Had these now about 2 weeks and put some miles on bike with them. First pair of true "TRI" specific bike shoe. They feel great so far. I wear them without socks so far as you would in a race.They are easy to get feet in and out of and open wide for quick entry. Well venilated for comfort. Some say cold/cool in winter, but I live and train in FL, so that's not a factor. Our "winter" this year had some temps in 50's and a cold snap here or there, but that's it. Have not tried yet on trainer, but i'm sure they're fine for that as well.
Best Deals on Pearl iZUMi Men's TRI Fly III Cycling Shoe
I've only been using these shoes for a few weeks, but I am very pleased with them. I started just using them on a spin bike to get used to clipping in and out. I have now moved on to riding with them on my bike. I just recently started practicing my transitions with the shoes on the bike at first and then leaving them on the bike coming into T2. They are very easy to get into and out of while on the bike. The single big strap and the loop on the bike make it easy. I have been riding in them barefoot for anywhere from 45-90 minutes and have not had any problems with blisters. Lots of air flows through the shoe.I ordered one size larger than I needed because I have a wide foot. I was worried they would either be too tight or too long. But, they are actually a really good fit. There is some extra space in the front of the toe box, but I can comfortably tighten the strap so that my foot doesn't slip around.
This is my first cycling/triathlon shoe and I am very pleased with it. I definitely recommend this shoe.
Honest reviews on Pearl iZUMi Men's TRI Fly III Cycling Shoe
For those of us who ride a lot, I usually replace my shoes every year, primarily because the metal loops rust out or the shoe begins to stink. I always found that Tri-Shoes are easier to get on and get off due to the velcro tabs being on the inside of your shoe instead of the regular road shoe where the tabs are on the outside of the shoe. Obviously the inside tabs make the shoe easier and faster to remove, important points for a triathelete who wants to save time in his.her transition. Tri-shoes usually only have two tabs, some have three, but that is overkill in my opinion. Pearl Izumi is an american company, although their stuff is all made in the far east. They make quality sporting clothes, better than most other companies. Their speciality is running and cycling and I see that they are trying to expand their offerings to other sports. These shoes are up to PI quality standards with a three hole cleat matrix and removable inserts (so you can wash them). I too do not wear socks and also do not have blisters or hot spots. Most tri-atheletes do not wear socks in their cycling shoes since that slows them down on the transitions. They will wear socks in their running shoes (for the most part) since the chance of getting blisters is much greater.For a good suggestion, liberally pour Gold Bond Foot powder in your shoe before each ride to mitigate the problems with athlete foot and stinky toes. You'll be surprised how long your shoes will last.
