I guess that was before you got distracted over trying to make $20 on the eBay/Honig's purchase/return/resale.

What's so hot about the Tanel shoes? Sorry I'm new to this. I'm trying to get feel for what brands are good.

Nothing super-hot about them, other than they are lightweight, comfortable, durable and offer great protection.

The unique circular cleat pattern on the sole is advertised as taking pressure off weight bearing areas of the foot. That seems to be true from my experience.

I have a pair and I love them. But the "best" shoe is going to be highly subjective and vary by personal preference.

When it comes to plate shoes, most offer equal protection. My check list then goes, comfort, weight, price.

Look at Gerry Davis and Honigs as well during your search.
