Review on ๐Ÿšด Experience Optimal Performance: PEARL IZUMI Men's Race Road V5 Cycling Shoe by Joshua Carter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The BOA system needs improvement.

The BOA system needs improvement. The locking system does not fully tighten the entire upper. It only seems to pull in one area, causing discomfort and a lack of fit. The lacing is a bit odd in the way it's presented, and the use of fabric loops keeps the laces from slipping easily. If the shoes used BOA plastic lace guides and better lace orientation, these shoes would be great! FYI I wear men's shoes size 7->8 (dress->sneakers) and bought 40.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • The list will be long.
