Review on ๐Ÿšด PEARL IZUMI X-alp Summit Cycling Shoe for Men by Paul Wall

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great shoes but not for wide feet.

I ordered a size up after reading numerous reviews but the shoes were still too tight so I sent them back. I need shoes with a wider toe. That said: this shoe has everything I was looking for: the Vibram outsole gives you excellent traction when hiking on your bike; the sole is not too hard, you can walk well in it; The outer material feels extremely durable and waterproof, but is most likely not very breathable. I ended up buying the FiveTen Kestrel Lace Up for my normal shoe size. However, I had to use some shoe stretching spray to loosen the right boot a bit and now they are great.

Pros
  • Low profile construction for a light, quick fit and comfortable feel
Cons
  • Something different
