Cycling Shoes

Most of the best rides require a bit of time doing something that nobody likes to talk about: walking. The Pearl Izumi X-Alp Peak makes the most of this, whether you are carrying your bike to find an epic descent or balancing on wet logs during a stream crossing. It comes down to the sole, which features their 1:1 Next Step design, and sticky, yet durable, Vibram rubber compound. A 3/4-length shank allows the shoe to flex just ahead of the ball of the foot for a natural walking gait, without compromising pedaling performance. The modern, lightweight seamless upper delivers all-day comfort and shrugs off errant rock strikes, thanks to added toe protection. Features: - Bonded seamless upper delivers lightweight, durable riding performance - Reinforced toe cap for added protection - Traditional lace closure for a precise fit and all-day comfort - Lace lock provides a safe place to stash your laces to keep them free of your drivetrain - Nylon/carbon composite 3/4-length shank for efficient power transfer and off-the-bike versatility - Lightweight EVA midsole for off-the-bike cushioning and all-day comfort - Aggressive, lugged Vibram Megagrip compound outsole for superior traction and durability - SPD Compatible - Weight: 430 grams / 15.2 oz.
