Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I own 3 pair of PI shoes, x-road, enduro 2 and these. Out of all 3, these are definitely my favorite. I don't even want to wear the others anymore and they are still in excellent condition. I think it has to do with the new mid-sole on the shoe. Instead of the plastic nylon mid-sole like on the older models, this sole is really more like a tennis shoe all the way through. So now when I need to ride unclipped on my Time Atac Alums, I can because the mid-sole gives me grip now.
Another positive thing about this shoe is that it seems a lot more stiff than the older PI shoes. With thee stiffer sole and nylon band that keeps your heal down, I get a lot more power out of these shoes than I do with my other two.
The only thing I had trouble with was the tread thickness is really aggressive around cleat area. The cleat sits really recessed and makes it hard to unclip. I put CB shields under my cleats and it has help a lot...so an easy fix if you run into this.
Overall, the shoes are great and they seem true to size. I normally wear a 10-10.5 in US and I ordered a 45, and they fit perfect. When off the bike, these feel just like regular shoes and have no issues with the cleat clacking on the ground, even with the CB Shields in.

Pearl iZUMi's X-Alp Elite is the perfect hike-to-bike shoe--thanks to the nylon plate on its lugged outsole that enables phenomenal pedaling power, while the flexible forefoot and beveled heel make it a great hiking shoe in its own right. You'll love the low-cut upper for its light fit, light weight and superior breathability.
