Pearl iZUMi Men's X-Alp Seek V Cycling Shoe Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Just got these in the mail, test rode them for 30 mins. They feel great. Easy to walk in, fairly stiff. I ordered one size up, I wear size 10 in pretty much any kind of shoe and 44 in road shoes but 45 in these and they fit perfectly.

The shoe is nice and the quaility is top notch. When they arrived, I tried them on with a pair of jeans and they actually look like everyday shoes you can wear. My teenage boys who are really into basketball shoes think they look great. My advice would be to listen to everyone that has given warnings about the EU shoe size differences. I normally wear at size 13 so I ordered a size 49 which is supposed to translate into a size 14. Well, the 49 barely fits me. I mean my toe is right at the top of the shoe. I like my athletic shoes to fit a little snug so I didn't send them back. Be sure to order 1 to 1.5 size large than what you wear in US. A 49.5 would have been perfect for me but they stop at a size 49.

Best Deals on Pearl iZUMi Men's X-Alp Seek V Cycling Shoe

I was looking for a shoe for use on my mountain bike that would also work on my road bike, and I think I've found a good match with this shoe. The upper seemed rigid at first, but once I took it for a ride, they worked out well and offered all the necessary protection and traction that I desired, without any discomfort. I loved the lace garage and had no worries about the laces interfering with the chain. I installed SPD cleats and the installation was fast and easy. I also appreciated that the cleat is recessed just enough that you don't notice it very much (if at all) when walking off the bike. It would be nice to see the shoe offered in other colors, but this is neutral enough for my needs. I do not like traditional cycling shoes and am pleased with the looks of this one as it is very much like a running shoe.

Honest reviews on Pearl iZUMi Men's X-Alp Seek V Cycling Shoe

Quality seems awesome and I think they would be really comfortable, if they came in my size. I typically wear a size 13 in 4E width and the 49's were long enough, but these things are just so darn narrow.

I typically wear a 9.5 or 10 so I got the 44's to start. My toes were at the end so I returned them for a size up (45) which convert to a US 11 and they're too big! I guess I'm some size in the middle, lucky me. They'll be OK since I can lace them snug but wish they were perfect cuz they're awesome every other way.

Note I suspect these are summer only shoes since I can actually feel the air coming thru the entire top toe surface area. Great ventilation but would be cold feet in low temps.

I really like them and would recommend if you have that perfect size foot. Great looking shoe and seem well made at this point.
