Couldn't get on with the carbon fibre ones. Found the top strap digs in a bit if you're in them all day. So got a pair of Buckingham titanium stuck velcro top pads on them and never looked back.

If you get velcro top pads go for the ones with the metal inserts. Much more comfy.

I have just bought a pair of buckingham titanium spikes with velcro pad's. i have worn them for 4 out of the last 5 days and i'm really please with how comfortable they are.

I used to use ally bashlins with Velcro, on titanium buckinghams for the moment, putting some Velcro wraps on them next week but can't see it making them as comfy as the bashlins.....we shall see
