Pearl Izumi X Project Elite Mountain Bike Shoe Women's

Mountain bike shoes often have to sacrifice on something. To be comfortable for all day wear, they lose snappiness, but to be responsive on the XC course, they often give up traction on more technical hike a bike sections. If you've been getting around this by keeping multiple pairs of shoes in your garage, let us offer an alternative. The Pearl Izumi Women's X Project Elite Mountain Bike Shoe comes with the lightness of an XC race shoe, and the attitude of a trail shoe that wants to go out adventuring on after your race is over. A carbon fiber sole, Boa dial closure, and barely there synthetic uppers give it its race ready XC pedigree, but underneath, beefy carbon tipped TPU rubber lugs are begging to be taken into chunkier, muddier terrain. An EVA foam heel delivers extra cush when you hopping off and on the bike during all day soujourns, and the breathable three layer uppers come free of overlays for a fit that won't start to feel restricting when a few wrong turns extend your ride.
