Blemish Warning: This is a returned pair of Pearl Izumi cycling shoes that shows signs of light use. The uppers exhibit minor creasing in the fabric around the toe and sides, consistent with being worn a few times, but there are no visible tears, scuffs, or significant dirt marks. The laces and stitching remain in good condition. The soles, designed for flat pedals, show light scuff marks and minor dirt embedded in the tread pattern, particularly around the toe and midfoot areas, indicating some walking or pedaling use. The rubber sole has slight wear in high-contact areas but remains fully functional with no significant damage. These blemishes are cosmetic and do not affect the performance of the shoes. Please review the images carefully before purchasing.
