"These shoes looked great and I thought they would be a great addition to my biking apparel. However, they were too small. I was certain they if I matched the euro sizing with what I normally wear, I'd be safe but the normal 46 was WAY to small for my feet. I'd need a 47.5 or 48. So there is an issue with how the sizing has been calculated."
"Great shoes for mtb Very comfortable and easy fit Size fit perfectly"
"Perfect fit and excellent price. My wife just gifted me a gravel bike. I purchased dual pedals as I wasn't exactly sure if i wanted clipless or not. These give me the best of both worlds without breaking the bank."
"Watch the sizing, in what world is EU45 a US 10.5? Also, would be good if they sold them with cleats."
"I need it to fit better to my feet"
"They fit great, not issues at all. Love the comfort they over. This is my 3rd pair of Pearl Izumi. I wanted to try something different this time around but I’m so glad I stuck with what I know. They for true to size 10.5!"
"These were a bargain, feel great, are easy to get on and off and still stay snugly on the pedals. Plus they can be walked in fine without the clips clanging on the pavement surface."
"Consider the X-ALP Divide as an essential shoe with the best toe box of any clipless shoe I have owned in twenty years. This is the second pair that I have purchased, just a different color. They do not have any hi-tech frills to break and probably stiff enough for the average rider. Tons of life left in my other pair after two seasons and expect the same from this pair."
"Comfortable fit- good value"
"…they run about half a size small. I usually wear a 45 so ordered that size. Upon putting them on they fit and are comfortable with the thinner size socks I own. All that said I really like the shoe. The configuration of the rubber makes them very easy to get into the pedals. With most MTN SPD shoes the cleats are at rubber level or slightly above so when walking around, like at a rest stop during a ride the cleats make a scratching noise on the pavement or going inside, like a deli will scratch floors. The design on this sole has the clear slightly below rubber level. But as mentioned out of all the MTN shoes I’ve ever owned, are the easiest to get in the pedal. If they were available in a 46 I would scoop up that size immediately. I gave it one less star because the shoe is AT LEAST a half size too small."
