These are the first "true" racing shoes I've owned coming up from a jogger/trainer through a SpeedCat. I've only done one event in them this past February 2025 weekend @ CMP and embraced the additional support provided by the high-top design. As with any "racing" shoes, they are not terribly comfortable mosey-ing around the paddock but with DE sessions being relatively close together, I did not have too much discomfort wearing them from 8A-5P. For longer breaks, I'd just put the trainers back on.
I wear a 12.5 regular width in Adidas and these size 46 fit me great! I believe they'll break in a little more which is one of the reasons I kept them on all afternoon.

The sole is thin enough to provide solid pedal feel, giving precise control during braking and acceleration.

The laces tend to loosen up over time. A better fastening system would be a great addition.

Materials and stitching seem durable, but after a few uses, minor signs of wear started showing.

For the price, these shoes deliver great performance and comfort, making them a solid mid-tier option.
