Who cares that Performance Bike is involved? Those are some sweet shoes. If I could stand Twitter or used Instagram, I’d be in.

Why do they have laces?? Why not a simple, easy and quick to adjust (even whil riding) closure system? Velcro etc.

@TT, they were designed with input form Taylor Phinney who wanted the laces carried over from his track cycling days.

Well… Hm… All right, but does that (on the PRO level) mean that shoelaces are as good as all kinds of closure systems?

TT – i’ve got a pair of bike shoes with laces and love them. i almost never adjust my shoes after putting them on, so that drawback doesn’t affect me. closure systems are mostly marketing, imho. i’ve got a pair of sidi dragon 2s, three different closure systems per shoe. is that really necessary?

I love my black Empire shoes. The sizing is a bit generous. I’m normally a 46, but a 44.5 with these. Comfy, stiff and light. I’ve yet to need to adjust them while riding but the longest ride I’ve done in a day was only 60 miles wearing them.
