Expedition Pro

Fantastic shoes , would not want to walk very far in them but very comfortable to ride in my only complaint no half sizes

The shoes are great. Great stiffness, solid (synthetic) leather although not too hot, very nice Boa system, high quality finish, really nice looks. I think the competition are the higher priced top models. I had an issue with the bolt, and the assistant was five stars, nice and fast to replace my shoes.

Zeer lichte schoen. Mooi afgewerkt. Breedte medium. Goed instelbaar. Zool zeer stijf. De vast zittende inlegzool biedt weinig steun. De maatvoering in cm klopt

They are incredible shoes, very light with spectacular finishes, very comfortable for several hours on the bike and at a very good price, totally recommended!

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.
