Ok, and a bit Meh

Great shoe on the bike - terrible shoe off of it. Definitely not a hike a bike shoe, trying to walk through mud, or up unridable parts, is the most uncomfortable experience you could have.

Comfy, Bulletproof

Bought these to upgrade from an earlier model of the Recon 2.0, and they've solved a lot of the issues I had. The shoes just outright fit better, they're stiffer, and feel like they breathe a little better. Been using these primarily as gravel racing shoes, and I'm really pleased. I was going to keep the old Recon 2.0s as backups, but I may just break down and get another pair of these.

Really nice shoes but the fit is very different than previous models

I have the last version Recon 3.0 and also the previous version S Works Recon. (All size 49) This new version is substantially wider in the forefoot and allows your foot to move around a lot more in the front of the shoe. And I have wide feet. Not that this is a bad thing, but in my case I found that I had to tighten the BOA's a lot tighter that created some numbness. Maybe I need to play more with insoles. The heel area does a great job of retention. New 3.0 is 25g heavier than the older 3.0 but far more robust. The sole is also is a great upgrade from the previous version and seems like it will last longer. Of course I have 49's in the clay color and look kind of like clogs.
