According to the product specialist
Pros
| The NRG Air Carbon sole combines comfort and optimal power transfer. |
| The Unibody construction prevents pressure points on the foot. |
| The shoe's ventilation holes offer good breathability. |
| The AirFlow system ensures ideal airflow along the sole. |
| The Powerstrap velcro closure wraps around the foot like a ribbon, offering an excellent fit and very high wearing comfort. |
| The R5 nylon outsole is reinforced with carbon, for the perfect balance between comfort and performance. |
| These shoes combine a great fit with excellent breathability. |
| The low amount of seams reduces the likelihood of irritation to a minimum. |
Cons
| The power transmission of the sole is not as optimal as with a full carbon sole. |
| The closure of the shoe consists entirely of Velcro straps, which do not close as well when dirty. |
| The power transfer to the pedals is not as good as that of a shoe with a full carbon sole. |
| The sole is not very stiff, although that makes it very comfortable. |
