Product details:

Updated from the previous generation, the Pearl Izumi X-Alp Elevate Cycling Shoe sheds some weight and adds support for your off-road epics by bike. Taking a bit off the top, Pearl Izumi reduces the bulk and weight of the tongue and upper material so you’ll feel lighter on the pedals and freer when on-foot. Pure cyclists will enjoy updated dual-dial BOA Fit System that hugs with just the right amount of pressure to keep feet stable in punchy, uphill switchbacks. And the adventure-seeker in us will find limitless exploration with the Vibram ECOSTEP rubber sole that provides off-the-beaten-path walkability. For such adventures, Pearl Izumi adds a reinforced toe box to fend on rocky impacts and an EVA midsole to cushion on hard-pack trails. The synthetic and seamless upper reduces abrasion wear and tear that wreck your classic sneakers on rough terrain. The perforated tongue helps evaporate moisture and vent heat under clear blue skies. This highly functional mountain-lover is equipped with a two-bolt cleat mount to accommodate standard mountain-style pedal systems and recesses the cleat out of the way for normal walking patterns.
