Scott Tri Carbon Cycling Shoes Review by GEC Elite Kim B

My first thought is that these shoes feel like slippers. My foot seems to fit perfectly and there is no part of the shoe that is uncomfortable.

On further inspection, there are areas in the midsole of the shoe labeled adjustable volume arch and adjustable metatarsal button. I did not take the insoles out and see the underside of these areas until after several rides. They consist of plastic inserts on the underside of the insole which can be removed. The most comfortable set up for me is the default setup with the inserts included. I have flat feet and the raised arches provide good support for me. The adjustable options seem like a good idea to accommodate different feet.
Another feature I was first sceptical of is the small velcro strap at the front of the shoe. My previous triathlon shoe only had one large velcro strap across the middle of the shoe, so I was concerned that I would have to adjust the small strap each time I took off and put the shoe on especially in transitions during a race. However, the small strap is an asset as I can adjust the fit on the front of my shoe but I can take the shoes on and off without touching the small strap. Therefore the shoes are very fast in transition. The carbon fiber base of the shoe provides good transfer of power and the stiffness is not uncomfortable.
The shoe also breathes well and has a thinner mesh on the inside to prevent gravel or other particles from getting into the shoe. My only suggested improvement would be to offer the shoe in a color as the white gets dirty very easily and can make the shoe look older faster. Often when I am riding I forget that I am even riding a bike, which to me says that the bike and shoes fit perfectly.
This is a great pair of shoes that I think will hug my feet for many miles to come! Get yours at Trisports.com and use code GEC-S for 10% off.
