Also bear in mind @swedeee (and anyone else looking at Dominators) that they can be a false economy long term. The plastic around the cleat can/will wear away and isn't replaceable. When that happens it means your shoes don't sit squarely on the pedals as the plastic is needed to stabilise the shoe. Effective power transfer goes out the window and all sorts of other problems, you need new shoes because it can't be replaced, even if the rest of the shoe is fine.
If you can stretch to the Eagles, this part of the shoe can be replaced. I notice you're looking at the 2014 Dominators, you might be able to get 2013 Eagles cheaper than the 2014 versions.
They're also more blinging and stiffer thanks to the carbon sole but the main reason to buy them is one pair of Eagles is cheaper than two pairs of Dominators...
