Mavic Zxellium has been keeping me happy for awhile now. The foot bed it so great that I can leave them really loose and my feet still don’t move around in the shoe. I’ve got the Fury for dirt duty too.
Went from Sidi’s to Specialized on my MTB shoes, super impressed by the fit. Zero foot movement in the shoe, no hot spots, no angry feet. I’m sure the S-Works road would be even better, as I’m on the next step down shoe.
FYI, Sidi and Specialized sizing runs a little different. I had to go a full size down from Sidi to Specialized.

yes i know. shimano is the same… sidis run small I think. i plan on trying on the specialized at river city eventually, if i ever make it down there.

Interested in trying those on if I can find a place that stocks em, cuz we can EP those too I think. Would neer do the mavic yellow though. Too hideous.
DMT is still my all time fave but 2011 Shimano is MUCH better and finally lighter than 2010 stuff.
I used Mavic shoes before I switched to DMT and pulled them out of the closet when I was trying a new pedal system. Put them on, realized how much they sucked, and took the right back off.

The mavics don’t look excellent in photos - but i’ve never looked at them up close in person to see if they’re made cheaply, but usually you can tell. Cheap shoes just don’t look right…
Our coach stands by DMT as the best shoe made.
He rides the DMT pista shoe (Only in races though… brings a different pair even just for warming up)
Hard to compare road shoes without actually riding in them though, so I’m not sure how much trying stuff on accomplishes (other than for the sake of picking the right size).
I don’t feel like I can go wrong with the s-works, but i’m going to have to either watch ebay like a hawk or fork over the $$.
I’ve got Mavic shoes and I love them. Been riding the Chasm almost daily for a year, and they don’t look like they are gonna wear out any time soon. Fairly light as well, for a mtb shoe. I’ll buy a pair of their road shoes if the need for the ever comes up. Not those yellow ones though, yuck.
And I’m going to have to ebay them cuz not paying retail for those shoes, no matter how badass they are.
