Pearl Izumi E:Motion Road N1 Neutral Race
These shoes are not yet available, but I got to 'borrow' a pair from Mike Sandrock himself. When I explained that I wasn't quite sold on the N2 shoes (nice shoes, but just not MY type of shoe), Mike asked me if I'd like to try on a pair of N1s; I said "sure, but you don't have any". He said he did have a pair-as long as I didn't mind wearing 'used' shoes. With that said, he literally gave me the shoes from his feet. I rarely LOVE a pair of shoes, but I LOVE these. They're light, flexible, good-looking...yeah, yeah. But they have a certain 'sweet spot' in the middle of your foot that really makes this shoe special. When your stride gets to that certain place, these shoes just come alive. You find yourself WANTING to push a tiny bit harder/longer to keep yourself in that sweet spot for as long as you can. Completely seamless, roomy toebox, very comfortable. THESE are my next shoes.

If new to the brand, TAKE YOUR TIME adjusting to them. Switch back and forth with your old shoes while you slowly build the mileage up. your calves and Achilles will thank you.
I had a good experience training and racing in this shoe.
Quintana Roo CD.01
Tri one! I think you will like it as long as your not to leggy. I took a leap of faith on this one as the closest dealer was a 5hr + drive and I chose to online order it. I tried abunch of rides locally, Cervelo, Trek, Felt, and so on. I found the CD0.1 the best ride at the best bang for my buck.

I was a competetive swimmer in HS & College MANY years ago. I know all about goggles, good and bad. Sadly I have a wide face (yes my wife calls me a fathead). I have trouble finding regular glasses that fit and swim goggles have always been difficult for me. Most simply won't sit right on my face and leak immediately.
'Good' ones generally begin to slow leak and I have to either empty them or abandon them after 400-500 yards in a pool. Not these. Pool or OWS, these things stay put until I take them off with ZERO leaks. Remarkably they do that with far more comfort that regular goggles. You have to try a pair.

I purchased the 910 with the heart rate monitor and ant+ stick. All have been very easy to use. Pool features are great and now I can stop trying to count laps in my head and can concentrate on my form.

Overall if you have some extra dough kicking around and want high end comfort for your rides Id recommend these. Hoever if your looking for value Im sure there are far more shoes that provide comfort at a much less eye poping price.

Overall a solid racing shoe. Lighter than a normal trainer, but enough support for a half marathon.

Great shoe for short road races. Comfortable sockless, so I've enjoyed using it for sprint tri races. For me, not the best shoe for longer distance training. good compromise between a racing flat and light-weight trainer.

Great suit at a great deal. I usually don't write reviews, but I wanted to take the time to do a review on this suit because I think it's great compared to my older B70 and Orca.

Hoka One One Bondi B
I read a review on the shoe last year, but I was immediately scared away by price. I am a bigger runner at 6'2" 220 and always have pains in my hips after running and throughout the day. My first run in these shoes was 17 miles with zero discomfort during the run.
