Review on 🚴 X-Alp Gravel Cycling Shoe by PEARL iZUMi by Edwin Kreps

I loved the feel of these shoes - they were buttery soft and extremely light with plenty of room in the toe box. I really liked the white color. Unfortunately I fell between size 40 (a bit short) and size 41 (too long) with this shoe. I wish they were half the size of some other pearls. Please note that I wear a size 41 for Pearls women's shoes (outdoor shoes are usually a size 8.5). I suspect the size difference is because they are based on men's lasts and require a small size for women. Can't rate performance as I've never had a chance to test them on a bike so I gave them one star.
