My road shoe experience is limited to Shimano (several pair over time), Garneau, Fizik, Sidi and Lake. In the latter I've even had the kangaroo hide version. But these leather cx241's are my faves, chiefly for their unique fit dedicated design (which also augments the comfort and power transfer factors). No cycling shoe maker has as many offerings, all with their own unique last, and this model is as close as one is likely to achieve to an actual custom built shoe. Good stuff, Maynard. You won't be disappointed.
I bought this shoe at the beginning of the season and it was instantly comfortable. It looks a little wide but cinches down nicely. I like a bit of room for thicker socks when needed. Bottom line: fantastic shoes at a great price!
These are the best shoes I have ever used and I have been using bike shoes since they had wood platforms and leather uppers with cleats nailed on
