yesyesyes!

it's been worth it to me; 2 years and they're still going strong, despite many rainstorms. of course the cleats are totally worn down, but that's probably because i often have the urge to tapdance on floors/pavement. they were my first cycling shoes though, so other than my schmancy sidis, i can't really give a good comparison. i will caution, however, that how well they fit might depend on your feet: i find the tongue in them a bit annoying (but not enough to give them a bad overall review). oh, and i dig that they have a reflective bit on the heel!
