Pearl Izumi's Expedition PRO shoes are the ultimate choice for off - road cycling. They're the lightest, stiffest, and most comfortable off - road shoes around. Just like a high - performance road shoe, they offer remarkable lightweight design and stiffness. Whether you're gearing up for a gravel event or a cross - country race, these shoes are your go - to. The perforated synthetic leather upper uses bonded construction, reducing bulk for a breathable, slipper - like fit. With a pair of BOA® L6C dials, you can independently adjust the mid and forefoot areas. Soft TX lace guides are added to get rid of pressure points on the top of your feet. Off - road riding can be messy, so we've wrapped the toe and heel of the 1:1® EX PRO Carbon sole in a scuff - resistant TPU layer and designed an open tread to shed mud. Inside, there's a dual - density footbed that's ergonomically made for optimal support, pedaling efficiency, and comfort. Enjoy long rides in comfort with the Expedition PRO. Features include 2 - bolt cleat compatibility, Soft TX lace guides to avoid pressure and hotspots, a reinforced toe bumper for extra durability, a 1:1® EX PRO Carbon sole for great pedaling and off - bike hiking, and a BOA® Fit System with L6C dials.
Using these Expedition PRO shoes is a breeze. First, adjust the BOA® L6C dials to fit your mid and forefoot just right. The dials let you make independent adjustments, so you can customize the fit for maximum comfort. Clip your 2 - bolt cleats onto the shoes and you're ready to hit the off - road trails. When riding, the reinforced toe bumper will protect your feet from rocks and debris. As for maintenance, after a dirty off - road ride, use a soft brush to clean the mud off the open tread of the sole. Wipe the upper part of the shoes with a damp cloth. Make sure to dry the shoes thoroughly before storing them. Also, avoid exposing the shoes to extreme heat or direct sunlight for a long time, as it might damage the materials. With proper use and care, these shoes will serve you well for many off - road adventures.
