I loved the speed laces! The sizing is true. The lace pouch is neat (though I’ve never had an issue with my bows). The shoe is comfortable. My only issue is that they don’t connect to the peddle well. I have peddles very similar to the crank bros, but that’s really finicky anyway, if I have to run CR peddles to have these shoes, that’s almost an insult. Anyhow I bought 5ten freeride pro and side by side, there’s no comparison, the 5tens demolish the crank bros. All the neato features mean nothing is the shoe doesn’t connect to the peddle well. That said, 5ten are 50% Expensive, and about 50% better, so where is your money best spent?
