Pearl Izumi Shoes

[queenridingbee]

I own a pair and wear a size 10 shoe. My shoes are size 42 style Vagabond R4. They're the first and only pair I've ever owned so I don't have anything to compare them to. They fit well, not too small & not too tight, all over. If I don't tighten the straps enough my heel can move around but it's fine when/if I re-tighten them again.

fwiw, I have no complaints about the shoe.

Q

added... i've used them initially with SPD cleats and currently with Look style cleats.

which model did you order? We have a coupleof womens shoes in the shop, and everyone seems to like them.

I have a pair of PIs, but I've had them for a bit and don't remember the name/model. I've got no complaints. I normally wear a sz 7 shoe and these are 39s.

If they are the PRO road, I am very interested to hear how you life them.

We sell them in the shop and I am curious about them, but at the same time do not want another pair of white shoes(white is the only thing stopping me from getting another pair of specialized carbon shoes).

I am looking at the PRO road(because they are one of the shoes I can get) along with SIDI, Shimano, and DMT. If any women have any thoughts on any of the carbon soled shoes from these brands, I would love to hear about it!

p.s. sorry for the thread jack!

I ordered the X-Alp Seek. They were supposed to be here today (I paid for Fedex 2-day), but I think b/c they were backordered and didn't ship with everything else they sent them using a cheaper post. Something called Smartpost? It takes 2-7 business days so it may be another week before they get here.

I did finally find an LBS by me that had shoes in my size - they only had one pair out of all the women's shoes in the entire store, but they fit really well. They're the Specialized Riata. So now I have an option if the PIs don't work out.
