Description

The PRO Air represents the pinnacle of PEARL iZUMi’s expertise in design and construction, proving that a featherweight shoe doesn’t need to sacrifice comfort and support. We combined the lightweight materials from the original PRO Air with the precise adjustability of a BOA® Fit System to create the next generation of our category-leading road shoe. The foundation of the PRO Air is a light-yet-stiff 1:1® PRO Air Power Plate sole designed in partnership with the experts at Ruckus Composites. The upper is constructed from a light and durable mesh laminate with zonal construction to reinforce critical areas while shedding weight from regions where it isn’t needed. In keeping with the premium build, the PRO Air is equipped with dual metal BOA® Li2 dials with two-way micro adjust, letting riders find their perfect fit with the flick of a wrist. If you’re seeking performance without compromise, look no further than the PRO Air.

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.

Great shoes

I wasn’t sure of the sizing, so contacted customer support, who replied quickly. Shoes arrived quickly. The fit is excellent, as I have wide feet, they are very comfortable and cool for summer riding

This shoe runs hot.

I bought these road shoes after being pleased with my Tri-fly triathlon shoes over the last few years but now needed a dedicated pair of road shoes. I thought I knew the size I from the Tri-flys so ordered the same size. However I think these come up bit larger, ether that or they are made on a wider last as the toe section is roomy. It appears that returns are free in Europe (the European distributor seems to be in Belgium) so I would advise ordering your normal size plus one up and one down to bemore sure of getting the right ones.
I did check with the Pearl Izumi chat bot and got this:
Hi Nick!

Returns are free within the first 30 days of purchase. After that, there will be a shipping fee. Just keep in mind that items need to be new, unused, and have their tags attached. We can only accept returns for items purchased within the last 60 days.

The shoes are well made, light and stiff. The double Boas work really well so the fit is great around the heel and ankle with no slipping and good power transmission.
I use Look shoe plates which covered the datum markings on the sole. I had to extend them using a rule and white marker pen to get it right.
The difficulty I encountered, when using the here in the UK summer, is that the are hot. They appear to be well ventilated but the areas of ventilation are small or ineffective. The whole of the inner side of the shoe, from toe to heel, doesn't breathe. And this is dispite it having holes punched inside a
and out! It seems to be a three-ply construction with the centre ply being non-breathing which
makes the hole punching pointless.
For:
Well made, light-weight, great power transmission, easily adjustable. At a bargain price on the sale.
Against:
Runs hot, maybe too hot.

A high end race shoe who fits very well and can be ajusted very easily with 2 Boa closure system buttons.
The shoe is very well ventilated which will be good for the summer.
