Its also nice having a leather shoe that I can treat years down the road.
Nice! I just got a pair of the Specialized Pro. To me they felt more comfortable (in the shop) than the Expert (with the single boa) and a pair of Sidi's (not sure the model but they were $389). I have yet to have them out on the road though. But I got them for $225 so, not a bad deal in the shop.
