Review on 👟 Pearl iZUMi MTB Mountain Bike Shoe Cover with Barrier Technology by Eric Pavelko

So after doing a little searching and reading some of the reviews on here I decided to take the plunge and ordered a pair of these. I'm glad I ordered XL. I wear size 9 (43) and the shoes fit very easily. To be honest they are too long. 1/2 inch maximum. However, going one size down results in a very tight compression throughout the rest of the shoe. The upper is neoprene and looks very good. can be nubuck leather or vinyl if you prefer. When I open the cover all the way it looks like the vinyl backing is stretched and creates a slight bubble effect on the edges of the shoe near the ball of the foot (the cleat The sole of your shoe has room to protrude but in my case seems opening the lid so air can flow directly through the bottom, this also stretches the vinyl area near the front of the shoe (Shimano M160) and I'm afraid over time they'll just start to tear. A friend told me mine, his buddy has a shoe repair shop. Sew some ballistic nylon over the sole to prevent the bottom from tearing. I think that's too much for someone who just paid $50 for it. I'd rather get over it and finally break down and order winter boots. I'm going to return them to Revain because it's just not worth paying money for something that I'm pretty sure will be ripped up in a short amount of time. In a good way I like that the back is completely split which makes it easier to get on. I just tried one of these on with jeans so I don't know how well they attach to tights. I just didn't want to disassemble the little plastic connector to separate the two shoe covers and remove the tags until I knew if I was going to keep them. the soil allowing air in and the likelihood of the vinyl cracking over time.
