I have the poggio's. My experience with Nike bike shoes is that they are more on the narrow side. Other than that they are top notch.

I have the Ventoux shoes and have been extremely satisfied. As kewlrunningz said, they tend to be a bit narrow (which works well for me). I'll probably be looking at Nikes once these wear out.

I'm sorry but I would never buy a Nike product. I can't turn a blind eye to their treatment of workers just because Lance is affiliated with them. Unfortunately they have a strong PR campaign and their image seems to go unscathed still today.

Trek dealers should be able to stock them. I know Nike and Trek have some sort of online agreement, not sure it that remains in store as well. All of Nike's cycling gear is made in Italy as well.

i have the nike hautacams
i love em.
initially the mouth of the shoe was tight and i thought i would be in for a world of hurt, but after 3x 20 mile rides, they softened/loosened up. the shoes are incredibly light and are very snug. it's hard to beat $99 for a cf shoe that's spd, spd-r, and look compatible with a ratcheting buckle up top. the shoe breathes very nicely...i get cold easily so it breathes a little too much for my tastes so evening rides i have to get some neoprene toe warmers soon. on a hot day, though, it breathes extremely well and doesn't get hot at all. they are narrow...i have a B width foot and a semi-high instep...no squashing of the instep and it's not too narrow for my foot profile.

I have the Hautacams. I bought them solely because of price (cf sole for $99!), but I couldn't be happier with them. No hot spots, easy to adjust for comfort, and a good stiff sole.

i've got the poggios. I think...like other people said...they run a pinch narrow. I like it, though. I too, have a narrow foot.
I have found that I carbon sole is getting really scratched though. I'm not sure if that means its gonna fail soon...I sure hope not.

I work off of Mira Mesa - a hop, skip and short bike ride away from you. I live up in Escondido - a slightly longer ride away. I plan to start commuting by bike next week though. Just maybe one way (wife works across the street - she can carry clothes and the bike can go on top of the car for the ride home since the roads are a bit busy for me after dark). :D
