  1. Anybody know the difference between the Genius 3 and Genius 4 shoe. I can get the Genius 3 shoe for
    about 75% discount over the 4 shoe. I know my size in the 4. Can I also assume the Genius 3 would
    fit the same.

    Thanks,

    marc

  2. Marc,

    One difference for sure is that to tighten the velcro straps, you pull away from the bike on the
    Genius 4. The Genius 3 requires you to pull towards the bike.

    That may be nit picking and not worth the price difference, but I own the G3 and find pulling
    towards the bike a pain in the [censored]. Basically, your upper/lower leg and bike frame interfere with
    the process. I had Time shoes previously (they pulled away to tighten) and never gave it much
    thought until I snugged up my G3 shoe during a ride.

    BTW, they are fairly narrow and fit those feet well. I have a very narrow heel and bought the
    woman's G3 and it fit even better.

    ^The others are replaceable heel pads, and the ratchet strap is a little more sensitive.

  4. 3's have replaceable heel pads. Main difference is the width of the ratched strap where it crosses
    the instep (what they call the "arch compression strap"😉.
