Pearl IzumiX-Alp Gravel Shoe(Return to Product Page)

Bought this shoe to replace ancient Shimano lacer(s) that while de-soleing, (is that a word?) still functioned...I am a road biker...my first love was a sexy Italian triathlon model on close-out that you sent me, she was gorgeous, but we were all wrong for each other, I haven't worn cleats for years..I would have destroyed her. Your CSR recommended,.,. a "gravel" shoe...initially, I was turned off by the word, but she is so sensible and comfortable with the BOA system and a reliable traction sole, still a little bit slippery on pedals...we are considering having cleats again...it is a big commitment, but I can't wait for the second time around...

Started spin classes about 6 months ago. These were my second pair of shoes and I love them. Cool retro look and comfortable. Easy on and off. One of the guys in my class liked them and bought the same pair.
