The "go to" shoe for those epic rides that involve any hiking.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.
