Review on ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Premium Pearl Izumi Women's All-Road III Cycling Shoe: Superior Performance and Style by Charles Baker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great shoe for indoor cycling

I am a member of LA Fitness. I do indoor cycling classes more than four times a week. About a month after I started cycling, I decided I needed to buy cycling shoes. My feet hurt after every class due to the lack of support my shoes gave me during class. I did a lot of research on cycling shoes before I bought this shoe. I chose this brand because of the great reviews on Revain. I was hesitant because I always try on shoes before I buy them, but I knew I could return them if I needed to thanks to Revain's excellent returns policy. I wear size 8.5 shoes, so I ordered a size 41 for these shoes, which is 8.5 US sizes. The shoes fit exactly as expected but there is some wiggle room in the toe box (very important). The shoes broke in about two weeks but I've been wearing them for two months now and no problems. The shoes are very stiff at first, but they do shrink. I also bought a set of compatible Wellgo Shimano SPD cleats for the shoe. Spikes are very easy to attach to shoes. I'll tell you that if you've never been "caught" on a bike, be sure to ask your instructor how to do it. I have a great teacher and she helped me. It will take a few rides for your cleats to break in, but once they do you won't have any trouble getting them on and off. The first few times I literally had to take my foot out of the boot and force the boot off the bike. But now I'm in and out like a pro. If you ride your bike at least a few times a week, invest in a good pair of cycling shoes. You'll feel a power in your sprints that you can't get with regular athletic shoes. Your knees will thank you too, because your shape matches the shoes perfectly. Much luck!
