The Pearl Izumi X-Alp Gravel Shoe borrows attributes from both road and mountain shoes. Equally at home on gravel, XC trails or all-day adventures. Pearl borrowed technology from their X-Project so that neither walkability or pedaling stiffness suffer. They cut the upper from a durable 1-piece synthetic leather and added perforations to let feet breathe. A single L6 BOA closure provides equal pressure across the instep. Extra toe protection helps with errant stones and any extended or uphill hikes. A short EVA insert at the heel provides noticeable vibration damping to reduce fatigue on longer rides over rough roads.

- Seamless perforated synthetic upper for improved breathability and comfort
