Yes this is going to be a review but I have to put some photos in there as well. The lighthouse photo was a walk to my car after work 2 weeks ago. I remember walking up towards where I park and seeing the light and then running to my car to make sure I didn't miss it! I drove down to the marina and snapped it and a couple of others - but this is my favorite of them!
The other was an October bike ride out in the country by our house. The trees are pretty much leafless now and we have had light flurries a couple of times. You know what that means - winter is here YIPPEE!!!
I got them on Wednesday and it had been raining since then so today was my first chance to give them the once over. It was low 30's when I left the house and headed to the YMCA for a swim and the shoes did not let down.
They were warm, comfortable, and all that I expected. I am excited to get the cleat location dialed in and trying them in lower temperature weather - say 0's, teens, 20s before I make my final decision - but somehow I think I will be pleasantly surprised at how effective they are at keeping my toes warm on my winter rides!!!!
Look for more to follow on them but I picked them up from Performance on deep discount and then scored an online Performance discount. At the end of the day I paid just under $150.00 for a $250.00 shoe!!!!! That makes my wallet happy and my feet warm!
Tomorrow is my first cyclocross race of the season. Well actually first race of the season. And possibly the last race of the season. It is at Delaware Park and next weekend they have one at Kissing Bridge so maybe I will sneak out and do that one also. I might as well see how slow I am compared to all the other burners around here!
Have a great weekend - and get out in this beautiful weather!!!!

Bill, i have a set of ERGON cleat placement "tools" they will put the cleat in the correct place on the first try. you can borrow mine if you want (i'll need them back).
I like the Lake boots a lot. I've had mine for 3 or 4 Minnesota winters now. If I'm out for more than two hours I find below 30 I need toe warmers, and below 5 I need toe warmers on top and bottom of my toes.
