X-Alp Flow Mountain Bike Shoes - Men's

About this find

The PEARL iZUMi X-Alp Flow mountain bike shoes are made for riders who want a secure, grippy ride. The rubber lugged outsole provides traction on the trail, and the platform cleat design lets you walk comfortably off the bike. A lace-up closure lets you snug them to your foot, and the lace lock gives your laces a safe place to stash them so they stay clear of your drivetrain.

Inside, EVA midsoles absorb shock when you land hard after a jump or drop. Nylon composite shanks help transfer power efficiently, so more of your pedaling effort goes into moving the bike forward. The upper is rubber and plastic, and the footbed is EVA. The pair weighs about 1 pound, so they feel light on your feet.

These shoes are designed for mountain biking, so they work best on the bike and the trail. Pair them with riding shorts and a cycling sock for a simple, practical look. They're built for riding rather than everyday dress wear, so save them for your next trip to the trailhead.
