PEARL iZUMi  Attack Road Cycling Shoes - Men's

I've done only one ride so far with these shoes. I'm hoping the stiff tongue will soften a bit once the shoes break in a bit. They look good and now that I have the cleat position dialed in I hope to happily ride these shoes for many years. I bought 43s in this shoe. A 42. 5 would be perfect but sadly no half sizes are offered.

I'll admit - it's been way too long since I bought a pair of bike shoes. These are quite different than my old velcro shimano shoes. I really like that it retained the 2 bolt spd mounts since that's the kind of pedals I already had on my bike. The fastening system is easy and secure, the rubber heal does make walking on slick floors a little easier. I like everything about these shoes except my feet get very warm in them. The upper material is perforated but it does not provide much relief. The whole shoe feels kind of like a neoprene material, it could really use some mesh or something to improve airflow.

They finally arrived! I've been wearing the same bike shoes for YEARS. A new pair was long overdue. So, Peal Izumi it is! These shoes fit great! I love the ease of turning a knob to tighten my fit. So far, so good.

I was apprehensive about buying shoes with thin wire laces and a locking knob but knowing the quality of PI items I did it. The shoes are excellent, but the wires are very thin and knob felt like cheap plastic. As anticipated, the wire broke after two years of lite riding. It was under warranty (that's good) but the site was down for almost a week. When it came up I found the process to be redundant and time consuming. There was an unreasonable constraint on photo size, the download file button didn't work on the web version (it worked fine from the phone) and whole process took over 30 minutes for me to complete. Like so many excellent companies, PI was purchased by private Equity in 2022 and the new owners seem to have driving the quality down.

I really love my shoes! It's the first time I've bought bike shoes online, as I was concerned about fit, but these fit just right. And I'm impressed with the BOA closure. Where has that been for all the years I've been riding? I also love the matte black finish and raised rubber heel pad for walking. It's nearly the same height as my Wahoo Speedplay built-in cleat covers, so I can walk short distances comfortably when I get off my bike. As with all Pearl Izumi gear, these shoes are very well designed and built.

My last pair of PA Road shoes lasted for over 10 years and tens of thousands of miles. I have a lot of PA stuff and all of it is durable and high quality. I ordered these shoes in the same size as my previous pair but I had to exchange them because they were too small. PA also put me on a heavily used email list I didn't sign up for and the 'unsubscribe' button just takes me to a PA webpage without an unsubscribe option.

I like the technical elastic lacing on these, hoping that the mechanism stands the test of time because it does seem a bit fragile (I'm sure I'll be fine as long as I don't slam it against something solid). The shoes are narrow, but not so narrow to be uncomfy or not fit my "standard" foot width. They are lighweight and I like the style. I am a size 11 normally and followed the sizing guide exactly and it worked well.

The quality seems to very good. I like the carbon sole, the materials, etc. The fit is narrow. I cannot make these work for me. I read as much as I could find about the fit, and have used Pearl Izumi shoes in the past with no issue. Disappointed, will be returning these if possible.

I like these shoes a lot. To be a bit critical, two tension knobs (not the right terminology) would be better as my forefoot is snug, and my heel is loose. Otherwise, they have performed really nicely in the rain, heat, on road and gravel. I definately recommend for the value.

Another quality product at a good price. Comfortable fit, true to size, stiff where you need it and solid transfer of power to the peddle. You can buy better for 2x the price. Unless you race or are OCD, these are a great bang for the buck.
