Road cycling shoes?

[amacal1]

Looking for anyone who's had any good experiences with some shoes, preferably road shoes I'll be putting RC7 clips for powertap pedals. I did a quick search of the forum and not much came up. A couple of people posted some Darevie shoes and one for Santic. The santic piqued my interest because I have a bib by Santic that I'm quite pleased with, but I see most of their prices are really high, as high as western brands, except for one shoe they sell.

I'm considering these, just based on the brand.

I'm considering these because I like the low-key branding, the look, and the streamlined single BOA fit.

Anyone else have any recommendations?

Not ridden yet, but initial thoughts are that they seem very well made, fit perfect for my size, the dials work great and the soles are what I expect from carbon – very stiff.

Waiting on cleats to come in to mount and ride.

That particular color isn't my favorite, but otherwise that shoe looks pretty nice and it's a good price.


I just pulled the trigger on that pair of Xternity shoes I linked to.

Very stiff sole, feels similar to a S Phyre pair I have. Boa system is obviously cheaper than S phyre but works very well. Highly recommend them for the price.
