I got a screaming deal on the shoes (they supposedly were damaged, but I couldn't find so much as a scuff when they arrived). I was skeptical, but having worn them for 2 winters now, I'd gladly pay full price. I've had my Specialized MTB shoes since 2011 and they are still great, with only minor scuffing, and I'm not particularly easy on my shoes (not super hard on them either, but...) so if I have to pay $200 every 10-15 years for a pair of good shoes, I'm ok with that.
