Pearl Izumi Vortex MBT 5009- Very good shoes. The only problem is the inner metal plate is too weak. When I tried to tighten the screws, the threading surrounding the hole simply broke under the pressure of the cleat screw.

Pearl Izumi Vortex cleat issues - I think this is a great shoe for hard core off-road cycling. It has a great fit, feel, and appearance. The only issue that I found with it was the cleat attachment that comes with the shoe. As I tried to attach my cleats (Shimano SH51) to the shoe, the plate in the insole was too weak to handle the tightening of the cleat screws. The threading surrounding the hole simply broke under the pressure of the cleat screw. I had to use the plates included with the pedals and cleats.

Pearl Izumi Vortex - I switched to this shoe from the older version of the Pearl Izumi Vagabond. I wore it for about a year and thought it was a great shoe so I decided to try another Pearl Izumi shoe. These shoes look cool, are comfortable, and like the Vagabond, the Vortex is very rigid and provides excellent support during the ride, however, I never have to retighten the straps halfway through the trail because of the ratchet buckle. Eggbeater clipless cleats fit perfectly with the shim. The tread has good grip and the shoe comes with toe spikes if you need extra. Zappos was great to work with too. They processed and shipped my order very quickly and even upgraded the shipping to 2-day for free. I highly recommend the Vortex. It's an awesome shoe without the high price.

Dear Zappo Friends, WHOA! I hit the "Buy" key, and the next thing I know is... my shoes are on my feet! SNAP! I will most certainly be doing business ("Shoe Biz") in the very near future! Kudos and Lauds, Nancy K.
