According to the product specialist
Pros
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 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. |
Precise adjustment of the closing mechanism by means of the rotary knob and two velcro straps. |
The combination of carbon and nylon in the sole makes this shoe stiff yet comfortable enough for long rides. |
Cons
The carbon injected sole may feel a bit stiff at first when you're not used to this. |
The tight sock on the shoe takes some practice putting on. |
Supplied without optional spikes. These can be ordered separately. |
