Yes, what in particular do you want feedback on ?

They are light, have a very stiff sole and are easy to mould in the oven. They have little padding on the uppers, so can be a bit uncomfortable if you dont get the molding right. The sole is very thin - when I used Look cleats and screws you could feel the screws and I had to switch to shorter ones. I then switched to Shimano cleats and screws which doesn't seem to have this problem. I also ended up changing the insole. Sizing for me was similar to Sidi, Bont has a sizing/measurement chart which worked fine.

I had to drop my saddle by circa 5mm, there is a notably difference in stack height with most shoes.

Given the shape of the shoe (not only the front end, but also the heel) the shoe feels different from other cycling shoes I have tried (Shimano, Sidi, Specialized, Mavic) - I think its going to be a bit like marmite, love it or hate it. I am undecided at the moment, need to commit to a few weeks of long rides to make my mind up.

I have a pair and just wanted to hear how others get on with them. I agree with what you say and I too am undecided. Not sure if the soles are thinner than Giro Factors which also require short screws. Maybe they take some getting used to.
