Perfect Road Shoe
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I've got roughly 1k miles in these shoes now and I've thoroughly enjoyed every mile. This shoe isn't the lightest on the market, but the fit is great for my foot (Pearl Izumi shaped footer here), and the dual boa makes these a perfect fit all around. I went with the white and they're FRESH looking, occasionally I do need to give them a quick wipe down with a wet cloth to freshen them up but all around a really good looking and performing shoe. With the milage i have on them now, I've begun to notice some arch fatigue on harder pushes, so I'll likely be upgrading the stock footbed to continue supporting my feet.

Shoes look/fit great. Kind of surprised the laces are thinner than some of the Shimano shoes I've tried. 2nd pair of Izumis, great shoes. Sizing I've measured my feet at a shoe store and they're between a 13.5-14 (US), so finding shoes that fit well is kind of a struggle. These fit perfectly for my feet (Sz 49).
