Road Cycling - Any opinions on this shoe?

Or for that matter, how they compare to the Attack & Ergo shoes?

The shoes would be mounted to Look A3.1 pedals. I ride for fitness & enjoyment only. I am also on the heavier side than most cyclists.

Diadora makes good shoes. I'm on my 3rd or 4th pair now. I think they'd be a good choice for you.

What could we say that would sway you between models? I don't expect a lot from my shoes other than they are comfortable. That means I need to try them on first... there are some things you just can't buy over the internet.

I've tried on the Cosmo & Ergo in my LBS. Found a good deal ($$$) on Diadora shoes online, was planning on the Attack. Figured Attack because it combines the ratchet design of the Ergo but adds on one additional velcro strap.

Seller does not have the Attack in 45, at least in black, still checking on Red; but has offered to give me the Athlete ALU for the same prie as the Attack, $140. The ALU has 3 straps but no ratchet design. The Ergo would cost me $110.

Easier question:

Ergo for $109
or
Athlete ALU for $139

Which would you buy?

whichever was the most comfortable ...
