Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I have the MTB equivalent, SH-M086L. Bought them recently, in fact, so I do not have many miles in them. So far I quite like them. They have plenty of room for my wide feet. Quite light (the road version might be even lighter), and they were the least expensive shoes with a ratcheting top strap I could find (the latest deep discounts might've changed that though).

Overall, me like.

I rode them for a week with Ultegra SPD-SL. They aren't that stiff, but the huge cleat provides a pretty big platform, so it felt as effective as SPD, just different. Really stiff shoes with SPD-SL or other road cleat would be a killer feeling I'm sure. I chose to go with SPD pedals and stiffer MTB shoes for a bunch of reasons, but I may eventually try road shoes again...
