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.
