I loved the outsole of the Culverts. I found it to be consistently grippy, and confidence inspiring because I never worried about slipping a pedal. I can’t say this has been my experience with the new outsole all along, but I have found the right pedal combination that makes them feel fantastic now. The new outsole is thicker, which lends itself to less pedal feel, similarly because the grip and rip pattern is only at the ball of the foot it feels more vague and less integrated with the pedal. This was my experience with the Raceface Chester and Chromag Daggas anyway, BUT the Cambers matched to the Deity T Mac feels incredible! Just know you might need to pedal swap until you find your match, once you do these shoes beat all the competition.

They are sized too small. I had to return lim and they were already sold out

I bought the size. I typically where in every other shoe and turned out. They were too small and they don't do exchanges. So I sent them back thinking. I would reorder a size larger, but they're all sold out.
