PEARL iZUMi  Attack Road Cycling Shoes - Men's

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.

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.

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.

this is an awesome boot, light weight and stiff sole that allows for better power transfer. I have put both road and mtn/grvl cleats, and in both it excels so the option for terrain and pedal is a plus. honestly, for the price cant be beat.

I should start off by saying I first bought some Pearl Izumi gravel shoes, and I loved them so much, I had to buy the comparable road shoes. In both cases, they are light and fit perfectly. I don’t want to wear anything else.

Okay so at first they were kinda tight. Then I tried them on again and still kinda tight. Then I put cleats on them and took them for a ride and WOW. Super comfy. Roomy enough for my wide feet! Get them!
