I've used them. Plenty stiff enough, seem well made.. Bit prone to hot spots and not as comfortable as high end shoes over long distances (eg the Northwaves I now use, but that could be personal), but very good value for money. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you got them.
I used the M2.0C ones - same shoe but with SPDs and treads.
They are good. Sole is extremely stiff.
Had them for about 3 years and used for mountain biking, commuting and road riding.
Uppers started to break down a bit - outside layer coming off and the insole compacted down but was easily replaced.
They're still usable, but I found that they had loosened off too much for me to do them up tight enough and I was getting sore feet.
I would have bought them again but they don't make the SPD ones any more.
I just got some Giro Republics posted over from the USA at a good price (They are the SPD version of the Empire)
Nice to have new shoes again, and I like the laces.
Sole isn't quite as stiff but may prove to be a little more comfortable
