These are the best cycling shoes I have owned thus far, have only used Bontrager shoes. Do not get any numbness in my right foot with these at all. If i get drenched in the rain, they do not retain the water like my previous shoes. Had a Bontrager mountain bike shoes, which this replaced and one of their road shoe for my road bike, if memory serves me correct, stiffness is 7, these are 6, but not bad at all.

Couldn't have installed an after-market stereo without this. Works pretty well. Unfortunately I had to install it upside-down since I drive an '05 Ford Explorer. But I didn't need to use the extra braces at all, so it was nice not having to hassle with those. And having the extra space above my stereo really isn't all that bad, just different than I was expecting.

I don't want to go into gross detail, but I did have an open pore that occasionally became painfully inflamed.
