easy to use. |
| The sole is not as stiff as in more expensive models, which is less efficient in sprints but more comfortable for beginners. |
| Mesh provides more ventilation, but you will need a shoe cover in cold weather. |
| The BOA dial is located in the middle of the forefoot, which means that the pressure distribution across the entire forefoot is not optimal. |
| The fit of this MTB shoe is fairly narrow around the toes. |
| The front Velcro strap is less precise in terms of fit than the SLW3 dial closure system. |
