Almost all the distance riders around here wear Dominators, me too. I love the heel fit and I'm a puller-upper. I try to pedal with contact in the heel cups most of the time, whether pushing down or pulling back and then up. We really like that we can walk around in them, because distance riders do need to walk around to resupply, controls, event stops, that sort of thing. I can lift the rear wheel right off the ground in a hill sprint, though I obviously try to avoid that. The exact fit can be varied with socks. My fit allows me to run thin socks in summer and thick socks in winter. I just crank them down more with thin socks. I probably have 80,000 miles in Dominators. I'm on my second pair only because the first pair got stolen.
