I use shimano DX pedals and am curious if they will be ok to use with these shoes.

Are they any good generally??

Yes. Have had a pair for about 8 months. I like them but if you're used to stiff XC shoes these will lack sole stiffness in comparison. I like the roomy toe box and the quick lace. Very comfy in hike-a-bike situations.

The white color doesn't do very well in muddy conditions as to be expected, but they clean up really easily with a sponge and washing up liquid.

I don't have DX pedals but don't see why they wouldn't work with them. I use them with Shimano M520s and M785s.

I had a pair. Ten days in the Alps saw the stitching come apart and the sole start to come away from the upper. Chain Reaction were great and gave me a refund. The sole could do with being stiffer and the quality wasn't great.
