I have only used Shimano, a crappy pair of Specialized, and Chrome. I love the look of the Giro and would love to try a pair on. I have odd feet. Long and narrow gun boats, and they are flat.

they would probably be good for you, some people complain for a lack of width on the non "HV (high volume) ones

I have a pair of Giro Trans Road shoes as my "nicer" clipin's and i really like them a lot -- They seem to have a larger toe box area which is nice because I have fairly wide feet for only being 10.5 size

New seat for the commuter, and it rocks! Little no of luck, the new wheels will be mounted by Thursday.

Did I absolutely need this? No. Did I want it? Hell yes. LBS has one of these for customer use. All it took was using it one time to realize that my Serfas pump is a total POS. Topeak Joe Blow Pro. Hate the name, love the pump.

Did a lot of looking to find one in my price range. Glad this one popped up. I also bought some Cinelli Campione Del Mondo bars, but alas, they're 26.4 so I have to get rid of them.

i have giros with all velcro and velcro/ratchet. i prefer the ones with the ratchet
i dont have problems with either of them staying put with many thousands of miles. you can get replaceable ratcheting buckles if you jack one up
im about to get another mtb pair and another road pair that are actually the right size
