I know it’s just a shoe review but my takeaway was a complete rethinking of how I want my shoes/pedals to interface.
I’ll reiterate that these shoes work with any pedals, but the experience mated to the Mallets is one of those “climbs like an XC bike - descends like a WC DH machine” experiences that readers are always making fun of test-writers about.
I don’t know if I’d appreciate it the same if I hadn’t started riding flats again regularly a couple years back but it’s the clipless experience I expect now.
