Why We Like The PRO Road Cycling Shoe
Pearl Izumi wasn't messing around when it came back for the fifth-generation of its PRO Road Cycling Shoes. The brand aimed for a clean, minimalist shoe that takes stiffness to the max thanks to its re-engineered sole that took 24-months of fine detail before being released to us. This lands the 5th-gen at 22% lighter than its predecessor, with every ounce of stiffness and support that we found before.

Very bright pink. Pretty cool looking really but very pink. Hifiz for sure. Tried to dye them with dark red dye but did not work. Photos are after the dye which changed it a touch more toward an orange. Otherwise great shoe. Super stiff sole, lightweight, snug fit. True to size. Recommend overall just beware about the red one being pink.

On a recommendation from one of the gearheads I decided to try these even though I had reservations simple because they were labeled Pearl Izumi. Well here's the issues with these. Boa dials are the old style very noisy and no micro adjustments. Sound like a rachet wrench going bad. FIt- Ordered a 44.5 my usual size 10 and same according to their chart. Couldn't even get my foot into the sock like opening to try to put the shoe on. The insole I could not spread enough. (I am a typical 10 D in shoes)The fabric around that you would normally put your foot into is roughly cut on the edges and really not high quality at all. I could not get my foot in these to try the heel cup but it too seemed to be of inferior padding etc. These shoes are priced the same as Specialized Sworks 7, Shimano RC-9, Bontrager XXX and clearly are not in the same league. While you may not be looking for a pro-level shoe at least they should be constructed and use the higher quality materials these others use.
