Given the corrosive properties of magnesium, I hope the bottoms are coated really well. I think it's a great idea for a shoe but if any of the magnesium gets exposed to the air, it's gonna get ugly.
Damn spiffy shoes tho!

The shoe feels good, a little narrower than my older DMT Ultimax's. I haven't tried the flashes, but I imagine they are very close in weight. The sole is very stiff and sometimes a bit uncomfortable, but they are very nice.

idk about that magnesium, as has been said magnesium corrodes, fast. shoe soles are one of things that I think carbon is simply the best choice for. light, stiff and strong, nobody out there (except maybe ryanf) is string enough to crack a properly made carbon sole.
