I had high hopes for the GR7 but it lasted about 10 rides on my feet before being sent to the back of the closet. I'm a long time FiveTen rider, but am annoyed by how short they last and how little they do to shed the elements. So, I picked up the GR7 and on my first ride the uppers got a couple holes in them from the pedal spikes when I slipped a pedal. Over the next week or so I slipped many pedals. The compound feel sticky enough, but the soles were so stiff that I kept slipping pedals. They definitely don't have that same wrap around the pedal feeling that the FiveTens have. Would you say the CB's are more similar to the GR7's? I have a hard time buying CB products from back in the days of my constantly exploding EggBeaters.
