Louis Garneau Carbon Air Tri Cycling Shoe

I have this shoe, got it through my team for a steal of a price.

The power transfer is fantastic, it's easy to get in and out of but the fit feels funny. That being said, I've never gotten any blisters from them going barefoot for 40 miles and they seem to do the job just fine. The ventilation is fantastic too.

As for fit, they will work great for normal to wide feet, but if you have narrow feet they may be a bit wide. The toe box has ample room too.

very pricey shoe

I've had mine for almost 2 years now and love them. Great fit if you have a wide foot.

I've heard good things about them, I'm just waiting for my LBS to get it in my size!

Looking at other carbon race shoes, I like the set up of the shoe (the one strap closure, set up of the tongue) and I think they're est at a decent price.

I picked up a pair at an online tri store's after Christmas sale for around $125, and have been impressed with them. I thought I'd keep my old pair of Sidis around and save some wear and tear on the LG's but I'm not even sure were I last placed the Sidis. You can save some money with the BT discount (10% for free member or %15 and free shipping for Bronze and above level) at Trisports.com, cutting the $199 price tag down at least a little.

I never thought I had a foot that was on the wide side and wear standard D running shoes, but I have no foot pain in the LG's like I had on the former Sidis. I do wear a double E in my Easton ice hockey skates, E's in Warrington fire and USAR rescue boots, but D's in Danner boots. So I do have some width confusion going on.

As mentioned they're vented real well and I haven't had any issues with hot spots etc while wearing them. Rode in some heavy rain this past Saturday and they drained real well too, socks were soaked but no pools of water held up in the shoe. They have two foot pads that come with it and the other one isn't vented and makes riding in cooler weather better then the fully vented foot beds.

Love em! I have a wide foot so they fit great. They're nice and stiff so also provide better power transfer.

Another wide foot wearer who loves the shoes. They can be cold and drafty at low temps, but neoprene booties solved that.

Thanks for the input everyone. I did go to the LBS and tried on the LG shoes and they did fit too wide for my foot. I ended up getting the Shimano TR50 tri shoes. I have only ridden in them once, but they seem to suit my foot well. I have way more toe room in the Shimano's compared to my Nike road shoes, so that will take a little getting used to. I will post a review on them once I get some mileage in them.

Thanks again for your info.
