According to the product specialist
Pros
| The use of Gore-Tex and a thermal coating keep your feet warm in temperatures down to -3°C. |
| The tight high sock ensures that no water or cold can get into the shoe from above. |
| The Jaws Carbon Reinforced sole is both stiff and comfortable. |
| The reflective elements along the shoe ensures high visibility in traffic. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
Cons
| The tight sock on the shoe takes some practice putting on. |
| The carbon injected sole may feel a bit stiff at first when you're not used to this. |
| Extremely skinny ankles might still suffer from a little water ingress from the top. |
| Hard to put on due to the high foot collar. |
