The Mission Workshop Rondel was one of the first well-designed SPD sneakers on the market. Sure, there were loads of BMX racing shoes and some MTB sneakers that were SPD compatible but the Rondels trumped those by leaps and bounds. When I was in Boston back in November of last year, Brad had just gotten his pair. Now, seven months later, it’s safe to say these are Well Used.

Aside from the obvious surface wear, Brad‘s only critique was that the soles got soft in certain spots, which is to be expected. He wore these exclusively throughout the Boston winter and now they’re designated polo shoes.

Not bad huh? What have your experiences been?
