Im about to order these, thought I'd ask users what they think of them first.

Thanks in advance,

Alan.

Alan I've had two pairs in Black. Brilliant shoes. Very stiff easton soles and the uppers seem to take most scrapes. Mine sized up tight tho (like Sidis).

Bummer, not what I wanted to hear as I was going to order from Germany....

Maybe just as well I asked.

Any idea how do they size to Specialized?

I'm a UK 11 & my Specialized Expert road shoes are a EU 46.

Im a UK 9 and ordered UK 10. This allowed me to wear slightly thicker socks in Winter.

Great shoes (in terms of fit and performance), I was racing in them for a year and a bit (I've got the Code ones now, for more bling like).

Durability wise, I haven't been particularly impressed - the scuff guard on the toes started developing holes (but only in the very outer black layer) after less than a month Towards the end of their life the sole started to come away from the rest of the shoe, a problem that was temporarily solved with superglue, but it was terminal eventually.
Sadly, the same thing has started to happen to my Codes, which I am quite distressed about.
