Date Reviewed: November 27, 2006

Strengths:    nice looking

Weaknesses:    piece of crap. The BOA system failed on me on the day of a big race (La Ruta). The little tiny string they put in snapped. Stay far far far away from this system. Poorly engineered and it'll get you when least expected. I only rode these shoes while racing. So, maybe about 12 times or so. Not much.

Bottom Line:   
sucks. Go Velcro!!! I heard those little plastic connectors snap. Even on the expensive shoes.

Submitted by Jason Luther a Cross Country Rider from Sault Ste. Marie, ontario, Canada

Date Reviewed: July 21, 2006

Strengths:    very stiff sole, the boa retentions system is secure and doesn't create ony hot spots on my feet.

Weaknesses:    Last night I broke one of the cables that is part of the retention system. I contacted Pearl directly and they said they would send me a couple and they were almost as easy to change as a regular shoelace.

Bottom Line:   
I love these shoes, pearl izumi was very prompt to answer the question I had about replacing the retention strap. In the pearls I found a shoe that fits my wide larger foot. My next pair will definitly be another set of pearls.
