Review on Pearl IZUMi Leader Spinning Black Sports & Fitness by Norman Costello

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not what I was hoping for!

I really like the look but after 20-25 miles they start to cause a lot of pain in my arch as well as the lateral part of my foot and I've worn them on numerous rides in the past month. sure they were "broken". I tried adjusting the tension on all the straps and also moving the clamps around a bit to see if that made a difference, but it didn't. I bought these at a time when I drove a lot and when they arrived I was delayed for a while on my trip so I missed the 60 day return. I'll see if I can get some of my $$ back by reselling it. My old $55 Bontragers are more comfortable than these on long trips, they just squeak a lot.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Flaws
