Pros:
Comfort, great air flow, carbon sole, super comfortable. Cons:
NoneI've only used these a few times now, but they are great, easy to get on and extremely comfortable. The way that the shoe is built seem to help reduce feelings of numbness in my feet as I ride.

Pros:
Light, tons of ventilation, sock-free comfort, ZERO hot spots, styleCons:
None, but if I had to be really picky I would say that the velcro strap should be allowed to loosen more to ease putting the shoes on while on the bike. This shoe is the best top of the line shoe that I've tried. I've tried the Sidi T2, LG Tri Air 2, Pearl Izumi Tri Fly, and the LG Carbon Tri-Air. By far this was the best. Great sock-less comfort and as much ventilation as you would get if you rode barefoot. I chose these because I wanted a high end shoe to use in the Ironman Arizona. I was very picky about fit, comfort, function and style, and these came out on top by a mile. As long as your not getting these for winter riding your going to love them. I chose the silver color with no regrets.

These are my first venture into Tri specific shoes and i am totally happy with the purchase. I have a little over 100 miles on them so far. The first couple of rides were strange because I am not used to such stiff soles that transmit every bump right to your feet. But every ride the shoes get more and more comfortable. I bought these a bit big because my last shoes were a bit small and I did not want to deal with that again. I wear a size 13 shoe, and ended up getting a 47 (a 14 by specialized standards) because my left foot is slightly larger and was knocking against the front. The velcro strap does a good job of staying tight (not as good as a ratchet device, though). I put these shoes and and instantly i feel faster. I think this is a great shoe for anybody looking to upgrade, especially for a carbon soled shoe (the Sidi is more expensive and you don't get the carbon sole)
Excellent Ventilation
Excellent shoe. Fits well with or without socks and very easy to get foot into with triathlon shoes clipped onto pedals: makes for a faster transition. I would recommend.
