PEARL IZUMI PRO ROAD V5 CYCLING SHOE

PEARL IZUMI PRO ROAD V5 CYCLING SHOE

In our quest to make the highest performing shoe possible, we used less, reducing the amount of material for the all-carbon fiber upper and sole. Re-engineering the sole was a 24-month process, during which we worked to concentrate the carbon only where necessary, achieving a 22% weight saving compared to the previous soleplate. The fully socked upper means we can adjust each area for the right level of flexibility and retention, plus there's no waste from the cut; we use it exactly as it is finished. And by gluing almost all the seams, we created a shoe that weighs less and offers greater comfort thanks to less bulk.

The fully machined upper offers zonal stretch, high breathability and reduces waste
1:1® PRO Air Carbon Power Plate reduces weight and adds ventilation, without sacrificing stiffness
Boa® IP1 dual coils allow 1mm micro-adjustment and open for full release
The 1:1 dual density footbed is ergonomically designed to provide optimal support, pedaling efficiency and comfort
Fit: small size; order half a size larger
