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.

 |  | Thank you! I have a grandson whose birthday is November 11th and this will make him a very happy boy! Yes, he does wear size 7 in mens and is only 8 years old. I live in Texas, and with his order going to Michigan, he has to deal with much colder weather, he has a greater need for his comfort in their colder weather. I will be ordering from you for all his clothing needs, but have to confirm, I have a son-in-law who wears size 15 to 15 1/2. I will be shopping for him as well as my daughter who wears women's size 8. I would like to thank you, and all your staff for making my orders "special priority" and taking a simple opportunity to make an 8 year olds birthday a “Happy Birthday!” |  | ~ Nora C., November 09 2009
