Description

The Expedition PRO blends the lightweight and stiffness of a road shoe with the durability of a mountain bike shoe. If you’re lining up for a gravel event or cross-country race, look no further. The perforated synthetic leather upper features bonded construction to reduce bulk for a breathable slipper-like fit. A pair of BOA® L6C dials give riders independent adjustment of the mid and forefoot zones and we incorporated Soft TX lace guides to eliminate pressure points across the top of the foot. Off-road riding can be dirty work, so we wrapped the toe and heel of the 1:1® EX PRO Carbon sole in a scuff-resistant TPU layer and incorporated a mud-shedding open tread design. Inside, you’ll find a dual-density footbed that’s ergonomically designed to provide optimal support, pedaling efficiency and comfort. Crush the big miles in comfort with the Expedition PRO.

Care

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.

A shoe for all seasons (well... most)

I bought the Pearl Izumi Expedition Pro shoes after trying on a wide range of similarly priced all-road shoes. I have a slightly wide foot and found that the other makes I tried were universally slightly narrow, with the exception of one other well-known brand whose name is synonymous with an inland body of water, although these Pearl Izumis had slightly better grip in the heel.

The feature I particularly liked was the ability to accommodate a slightly wider forefoot fit due to the very well set up twin Boa adjusters. They also come with better-than-the-rest insoles in the event that you do not plan to get fitted insoles. Overall they fit well right out of the box and not only have a good range of adjustment in the forefoot but also cup the heel well.

They are nicely stiff with a carbon midsole and are light – my size 45 shoes tip the scales at around 320 grammes each, which is not bad for all-road shoes. All together they are well designed for road riding with the cleat position able to shift well back behind the ball of the foot and has enough grip underneath for off-road riding when it isn’t too muddy.
