Description

The X-Alp Summit is a great shoe for all-day mountain bike adventures. Fully redesigned from the ground-up, the X-Alp Summit shoe receives trickle-down technology from our flagship X-Elevate trail shoe, including a Nylon composite sole that balances pedaling efficiency with walkability and a Grippy Vibram ECOSTEP rubber outsole that will help you navigate the gnarliest hike-a-bike sections. An L6 BOA® Fit System works alongside the Velcro toe strap to provide a comfortable, secure fit. The synthetic leather upper features a plethora of perforations to improve ventilation and allow your feet to dry out after creek crossings. Mountain biking can be rough work, so we reinforced the toe box to ward off rock strikes.

• Seamless, perforated synthetic upper for comfort and breathability

Care

SHOE CARE AND MAINTENANCE: Clean mud off with a damp sponge and then stuff the inside of the shoes with paper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Never clean shoes in a washing machine. Keep the outsole clean by scrubbing with a soft brush when needed. Air dry at room temperature. Do not dry the shoes by a fire, radiator or other heat source. Do not leave them in your car on a hot day. Extreme, direct heat can cause the materials to dry out or crack. This will damage your shoes and void your warranty.

Trail shoes praised for comfort and walkability. Customers said "great fitting shoes" with "robust material" and "perfect fit." The BOA closure system works well. However, sizing runs inconsistent - some find them small, others large. EU sizing translation is incorrect. Durability concerns noted with soles cracking after extended use.

EU sizing is incorrectly translated

Shoes are perfekt to me, but EU sizing is incorrectly translated.

UK 9 is EU 42.5 - 43 and not 44 as written on box.

This leads to more retour-shippings, which means more CO2 pollution.

1 star less.

Great walkability, poor sizing

The shoe feels great for medium-width feet. Sole has the right amount of flex for gravel tours where you may need to unclip and walk while pushing your bike for a few hundred meters.

However, the sizing of the shoe is off by at least half a size. Bought the size I usually use for Shimano shoes and had issues with my big toe hitting the front.

Goo but larger and warm

Not as good as my ver old pair of trusty x-alp. The new ones are definitely a bit lager, which is actially of a good thing though, becase now a size 44 is actually a 44. But be careful if you expect them to a litte be on the smaller side as they used to be. They are also a little bit warmer a hot day as they only have very small ventilation holes, not a net/mesh.
I love the BOA for quickly take the off.

chaussure parfaitement adaptée à un programme vélo/ marche, mais fragile.

J'ai acheté ces chaussures dans la perspective d'une participation à une épreuve d'ultra distance cyclisme VTT. J'ai parcouru près de 1100 km sur des chemins et plus particulièrement des chemins de montagne.
Ces chaussures correspondent tout à fait à ce programme, à la fois aptes au cyclisme mais aussi à la marche. De surcroît ces chaussures sont confortables à porter.
Deux remarques :
- la chaussure étant souple par nature, il faut serrer au minimum les fixations, sous peine de difficultés à sortir le pied des pédales.
- la semelle des deux chaussures a fini par se fendre sur l'avant (au niveau de la pliure à la marche).
En résumé une chaussure parfaitement adaptée à un programme vélo/ marche, mais fragile à l'usage.

Great trail/enduro shoes

Great fitting shoes. BOA works really well along with front velcro, keep feet snug. I found them slightly small to size - I wear 43EU normally, bit found I needed the 44EU X-alp Summit.
Really comfy to walk around in for 'clippy' type shoes!

Passform für mich gut

Habe einen breiteren Vorderfuß welcher nicht oft in Schuhe passt. Pearl hat anscheinend einen breiteren Leisten welcher mir zugute kommt.
Längerfristige Erfahrung konnte ich noch nicht sammeln.
